Excellent primer. I don't personally get enough joy or utility from a chronograph to justify the increase in fragility, cost, thickness, and service complexity but I appreciate the background info and candid assessment of why these watches have their fans.
By watching Teddys videos along with some others religiously over the course of a year and a half, I’ve educated myself. By doing so, I didn’t waste money on trendy or fad watches like a lot of people do while starting this journey. I started with a Seiko 5 and have grown to many more watches. Thanks Teddy!!!
If I had to choose a single Chronograph to own, it would be my vintage Sinn 156 Military Chronograph with a Lemania 5100 calibre. My father gave it to me a few years ago and I wore it almost everyday for years. He is in the Bundeswehr (the german military) and used it as a legitimate timer for his job as a artillery officer. It's 30 years old and saw real use, both in normal training, but also in actual missions, as it was with him in the Kosovo-conflict. It's my favorite watch and I will always cherish it.
When the power is out, mechanical and manual devices are what we fall back on. Astronauts have them for this reason so do pilots and seagoing navigators.
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new. You're the first person I followed when I started really developing a passion for watches and you're always the first person I view when I get notifications on my phone. Keep up the great work.
I got an Omega Speedmaster Racing (44.25mm) with the silver dial with orange accents and brown leather band this last week and I absolutely love it. Having the display case base is great, and the 9900 caliber movement from them is pretty amazing. Thanks for all of your great videos - I watch almost daily!!
I've just acquired a Glashütte Original Seventies Chronograph Panorama Date, and I'd choose no other chronograph watch! Many people won't know this model or care for the brand. It's a steel sports watch with a flyback chronograph in a bi-compax configuration and an integrated bracelet that can be swapped out for a leather or rubber strap, and a discrete power reserve indicator. I think GO's panorama date window is a rare example of a properly executed date complication that isn't just an afterthought in the form of a tiny window at the 3 or 4 o'clock positions. Thanks for making me feel a bit better about this watch's 14.1mm case thickness!
This was so informative. Thank you. I only have one chronograph watch. The Omega Speedmaster, caliber 1861 with hesalite crystal. To me this is "The" chronograph watch.
My first chronograph was an Accurist quartz reverse panda dating from about 1990. I was given it as a birthday present for my 15th birthday, and amazingly it's still working fine! The abuse it suffered was beyond what most watches could cope with, as for a few years I was working as an outdoor activity instructor, teching rock climbing, and taking groups on walks up a river gorge, constantly wet and getting bashed against rocks, it's been very lucky to survive! Nowadays I've got a Doxa Sub 200 C-Graph if I need a chrono, but it's not a watch I use often.
Every watch shown is a beautiful work of art that is with you all day long. Your videos are fascinating. Thank you. For me a watch is very practical. Pulling a cell phone out of my pocket is inconvenient and in meetings, rude. I also use my chronograph to help me stay focused by inconspicuously reminding me of time spent on each task or meeting. And even in the lower price categories that I can afford, it's an attractive accessory for both formal & casual outfits. And for those who have more disposable income, it's also a personal and portable art collection.
Watching your videos for the past week. I’ve been a fan for years of chronographs. I’ve only had two watches my adult life, both are chronographs, one was a gift from years ago, an Invicta Bolt(I can feel someone’s ire 😂 now) and my second is a watch I got as a late Christmas gift for me this week, a Bulova Icon Precisionist.
Thanks for this video. My Omega Seamaster is also a Chrono (1999 / 2000). But my favorite Chrono is the cheapest. Timex 1854 Flyback. It’s my Friday and Saturday watch. Years ago while in Asia, I fell in love with a rubber band with clasp..it didnt quite fit. The attendant in the kiosk grabbed her magnifier and started carving away rubber until it fit perfectly. All Black (watch and band) with the tan dial markings. And EVERY Chrono function is in about a 150 degree circular shape, rather than the normal, much smaller 360 degree types. I don’t know why I love this watch so much. But I do enjoy wearing it for over 8 or 9 years now. EVERY Friday and Saturday. Thanks for the hard work man….we appreciate it.
Teddy you are definitely the king when it comes to watch reviewers. The information you provide and the quality of production is by far the best!!!!! I have been following you for a few years now and love looking back at your earlier productions to see how you have evolved.
