Chronograph vs. Chronometer
Its very common to hear someone ask us
"What's the difference between Chronograph and Chronometer? So we
thought it would be a good idea to break it down for all our readers. To
make this easier for everyone, we will break it down into 2 simple
definitions: A chronograph is a watch with a built in stopwatch feature. A chronometer is a very accurate mechanical watch.
A chronograph is a watch that was made with a built-in stopwatch feature- Its
common to have one or more sub-dials or small liquid crystal display
panel to monitor elapsed time. In addition, chronographs have extra
pushers to the crown for the start, stop, and reset functions.
A chronometer is a very accurate mechanical watch- A
chronometer is a very accurate mechanical watch that comes with high
grade movement. The movement on a chronometer is finely adjusted to work
properly in different physical and temperature environments. Also, it
is usually accredited by a watch manufacturer or laboratories including
the Swiss based COSC (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres).
We hope this summary
helps you understand the difference between chronograph and chronometer a
lot better now. For more information pertaining to horology and
