CHRONOGRAPH WATCH

The chronograph watch combines the art of precise time measurement with the style of a sophisticated accessory. This watch complication, equipped with dedicated pushers on the case, allows for timing intervals while simultaneously displaying the current time. Our current (MTGamma) models offer varied designs, from sporty to elegant, and cater to the needs of performance enthusiasts as well as watch lovers seeking a versatile timepiece.

The sub-dials provide precise readings of intervals, with one counter dedicated to minutes and another to hours. This sophisticated architecture allows for timing events 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 especially appreciate the flyback function, which allows for instant resetting without stopping the timing.

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

The choice of mechanism determines the user experience of your chronograph. Automatic models captivate with their fluid and continuous sweep of the seconds hand, a signature of traditional watchmaking craftsmanship. These timepieces require regular wear to maintain their optimal power reserve.

Quartz chronographs display remarkable accuracy in their measurements, with a minimal monthly deviation of a few seconds. Their battery provides several years of autonomy without intervention, a practical advantage for occasional use.

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

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

Ergonomics are a priority on these models, with oversized pushers that can be operated even with gloves. The rubber or composite material strap ensures a perfect fit during exertion while wicking away perspiration.

Athletes particularly appreciate the optimized readability of the dial, even in full action. Luminous hands and contrasting indices guarantee instant reading of timed events, whether in bright sunlight or in the dark.

The 60s and 70s represent the golden age of vintage chronographs. These timepieces tell the story of an era where design met mechanical excellence. Historic pieces fascinate with their patinated dials and perfectly proportioned cases. Our flagship models are no exception and embody French elegance.

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

Operating a chronograph is quickly learned thanks to its intuitive controls. The top pusher starts and stops the timing with a single click, while the bottom button resets the counters.

To measure an intermediate time during a car race, press the top pusher at the start, then a second time at the finish. The large central hand will precisely indicate the seconds elapsed, while the auxiliary counters record the minutes and hours.

A practical tip: wait until the second hand reaches twelve o'clock before starting your timing. This technique ensures a more precise reading of the measured time, especially useful during sports competitions.