Just wanna shoutout my grail watch - the JLC Reverso Gran Sport retrograde chronograph. JLC said it was more difficult to develop than their Reverso tourbillon. Absolutely amazing engineering and development.
As far as a chronograph for its chronographic function, then the Zenith El Primero 21 has to be my number one. However, if this was a giveaway "Choose your favourite chronograph" question, I would probably go for an A Lange & Sonne Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon! Thanks for the continuing run of interesting videos. Whenever TH-cam tells me that you've posted I seem to be able to find twenty minutes to stop whatever I am doing and watch right away!
I loved this video, and your videos on Vostoks and the Seagull 1963 watch!! This one in particular I'm going to have to save and watch over and over again. Just a beautiful presentation on all the chronograph information a new watch enthusiast's heart desires!
Thank you for uploading this. TIL what Chronographs are for. I only like them because of aesthetics and never really bothered what they are for before.
I researched chronographs for a few months and recently bought the Longines Master collection L2.629.4.78.3. Stunning elegance of the dial with two subdials at 3 and 9, thin hands made of blue heated steel, inside a 40 mm case, and a brown alligator strap. The classic, refined and somewhat simplistic look of this watch makes me think I can hold on to it for many more years than other chronos with bolder design choices or busier features.
I respect and admire the whole craftsmanship behind these amazing mechanical timing piece. I would love to have the money and get one of those wee time machine. But still love my Swatch Sprinkled Water Chrono. Simple, cheap,... but I like it. Great video!
I have a Breitling Chrono. Superocean Heritage. Teddy is going to blow up in popularity. You can see his passion for this art which is why I'll buy next time from his store.
I got a Daytona Panda a few years ago after waiting some time, and honestly, that's all the chronograph I will ever need. It is very thin by current standards, and is incredibly accurate. Yes expensive too, but it is a time piece that my son can inherit and can think of me when I am long gone.
Thank you Teddy for this very informative video on mechanical chronographs. I've only ever owned one chronograph, and it was a quartz model. I appreciate all the detail you discuss, and there was a lot discussed in the short 19 minutes here. I'm sure you could have spent hours on this topic. Being still relatively new to horology, my most desired chronograph to add to my collection is the Zenith El Primero Ref 032040400/69C494. Looking forward to you next video.
A chronograph I particularly like, from a brand I don't think I've seen you mention, is the Bremont ALT1-C in polished white. It's just one of those I fell in love with. Thanks for this interesting content, Teddy.
Wow this is excellent learning material, I let my wife see this and she can actually understand it easily, looking forward to future explanation videos like this.
Recently looked at a new speedmaster. Beautiful and iconic. Then I looked at a zenith defy 21 skeleton chrono. Holy crap. For the money, I don't know what could beat it.
Well explain, very educational. My current love chronograph Michael Schumacher 7 time world champion. The most beautiful chronograph in my opinion, Lange Datograph.
A very well put together explanation of the mechanical chronograph Teddy, arguably one of the best that simply describes the cam v column wheel and lateral v vertical clutch options. I'll only comment on chronographs that I have seen in the flesh at the AD or than I own. It's a tie really depending on form or function. Both are Omega Seamaster chronographs, the current wavy ceramic dial with two sub dials and the previous three sub dial versions based on the heavily modified Valjoux 7753 movement. For form the current version takes the win, the minute and hour chrono dials are integrated into a single dial that looks like a clock and very easy to read at a glance to get a rough view of elapsed time however reading the exact minute is less easy given it has twice the graduations than a thirty minute counter. That ceramic dial is also fantastic to look at. The old version wins for function easily, all chrono hands are red, all hands on the watch carry lume and it's for my eyes anyway easier to read the elapsed minutes. I guess this illustrates just how a new model can move forwards and backwards at the same time. As yet I still don't have a Speedmaster but that might take an overall win.
I just bought a omega speedmaster sandwich with the new movement and new bracelet. I’m in love! I’m a Rolex fan boy but I ain’t paying 35k for a Daytona. Love your channel
