My first proper watch was the tissot. Collection going strong. I hope to add a full pm Daytona one day. Chrono fans pls share your collection.

Nice

Generally, no. I think they are often cluttered and unbalanced. The Speedmaster is an exception

Great collection.
The chrono is the best complication and most useful. Well done, thanks for sharing mate.

I am curious. Is it the look, the function(s) or both?

I am a movement super nerd so complex movements interest me more than more simple workhorse movements.

4130 is not that complex of a movement though, actually pretty basic for a modern automatic chronograph.

Count me in!, I love chronograph watches. I like them all but prefer automatic movements mainly. Have several from Omega, Breitling, Longines and quite a few others. Except the Daytona. Don't really care much for them. I like additional complications. Date, day, moon phase, year, split seconds etc.

If you mean “not that complex” in that it has 20% fewer parts than the 4030 (zenith based movement) — only 201 parts (fewer parts is better), 44 jewels, vertical clutch, column wheel, highly antimagnetic, is easily serviceable (again, an engineering feat in design and execution), yet still is robust/incredibly reliable AND relatively thin vs competing movements … then I guess it’s “not that complex.”

Reality is, the 4130 is truly one of the greatest chronograph movements EVER created.

I love my Daytona and Speedmaster. The 4130 and 1831 have to be two of the best Chrono movements of all time. I’ve also been very impressed with the quality of the new Tudor Black Bay Chrono movements. I think that reference is significantly underpriced for the value that you receive

P.S Great collection

I love the Tudor but my wrist can’t take it :(

I had a chance to try the S&G recently and was also impressed with the quality. The crowns screwed down very smoothly. A bit big for my wrist but the S&G is my favorite one in the BB line up.

[Krash]

Yes, I only have one (Speedmaster), but I can easily think of a half dozen chronographs that I’d like to have.

Thanks and love your collection too.

@Benzsiam,
Once you've had the weight of a PM Daytona on your wrist, how do you go back to wearing the other ones?

I wear all my timepieces in rotation, I don't feel that much difference, I get used to it.

[brandrea]

I’ve never had a use for the chrono complication, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate them.

I never owned one primarily because I find them a bit harder to read to tell time. YMMV

[blufinz52]

Love chronos. Wish I could afford to add a Daytona...maybe someday.

[alphadweller]

I used to like chronos, had a few but sold them all eventually. First reason is I don't really have any use for the complication, I mean I could find a use but it's not really a necessity. This is not a deal breaker though.

My latest chrono was a Speedy Racing co-ax master chronometer, great piece of kit, most accurate watch I've ever had, really a terrific piece. I sold it because I quit wearing it, I found the legibility at a glance not great and therein lies my second problem with chronos, I don't find them very legible, not only the chrono subdials themselves, but the actual time. The subdials tend to get in the way of the hour and minutes hands.

I really prefer a three hander to give me the time at the flick of the wrist without having to squint between subdials and other complications.

Have a couple but can’t stretch to a Daytona unless I get “the call", still these will do for now.

That Tudor Chrono is gorgeous

[Mike I]

Nice collection. However, Daytona: no date.

[bp1000]

Yes
Chronos are mainly what I collect

Been this way for over 20 years

My only chrono has been a Speedy which I love and find easy to read even with older eyes. Bought my second chrono yesterday, so new it hasn’t even made it into my signature yet, a Hanhart 417 ES with two sub-dials which I am thrilled with. I have had a long-standing interest in a Sinn 3006 hunters watch but have been hesitant pull the trigger without handling it because I understand it is tall. I have zero interest in a Daytona as I find it hard to read however I could force myself to suffer with a platona if one fell from the sky and landed gently on a pillow at my feet.

I love them too. My first chrono was a Tissot heritage 1948, and I've got some Russian chronographs as well. I hope to obtain one of the new Speedmasters this year, although I'm undecided on whether to go with the hesalite crystal or the sapphire with display caseback. Daytona will have to wait -- I want a GMT before that.
