The Sporting Image

At the beginning of this century, stopwatches were used mainly by sportsmen and the military. Professionally, they had to be able to measure the time of certain events accurately. For them, a chronograph was a practical choice.

Stopwatches are still indissolubly attached to sport. Nowadays, the difference between Gold and Silver is very often a matter of hundredths of a second. Mechanical watches can't measure this, so quartz chronographs are used. Today, wearing a chronograph is a matter of taste, rather than professional. The chronograph is becoming a fashion statement.

Beside those who choose functionality or image, there is a small group of enthusiasts (collectors) that considers the movement to be the most beautiful part of the watch. If you have ever seen a chronograph opened up, you might know what this is about. It is an arranged chaos, in which tiny springs, pawls and gears set the chrono movement in motion. Every minute part has its own role in the functioning of the whole watch.
