What Is a Stopwatch?

A stopwatch, commonly integrated as a chronograph function, allows the wearer to measure elapsed time independently of the watch’s main timekeeping mechanism. This feature is activated and controlled through pushers located on the side of the case.

How Does It Operate?

Chronographs use a series of levers and cams to control the stopwatch function. Pressing the start/stop pusher engages the chronograph seconds hand, while the reset pusher returns the hand to its starting position. Some advanced models feature flyback or split-second functions, adding layers of utility for professional applications.

Why Is It Valuable?

The stopwatch function is essential in fields requiring precise time measurement, such as aviation, motorsports, and athletics. Its versatility has made it a hallmark of functional yet stylish timepieces, appealing to both professionals and enthusiasts.
