Chronograph Guide
The allure of mechanical chronographs is easy to pin down. ?Tiny little mechanisms, powered by springs, engage and disengage at the press of a button to time events, measure speed, distance or even heart rate. On the surface, the action of a chronograph is simple and often useful. Underneath, the movements that power these functions are very complex and often very beautiful. As with most things that are complex, mechanical chronographs tend to cost more than standard 3-hand watches. And if you are going to spend more, you should know a bit about what is out there. Chances are if you went into your local watch store, any mechanical chronograph under $2,000 would have the Valjoux 7750 movement in it. While ubiquitous, it's not the only thing out there and there are different variations on it.So, we decided to create a guide of affordable mechanical chronographs, with an emphasis on showing different brands and movements, many of which are available on-line only.?1.

I just receive my 5160R from my AD. As I know, most collectors prefer R, but I like both R and J. I think J is very nice too.R1s.jpgR4s.jpgR9s.jpgW6s.jpgW7s.jpgW9s.jpgW11s.jpg
