What is special about a chronograph watch?

1 Answer
What is special about a chronograph watch?
The addition of extra dials called sub-dials is what is special about a chronograph watch. These extra dials allow you to measure time on different scales. For example, a chronograph timepiece may have 30-second, one-hour and 12-hour timers for its sub-dials. Shop a collection of chronograph watches on 1stDibs.
