YOGYAKARTA - An interesting feature in the watch. However, not all watches are equipped with this feature. For fans of the watch, the term chronograph may be familiar. However, there are still many who do not know the chronograph watch and its function.
Many of the latest watch products use the chronograph feature. Watches equipped with this feature do look cooler, more luxurious, and sporty. This watch is designed with complicated design details, but this is part of the appeal.
Many people like chronograph watches because of their stylish appearance and interesting features. For those of you who are looking for a reference watch, it is necessary to get to know the chronograph watch and a number of its advantages.
This feature is a feature or system embedded in the watch. This feature serves in recording or measuring the amount of time that has passed. The term chronograph is taken from the ancient Greek word chronos which means time and graph means a recording tool.
So chronograph watches include watches that provide recording features or time measurements. You could say that the term chronograph is the same as the name stopwatch. So watches that have a chronograph feature can run a function like a stopwatch.
As mentioned above, the chronograph watch has a stopwatch-like function. The chronoglop feature is provided to allow records of times that have passed. Just like the use of stopwatches, users can temporarily stop counting times and resume them again without having to reset to early times.
The concept of chronograph watch was first initiated by watchmaker named Louis Moenet in 1816. He created the first chronograph in the form of a pocket clock. Then the term "chronograph" was adopted by a French watchmaker named Nicolas Rieussec in 1921.
Nicolas Rieussec uses the term chronograph to mention the timekeeper he created, which is in the form of a table clock. At that time, chronographs were widely used to record the duration of time in the horse racing race.
The use of chronograph in watches began in 1813 with the presence of a Longines monopusher watch. Then in 1915, Breitling developed a chronograph watch with two pushers. Both types of hours use a manual winding chronograph machine.
In 1969, Switzerland was held the world's first automatic chronograph engine development race involving Zenith and thetumatic (Project99) consortium consisting of the Heuer, Buren, Dubois Dépraz, and Breitling brands.
As the brands compete to create and showcase the world's first prototype automatic chronograph watch engine, Japanese brand Seiko quietly released an automatic chronograph watch via Speedtimer 6139. History records that the first automatic chronograph watch released to the market was the Seiko brand.
The shape or appearance of the watch is easy to recognize and distinguish from other types of watches. One of the main characteristics of chronograph clocks is the existence of 2 or 3 subdials, some even have 4 subdies.
One subdial is generally used to show the minutes that have passed (chronograph minutes hand). Other subdies usually display the clock that has passed (chronograph hours hand) when the chronograph function is enabled.
On non-chronograph watches in general, a needle is a long needle on the main dial. However, at chronograph clocks, a long second needle is a chronograph second. When the chronograph is inactive, this needle will remain stationary at number 12 and will only move when the chronograph is enabled via a pusher.
After understanding the chronograph concept, there may be people who are curious about what advantages the clock has with this feature. What are the benefits of having a watch equipped with a chronograph?
There are at least two main advantages of the chronograph clock. From the functional side of the chronograph clock, it is very beneficial for daily activities that require a calculation of the duration of time, such as for athletes, pilots, doctors, soldiers, and other professions.
This watch is also useful even though you don't need it for certain jobs that pay attention to the movement of time as above. The chronograph feature can also be useful in daily activities such as cooking, sports, and so on.
In addition, another advantage of the chronograph clock lies in the design. With some subdies and additional buttons, the details of the chronograph clock become more exclusive and futuristic. Its generally thicker shape also gives the impression of masculine and sporty when used.
