What is a chronograph?

Chronographs measure best times.

Chronographs are characterized by the fact that they include an additional timekeeping feature, such as a sub-dial that allows for independent, precise timing.

Chronographs that include an additional stopwatch are a popular accessory for athletes and anyone who needs a measuring device to keep track of best times, running times, preparation times, or similar.

Chronographs are equipped with pushers directly on the case that initiate time measurement. These pushers are large enough to allow for comfortable operation of the function.

Chronographs are characterized by additional dials as well as large cases and pushers. This creates an appearance that can be described as technical to complex. These features make chronographs pieces of jewelry with a masculine appeal.

Movements in chronographs are often mechanical. Quartz movements are also used. For lovers of the extravagant, there are even chronographs with digital displays.
