It can stop, go, reset, and start again. Think about it as a stopwatch at its most basic level, though chronographs definitely have more features built into them. Omega Speedmaster Chronograph watches serve a specific purpose.
This is essentially what they are for. It can measure your heart rate, calculate your average speed, or keep track of two events at the same time. There are also chronographs that have telemetre functions. This could inform you of the distance to a certain event that could either be seen or heard.
Remarkably, these timepieces can still tell the time accurately despite all these complicated functions. It is a testament to the craftsmanship of the chronograph and is the main reason why chronograph watches have a higher price tag.
This brings us to the next reason why you should get the best chronograph watch. Well, almost two watches, being that chronograph watches automatically have two functions, such as a watch and stopwatch. It also could have more than that. There are some multi-scale chronographs that are available in the market. This includes a telemetre, a pulsometer, and regular watch functions in one. Mechanical movement guarantees a long and useful life if the owner uses it carefully and services it regularly.
Despite having to face several harsh conditions of temperature variation, magnetic, and gravitational field distortions, it still has the ability to maintain a great deal of accuracy.
Watch enthusiasts consider Longines as an entry-level luxury watch. Many enthusiasts argue that Longines may have reduced in quality and that a few people opt for the vintage collections than the recent ones.
I do not know about that, so I would prefer to be silent. But from reviews, comments, and reading materials online, I think Longines is still as much a quality watch brand as before.
Although Longines is designed for use by anyone who values quality and is willing to pay for it, some celebrities take pride in being identified as Longines users. Some of such celebrities and their profiles are listed below:. Aaron is one of the most influential Asian artists. Being an elegant lady, she has been the brand ambassador of Elegance since She has received several awards since she became a Bollywood actress.
Simon has been a Longines Ambassador of Elegance since His best description is a multidimensional Australian actor who can play many roles. He has earned both Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for best actor because of his performance in The Mentalist, a highly rated show in Australia. Kate is one of the most admired actresses all over the world, and do you want to know the reason for that? She had won an Oscar award before then, but The Titanic earned her a second Oscar nomination.
She has featured in many other films since then. Kate became a part of the Longines family in An established South Korean actor, director, and producer who started as a fashion model, Jung is an ambassador of Elegance. He has featured in many movies, won many awards, but two of his most notable works are The Good, the Bad, and the Weird in Then in , he nailed it with Asura: The City of Madness.
Are Longines Watches Good Quality? Water and Dust Resistance Depending on the kind of Longines watch and what it is tailored to, it may be water-resistant or not. Superb Material Make-up I have seen shiny watches that lose their shine, leather straps that begin to peel off, gold watches that turn silver, and supposed stainless steel cases that start to rust within a couple of months. Where Are Longines Watches Made? After a lot of looking for a truly rugged chronograph dive watch, I found one I really liked, bought it, Then discovered that those big super luminova covered hands that made the watch so easy to read in the dark, blocked visibility of the sub-dials—it takes the minute hand an excruciatingly long time to get past the hour and minute sub-dials.
Nice thin tritium-lit hour and minute hands would make this watch perfect. The older I get, the simpler I like my watches. At this point I prefer a good old 3,hand automatic.
It has the day, date, even the month and of course a chronograph function. It is just very cool. I have a Smartphone, actually two, one of each flavor, Apple and Android.
I have not, nor will I ever pull out my phone when asked what time it is. I pull back my cuff and glance at my wrist. Smartphones are precise but a wristwatch is elegant. Elegance trumps precision. Love your assessment. I only own one chronometer, a Speedmaster, the rest of my small collection are dress watches that exude elegance.
Truthfully, you probably buy a chronograph because you think it is cool. Most people will not use it as a tool. Your cell phone will do a much better job as a tool than a chronograph. Buy a chronograph because you love the way it looks and because you appreciate the work that went into creating it. But remember, repairing it if it stops working will probably be a long and expensive proposition, especially if it has an in house movement.
An in-house column wheel flyback chronograph with a vertical clutch can be very expensive. But All chronographs are great in my eyes and to wear one is a nice feeling… Great article and great photos as always. This is a very informative article for those, like myself, who are interested in how a mechanical watch functions. While I agree that the phones we carry — actually a small computer- would be able to provide better accuracy than a mechanical chronograph, battery powered devices seem to have a way of being discharged just when most needed.
