To say chronographs are popular with watch fans is akin to hinting that the British have a mild fondness for a cup of tea. Typically, the chronograph recipe is as reliable and straightforward as a morning brew. You may tweak the parameters a touch – milk? Sugar? Hand-winding or manual? Two subdials or three? – but the end result is comfortingly familiar. However, and here we admit that the tea metaphor is beginning to run out of steam, the chronograph is also a platform for great aesthetic and mechanical experimentation. We shine a light on five chronographs that are infused with a maverick spirit. We’re confident that at least one of them will be your cup of tea.
