What is the difference between a chronograph and a chronometer?

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011

A chronograph is a watch with hands that display hours, minutes and seconds, together with a mechanism for measuring elapsed time by means of a central chronograph hand, which records seconds, and 30-minute and 12-hour totalisers. A chronometer is a watch that has obtained an official rate certificate from the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute) after having passed precision tests in different positions and at different temperatures, as well as water-resistance tests. These tests are conducted over a 15-day period.

One of The Very First Portable Clocks

Sunday, July 3rd, 2011


Timepieces have a long history. It is believed that King Henry VIII had one of the very first portable clocks (a watch), which he wore on a large gold chain around his neck. However, his watch only had an hour hand, and timepieces have come a very long way since his time. In the modern world, watches are typically worn on the wrist and they come in countless styles and shapes. Wrist watches were originally designed and sold in the late 19th century as a woman’s accessory. But when the first airplanes were being flown in the early 20th century, this timepiece became a very useful item for aviators – thus launching the wrist watch into popular culture. Now in the 21st century, all over the world, people of all nations wear watches.
