Why Monopusher Chronographs Are Primitive & A Brief History Of The Chronograph Watch Complication
"Not just a chronograph, Ariel, but a monopusher chronograph!" I've heard phrases such as this over the years in the context of watch brands showing me their new single pusher (monopusher) chronograph watches, and I've never felt comfortable hearing how we should be impressed by one- versus two-pusher chronographs. Why is it, exactly, that brands feel the need to lie to us about how monopusher chronograph performance compares to the more modern two-pusher chronograph complication?I don't really know the answer to that question. Perhaps some of the people who are telling me this information don't themselves understand that monopusher chronographs are an earlier, more primative form of chronograph compared to a two-pusher chronograph system. It is also possible that because so many chronographs today rely on the popular two-pusher system, they feel it is worth noting their exception.Breitling first monopusher chronograph wrist watch from 1915.All of this got me thinking about when the tw

My Omega trio
I am looking for input from other Omega Seamaster/Speedmaster owners.My current collection consists of a Seamaster Planet Ocean chronograph, a Speedmaster 1957 Broad Arrow and a Seamaster Planet Ocean XL.I am thinking of selling one of the Planet Oceans. Any suggestions of what I should replace it with? Thanks in advance for your suggestions and comments.

Is there a panerai alternative?
I was just looking around for a watch which was abit casual, yet still has that it factor (history, quality or awesome design? I have no idea how to describe the it which makes a Pam what it is). I settled on a panerai radiomir, due to its slightly dressier styling than the luminor and slimmer profile. Either a 380, 337 or a 512 are models which I would consider. But I want to mix it up abit and compare other watches in that price range which might be an alternative to the radiomir and I've come up lacking.... A couple of brands which I've looked at: 1. bell & Ross (their square cases seem bulky and the fact that the screws done line up would drive me mad)2. margarette (yes. They are much more affordable and I've owned one before... But it just didn't do much for me). So my question is, have you had a serious alternative before when you were considering getting a panerai? And why?
