Re: Just an observation on Chronographs lately
While it isn't as pretty for certain, Damasko makes some great center seconds chronos.
Here is a 60 minute:
Same with a 12 hour totalizer:
Granted these are firmly planted in the tool watch genre and not in the same league as the Glashutte but the price isn't as eye watering either. Modified 7750 design.

^^^ Superb legibility. But that’s a Damascene trademark.

Re: Just an observation on Chronographs lately
^^^ Sorry rkovars and Sinn, but I can’t see past the Glashutte. It even has a display case back that’s quite a looker. I did the math, I only need to save roughly $1 per day until I retire in 35 years to have enough money. But then maybe there will be something new by then… oh well, might as well start saving!

Thanks for bringing this up, you just saved me from being crushed in 35 years. Maybe I’ll just put all my eggs in the lottery basket!

Re: Just an observation on Chronographs lately
For many years my "one watch" was a Seiko 7T34 Flightmaster which had a 30 minute subdial but no hour-count facility. Like you I preferred - and still prefer the ability to time events exceeding 30 minutes so an elapsed hour subdial is pretty essential.Bounce wrote: ↑Sun Aug 15, 2021 10:33 am Just wanted to get other peoples views on chronographs.
I have noticed lately that a lot of manufacturers are only putting 30-60 minute total time subdials on their chronographs, is this all people want?
Normally myself if I am using my chronograph it is to time something a bit longer than 60 mins i.e a long walk/hike of perhaps a flight.
What are other peoples views on this, do you really only need the 30-60 mins on offer?

Re: Just an observation on Chronographs lately
I used to own an Oris Ralph Schumacher that I really liked, but for one thing.
It had a Chrono second hand, 30 minute subdial & an hour subdial, but no normal second hand, such a shame.

The GO Seventies chronograph.
But still reassuringly expensive.

Re: Just an observation on Chronographs lately
I'm with @JTC and @rkovars, the Damasko DC80 range with the central minutes/seconds is highly functional, practical, durable and legible .. especially for those of us with, er, sub-optimal eyesight shall we say! I can imagine it would be handier than squinting at little sub-dials.