Had a couple, the Chinese pilot one & a Hamilton x wind (7750). Very cool, but never used the chronograph function ( about as useful as the rotating bezel on a diver for me) & tho I loved the build quality and accuracy of the Hamilton I sold it quickly before it needed an expensive service... Love them aesthetically but ultimately expensive to run & useless for me. Pick one? Gotta be a Speedmaster, the ultimate iconic timepiece. Good episode, thanks Teddy 👍🏻👍🏻
a $7,000 b01 movement breitling navitimer is way better than the wolex Daytona because 1. less snobbish. 2. not $35,000 for a steel overpriced shitter. 3. more classy!!! also you could buy an audemaurs piguet royal oak and still have at least a couple thousand dollars left 😎👍
Today spotted an all gold Daytona with a green dial on a fellow elevator rider. Honestly, there was nothing either timeless or beautiful about it. Ugly, it was! Especially in yellow gold. I mean throughout the centuries royals always combined cold with blue. I dont which peasant started this green trend but it certainly ruins a bunch of beautiful watches for me!
Great video as always Teddy. I've been watching some of your videos where you say at the end that wearing a watch or having certain complications is now mainly for style or fashion or for the enjoyment of having something complicated on our wrist. I would like to add my opinion...while i do understand that we have smartphones for almost everything, nothing beats the convenience of having a chronograph on your wrist. Smartphones are bulky. If I have a phone on one hand, then essentially i can't do many many things i would want to time. A bike ride for example. The sheer convenience of having a timing machine on your wrist is still unmatched in my opinion ..for the cases where you need both your hands free and ultra precision is not important. Same i would say for timers also. I greatly value the watch on my wrist..not only as a fashion statement..but as a genuine tool which would make my life difficult if i didn't have it
My ultimate dream chronograph is A. Lange and Söhne Triple Split😍, but in reality I have Breitling Navitimer B01. Right now I work in Nvidia as a data scientist👨💻. I made a challenge for me to own the triple split in the next five year. Eagerly waiting😊 for the calender guide.
Great, informative vid, Thx! How about a video featuring the best telemeter chronos? I just learned about Monchard’s mechaquartz telemeter today and wow. Tissot telemeter? Junghans? Something more affordable with quartz movement?
Great video and the clearest explanation I've seen of the complexities of chronographs. Well done. If I had to choose only one chronograph, it would be a Rolex Daytona.
Great Video Teddy! 🤙
Y’all should collab
This video is Dog's Bollocks!
nicoooooo and teddyyyy collab
One hundred percent, pure, fuc***g, class mate!!
Nico, what are your thoughts on Hublot?
Above all Teddy, I respect and appreciate your honesty about our hobby.
Thank you, Steve. Gotta keep it real.
Excellent primer. I don't personally get enough joy or utility from a chronograph to justify the increase in fragility, cost, thickness, and service complexity but I appreciate the background info and candid assessment of why these watches have their fans.
By watching Teddys videos along with some others religiously over the course of a year and a half, I’ve educated myself. By doing so, I didn’t waste money on trendy or fad watches like a lot of people do while starting this journey. I started with a Seiko 5 and have grown to many more watches. Thanks Teddy!!!
I have done exactly the same as you. So happy I researched and learnt about watches and didn't waste money. Started the the trusty SNK807
Same! Seiko 5! Perfect way to scratch that first mechanical watch itch. While you learn more
hey, mine too!
Honestly watched these videos and went with what I WANTED, a Bulova Icon Precisionist Chronograph watch.
If I had to choose a single Chronograph to own, it would be my vintage Sinn 156 Military Chronograph with a Lemania 5100 calibre. My father gave it to me a few years ago and I wore it almost everyday for years. He is in the Bundeswehr (the german military) and used it as a legitimate timer for his job as a artillery officer. It's 30 years old and saw real use, both in normal training, but also in actual missions, as it was with him in the Kosovo-conflict. It's my favorite watch and I will always cherish it.
i would choose the bulova 97b122
I would choose my Croton from the 70s, with the Lemania 1340 in which the 5100 caliber Is based on!
Love this comment - great story, thanks for sharing 💪🏼♥️
Cool story bro, this is very helpful in helping me decide on my next chronograph
Man, that's some history. KEEP it and give it on to someone in your family :)
When the power is out, mechanical and manual devices are what we fall back on. Astronauts have them for this reason so do pilots and seagoing navigators.
I own the mentioned Breitling Rattrapante and am totally in love with this piece of art.
Thank you. As a newbie, I have my first chronograph (Ball train master II cannonball) as of this month so your videos a a great learning tool for me.
Happy to help 🙌🏻
Cool watch!

