The Evolution And Uses Of Chronograph Watches

Earlier, the chronograph watches worked on the following basis. The second hand used to be the normal one, until the knob was pushed. The hand jumped to 12, and it stayed there until the button was released. As soon as the button was released, the hand resumed its normal function. This made the watch a stopwatch: with the other button, the second hand was stopped for a short period.

In 1969, Zenith and Movado introduced Chronomat and El Primero; the first watches of that kind. Both of them had balance wheels that made around 19,000 and 36,000 beats per hour respectively. They were the pinnacle of exact time measurements.

Today, the technology has improved so much that these watches are used for Formula 1 race cars. These can even measure split seconds accurately. So, like everything else, these watches have evolved with time and have become the best in this field.

There are also chronographs that have displays for day, date and moon phase indications. There are various famous branded chronographs available in the market.
