Chronograph for men: What are frequently asked questions?
Here we provide you with answers to some of the most frequently asked questions on the subject of "men's chronographs".
What is a chronograph?
A chronograph is generally a wristwatch with a stopwatch function. In addition to the time display, chronographs usually have additional dials (known as totalisers) and pushers that can be used to measure time intervals. The pushers and small dials give men's chronographs their characteristic look.
How does a tachymeter work in a chronograph?
A tachymeter is a scale on the bezel of a chronograph that can be used to calculate speed. The scale is divided into kilometres per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph).
This is how the tachymeter measurement works:
- Start the chronograph when you pass a certain point.
- Stop the chronograph when you reach the next point.
- Read off the speed on the tachymeter scale that corresponds to the time it took you to cover the distance.