Timing making my pour over with a chronograph - best way of combining my love of coffee with my love of watches 😀

It’s amazing how the max bill Junghans can have some much going on yet look so minimal with clean lines. Amazing timepiece.
Great overview!! 👍 My favourite complication by far (although all of mine are quartz!)
Best watch content on TH-cam. Always well thought out and well presented.
Teddy is a good teacher; covering practical applications and historical references too.
Really appreciate the work that you do Teddy. Your passion and enthusiasm makes the videos so much more fun to watch!
The most complete video on chronographs by anyone. Well done Teddy 👍

This is one of the best videos that you published this year. Thanks, I learned a lot :)
Just wanna shoutout my grail watch - the JLC Reverso Gran Sport retrograde chronograph. JLC said it was more difficult to develop than their Reverso tourbillon. Absolutely amazing engineering and development.
You sir have great taste. Get them quickly, whilst they're still affordable.
Absolutely mind blowing…
@@thetruthhurts7500 Then I'll wear a women's watch lol
I love them. Waiting on a specific watch to come back into stock and the wait is killing me.

Great Video! Pulsometers are my new favorite complication/scale. They are so much more useful than a tachometer! More watches should have pulsometers!
A superb video. I just knew that chronographs just looks cool, but not for what it functions and how. A great explanation...
Another great video. I would 100% go for the Omega Speedmaster with the Navy dial and Red second hand
I received my Yema Panda Rallygraf today, gorgeous watch! Next up is the Hanhart 417ES! Chronographs are just “simply” awesome.
A chronograph I particularly like, from a brand I don't think I've seen you mention, is the Bremont ALT1-C in polished white. It's just one of those I fell in love with. Thanks for this interesting content, Teddy.
New fan and dont really have the best watch collection but love learning about them.
Really enjoying your channel and learning a lot. Looking forward to buying from your site once I figure out where I want to start, lol.
Wow this is excellent learning material, I let my wife see this and she can actually understand it easily, looking forward to future explanation videos like this.
Teddy is a walking watch encyclopedia. Love the video! Breitling SUPER CHRONOMAT B01 44 / Blue would be my pick.
Good and honest explanation.
It’s like I’m in the Matrix, I was looking for a Chronograph watch and then you come with this video
I never knew what a tachometer was used for, thanks Teddy!!!
Excellent video.....thanks so much for making things clear...even if I'm going g to have to watch it several times to take it all in.
Recently looked at a new speedmaster. Beautiful and iconic. Then I looked at a zenith defy 21 skeleton chrono. Holy crap. For the money, I don't know what could beat it.
Well explain, very educational. My current love chronograph Michael Schumacher 7 time world champion. The most beautiful chronograph in my opinion, Lange Datograph.

My two favorites remain the Speedmaster and Carrera.
For sure zénith el primero or vintage Daytona with the je zenith caliber !!!
Many tanks Teddy I learned a lot of things again because of you

Thank you for this!
I love my Tag Heuer Carrera enjoyed it so much when I'm driving with my EVO 4 Rally Car. Thanks Teddy for the info 👍
As always great content and info, thank you.

I would go with the Daytona. It's so timeless and beautiful.
Sarcastic as your comment may be, you are not wrong. Very refined case.
a $7,000 b01 movement breitling navitimer is way better than the wolex Daytona because 1. less snobbish. 2. not $35,000 for a steel overpriced shitter. 3. more classy!!! also you could buy an audemaurs piguet royal oak and still have at least a couple thousand dollars left 😎👍

I believe A Lange's double split and triple split chronograph would be the pinnacle of all chronographs. Amazing invention.
Stellar video, I like the Certina
I first watch is a Junghas Form C chronograph. Can wait for it to arrive from your website I’ve been staring at it for months lol
Would love a video like this on other complications such as GMT, Perpetual Calendar and Moon Phase. Thanks as always for the phenomenal content.
Great, informative vid, Thx! How about a video featuring the best telemeter chronos? I just learned about Monchard’s mechaquartz telemeter today and wow. Tissot telemeter? Junghans? Something more affordable with quartz movement?

Great video and the clearest explanation I've seen of the complexities of chronographs. Well done. If I had to choose only one chronograph, it would be a Rolex Daytona.
Very informative video. Well Done.
