Introduction to Chronographs

Chronograph comes from the Greek words “chronos” and “graph” which stand for “time” and “writing”. In a plain explanation, a chronograph is a timepiece or watch with both timekeeping and stopwatch functions. The form of the timepiece itself can be a pocket watch or a wrist watch, not limiting the chance for other type of watch, though.

Beside the functionality of normal timekeeping, chronographs also provide the functionality to measure time in more specific measurements. In this modern time, there are two types of chronographs:

• Digital chronographs
  Use a digital display for both timekeeping and stopwatch functions, either with separate displays or by switching modes on a single display.
• Analog-digital chronographs
  Consisted of  a standard analog watch with permanent center seconds and a separate digital display that usually operates independently of the analog section. A fallback will reset to zero and then continue to run when the reset button is pushed while the stopwatch is running. In contrast, most mechanical chronographs will reset to fifty only when the stopwatch is stopped.

Back in 1897 the Original Swiss Army Knife was created in the small village of Ibach, Switzerland. Since that time, Victorinox has become well-known in more than 100 countries for precision, quality, functionality and versatility. This century old heritage has been extended to Swiss Army Watches, which reflect the ingenious design and outstanding durability Victorinox has come to stand for over the years. Uncompromising craftsmanship makes these watches worthy to carry the “cross and shield” emblem that symbolizes the legend of Victorinox and the Swiss Army Brand. — (taken from Lewis Jewelers)
