The chronograph watch combines the art of precise timekeeping with 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 (MTGamma) models offer a variety of designs, from sporty to elegant, and adapt to the needs of performance enthusiasts as well as watch enthusiasts looking for a versatile watch.
The subdials provide precise interval readings, with one counter dedicated to minutes and another to hours. This sophisticated architecture allows for the timing of events 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 for instant reset without stopping the timing.
Current models incorporate tachymeter scales on their bezels, transforming your timepiece into an average speed calculator. A valuable asset for motorsport enthusiasts who can measure performances up to 300 km/h.
The choice of mechanism determines the user experience of your chronograph. Automatic models impress with their smooth, continuous movement of the seconds hand, a hallmark of traditional watchmaking expertise. These timepieces require regular wear to maintain their optimal power reserve.
Quartz chronographs offer remarkable accuracy in their measurements, with a minimal monthly deviation of a few seconds. Their battery provides several years of uninterrupted operation, a practical advantage for occasional use.
Budget also influences your decision: an automatic chronograph represents a more substantial 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 withstands even the most violent shocks. These watches withstand extreme conditions without flinching thanks to their reinforced water resistance up to 200 meters.
Ergonomics are paramount on these models, with oversized pushers that can be operated even with gloves on. The rubber or composite strap ensures a perfect fit during exercise while wicking away perspiration.
Athletes particularly appreciate the dial's optimized readability, even during action. The luminescent hands and contrasting indexes guarantee instant reading of timed times, whether in bright sunlight or in the dark.
The 1960s and 1970s represented the golden age of vintage chronographs . These timepieces tell the story of a time when design met mechanical excellence. Historic pieces fascinate with their patinated dials and perfectly proportioned cases. Our flagship models are no exception and represent French elegance.
Enthusiasts particularly appreciate the patinated steel cases, domed plexiglass lenses and warm-toned dials that characterize this unique period of watchmaking.
Operating a chronograph is easy to learn thanks to its intuitive controls. The upper pusher starts and stops timing with a single click, while the lower button resets the counters.
To measure a split time during a car race, press the top pusher at the start, then a second time at the finish. The large central hand will accurately indicate the elapsed seconds, while the auxiliary counters record the minutes and hours.
A handy 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.
