About this watch

           One Of The Best Looking

           Chronographs One Can Buy.

For those who don’t know a (Doppel) chronograph means double in german. Heres how it works. When you engage the chrono function the centre sweep seconds starts moving. The centre hand is overlaid by a second hand that moves in unison. In order to time a second event the user presses the pusher on the left hand side which stops the overlaid sweep seconds hand, thereby displaying elapsed time instantly while the main seconds continues to run until stopped. Pressing the left side pusher again will caused the stopped hand to catch up with the running hand. This is why in some cases manufacturers refer to these sorts of chronographs as “ratrappante” which is the french word for recapture. This piece is one of the nicest examples we’ve ever seen. It has a unique 44mm case shape which is a tad longer and thicker than a standerd flieger chronographs. Comes complete with papers.
