Movado Makes Chronographs?

Yes, the famous Museum watch maker also creates some incredible chronographs. They, along with many other manufacturers, produce some spectacular chronographic timepieces. As with any chronograph, there are some essential elements, which go into making these instruments. If you are in the market for one, you will want to familiarize yourself with some of the important terms and descriptions, before you set out, on your shopping trip. Here we go:1. Tachymeter; this is a special sale, which is printed on the outer side of a chronograph.



It is used to calculate an average speed traveled in a measured distance. This feature will be seen in chronographs, which are used in auto racing, to measure lap time.2. Telemeter; this printed scale is also located on the outside of the chronograph. It is used to determine the distance of an object from the wearer of the watch. This is accomplished by measuring just how long it takes a sound to travel the same distance.3. A 12 hour register; this is a subdial on a chronograph, which measures periods of time up to 12 or 24 hours.



4. A 30 minute register; a chronographic subdial, which times periods up to 30 minutes.A chronograph may be presented in either a classic pusher design or a symmetrical dial layout. The classic pusher offers push buttons on either side of the crown, which start, stop, and reset the timer. The symmetrical is the most popular design, because it is the most aesthetically pleasing and the easiest to read.
