The history of chronograph begins in 1821, when the Frenchman Nicolas Mathieu Rieussec invented the first device to measure the running time of horses during races. This device consisted of a clock equipped with a pen which, once activated, made a mark on a rotating disk, thus allowing the time taken by each horse to cover a given distance to be recorded.
During the Second World War, the chronograph became an essential tool for military pilots, who used it to calculate flight time and the duration of missions. Later, the chronograph it also became a fashion accessory, much appreciated for its precision and functionality.
Today, the chronograph comes in many shapes and sizes, with increasingly advanced and sophisticated features. It is still highly appreciated by watch enthusiasts, but also by those looking for an elegant and functional accessory for their wrist.
How the Citizen chronograph works
Il chronograph is a very useful tool for measure time accurately and in detail. The chronograph second hand is positioned normally at the 12 o'clock position, making it easy to read and operate.
Once you start measuring, the chronograph allows and allows you to measure up to 60 minutes in 1 second units. After 60 minutes have elapsed, each chronograph hand automatically stops at the 12:00 position. This automatic feature is very useful for those who need to keep track of time accurately, but don't want to have to check their watch constantly and assiduously.
To start timingjust press the button (B). The chronograph is repeatedly started and stopped by pressing button (B). To reset the chronograph to 0 seconds, simply press button (A). This function is very useful for starting a new timing session.
However, it is important to point out and note that do not subject the chronograph to strong shocks while timing is in progress. Subjecting the watch to a strong impact during time measurement or when the chronograph has stopped automatically after 60 minutes has elapsed can cause the chronograph minute hand to slip out of position. If this happens, button (A) can be pressed to reset it to the 12:00 position before using the chronograph again.
Conclusions
In conclusion, the chronograph is one very useful tool for those who need to keep track of time accurately. However, it is important to use the chronograph correctly and not subject it to strong shocks to avoid damage to the minute hand. With proper and careful use, the chronograph can last a long time and provide accurate timekeeping. In summary, the chronograph is a very useful tool for those who need to measure time accurately.
