A Detailed Survey Of The Split Second Chronograph

Post by tempusmaximus »

In the world of horological complications , there is some debate on which one is the most prestigious . Some claim its the minute repeater , while others swear on the tourbillon . But within the family of chronographs , there is little contention that the most complicated of them all is the split - seconds or Rattrapante (French - rattraper - act of recovery , recapturing )
