Word of the Day

Split-seconds Chronograph

A chronograph that is capable of recording two separate events that start at the same time but end at different times. This is achieved by having two perfectly-overlapped chronograph seconds hands which start together when the chronograph is actuated. When the split pusher is actuated, the hidden chronograph seconds hand stops in its place while the top hand continues around the dial. When the second event has ended, the top hand can be stopped via the start/stop pusher and the wearer can determine the elapsed time for both events as well as the time between the two events as long as the difference is within one minute.