I especially agree about the comment that legible elapsed timing functions are being sacrificed on the altar of fashion. I am currently in the market for a chronograph and have found far too many displays are nearly unusable due to the design of the face and hands.
Regarding night time legibility: When the pupils of my eyes are dilated due dim light, I prefer to glance at a watch rather than the blinding light of a cell phone display. Thank you for this unusual piece summarizing what I should know when buying a watch with a complex dial… This article fills in a lot information on how we can properly make use of the different functions.
I appreciate the work put into this article, what makes this newsletter Special. Thanks again! I had a Casio Edifice which I loved, but in actual use there was so much packed into it, and some of the positions were marked with such tiny letters that to do anything more than read the time I had to put my reading glasses on — which kind of spoilt it. I gave it away in the end…. I wear a watch because I feel undressed without one and I love the way a chronograph looks.
Just as it is more convenient to glance at your wrist to tell the time than it is to take a phone out of your pocket, so it is more convenient to have the chronograph on your wrist when timing something.
I run training classes and I use my watches to time tea and lunch breaks, as well as time assessments for competency certifications.
I have three mechanical chronographs and two analogue quartz chronographs and I wear them all to class, just not all on the same day! I like this article with exception to note 7. It looks like GP or Girard Perregaux movement. Yet you acknowledge crappy company like Tag. Is there a promotion of pushing certain companies through media? Great article, but why does a pop-up ad for the TV show Bar Rescue appear on every page? Very annoying. I love chronographs and have owned two … still have one … but I have never known anyone except an old-time physician to ever use its timing features.
Like so-called Pilots watches … which are not necessary because all aircraft today have clocks. And truth be known I think most people buy chronographs for show and not because they need their features.
As for timing, etc. I am not opposed to watches that offer conveniences such as the Rolex Day-Date I have worn for about 30 years now. I bought it when I was doing a lot of international travel and I would awaken in some strange city and it was nice to know the day I always knew the city.
And, truth be known, I bought it because at the time bling was pretty important in my business and I thought it was blingingly beautiful. Click here to cancel reply. Name required.

It is amusing how often I hear about watch movements that took years to get working. This process can take years. Especially if the desire exists for something unique or complications that are difficult to make. Watch movements are not only expensive to dream up, but it is also expensive to get movements to work and be durable. This requires even more testing. Designing a watch case and bracelet might be easier because it is not a machine, but it is tough — especially when you are working with tolerances that are often non existent.
Nice watches use good materials, bottom line. The best materials require enormous amounts of hand attention or labor. While machines are often employed to make tiny parts, high-end watches employ teams of people to go over each part and delicately finish them and often decorate them. A good timepiece can take between a few days to many months to produce. Even brands with high demand often cannot get enough product to market.
This problem creates increased market demand and a bottleneck of production. Having high demand is a problem people want to have, and is due to the time and complexity involved in making high-end timepieces.
This is related to the concept that watches are expensive due to low production and expensive suppliers, which I discuss more below.
Some high-end brands make their own movements. Many mainstream brands also make their movements. But this is comparing very high-end mechanical ones with much less expensive quartz movements. Making your own movements universally means that movement costs are gonna be comparatively cheaper — but mechanical movements are still expensive to make.
Most brands need to buy watch movements for their watches but they can also modify or decorate them after buying them. Mechanical movements come in dozens and dozens of styles, grades, and levels complication. Imagine how much money more exotic mechanical movements cost? Good movement makers can be awfully choosy. ETA has such a high demand that need to approve your project before selling movements to you.
ETA makes a number of quartz and mechanical movements, and are the most sought after in Switzerland from a volume perspective. ETA will further restrict the movements they sell to brands outside of its parent group to fully made movement. This takes the cost per a movement into a totally different echelon. When you are talking about very high-end exotic mechanical movements, the price per a movement can be in the tens of thousands of dollars.
For this reason high-end watches with complex movements are made more often than not in very limited quantities -because it is too expensive for brands to have these watches sitting around unsold due their cost of production. Or , or 10,
