CHRONOGRAPH WATCH

The chronograph watch combines the art of measuring time with precision and the style of a sophisticated accessory. This watch complication, equipped with dedicated pushers on the case, allows you to time intervals while displaying the current time. Our current models (MTGamma) offer a variety of designs, from sporty to elegant, and are suited to the needs of performance enthusiasts and watch aficionados looking for a versatile watch.

The subdials provide accurate interval readings, with one counter dedicated to minutes and another to hours. This sophisticated architecture allows events to be timed for up to 12 consecutive hours.

The precision of the mechanism is particularly useful in the automotive world, where every fraction of a second counts. Professional drivers particularly appreciate the flyback function, which allows instant resetting without stopping the timing.

Current models feature tachymeter scales on their bezels, transforming your timepiece into an average speed calculator. This is a valuable asset for motorsport enthusiasts, who can measure performance up to 300 km/h.

The choice of mechanism determines the user experience of your chronograph. Automatic models appeal with their smooth, continuous movement of the second hand, a hallmark of traditional watchmaking expertise. These timepieces require regular wear to maintain their optimal power reserve.

Quartz chronographs are remarkably accurate, with a minimal monthly deviation of a few seconds. Their battery provides several years of autonomy without intervention, a practical advantage for occasional use.

Your budget will also influence your decision: an automatic chronograph represents a more significant investment, justified by its mechanical complexity and heritage value. The quartz version offers an affordable alternative without compromising on measurement reliability.

Our sports chronograph watches stand out for their reinforced construction. An ultra-resistant sapphire crystal protects the dial, while the steel or titanium case can withstand even the most violent shocks. These watches can withstand extreme conditions without flinching thanks to their reinforced water resistance up to 200 meters.

Ergonomics are paramount in these models, with oversized pushers that can be operated even when wearing gloves. The rubber or composite strap ensures a perfect fit during exercise while wicking away perspiration.

Athletes particularly appreciate the optimized readability of the dial, even in the heat of the moment. The luminescent hands and contrasting hour markers ensure instant reading of timed events, whether in bright sunlight or in the dark.

The 1960s and 1970s represent the golden age of vintage chronographs. These timepieces tell the story of an era when design met mechanical excellence. These historic pieces fascinate with their patinated dials and perfectly proportioned cases. Our flagship models are no exception, embodying French elegance.

Enthusiasts particularly appreciate the patinated steel cases, domed plexiglass crystals, and warm-toned dials that characterize this unique period in watchmaking.

The chronograph is quick to learn thanks to its intuitive controls. The upper push button starts and stops the timer with a single click, while the lower button resets the counters.

To measure an intermediate time during a car race, press the upper push button at the start, then again at the finish. The large central hand will show the elapsed seconds precisely, while the subdials record the minutes and hours.

A practical tip: wait until the seconds hand reaches 12 o'clock before starting your timing. This technique ensures a more accurate reading of the measured time, which is particularly useful during sports competitions.
