Watch News Center Report: Chronograph in addition to travel time, it can also be used separately record the time something is located in the central axis of the second hand dial, usually stopped at 12 o'clock, when the start timer button after the second hand will start to run, the surface is recorded at different times of the small needle direct drive, used to accumulate the final time "Chronograph" is also written "Chronoscope", originally from the Greek words, from "Chronos" and "Grapho" a combination of two words, which of "Chronos" that time, "Grapho" means a record.
A Brief History of 1720 chronograph about the famous British watchmakers George Graham (1673-1751) produced a timer with a pendulum, which is characterized by skillfully through the control of the pendulum to stop and start, one thing can be recorded separately how much time going on, and the British today known as the Father of the Chronograph.
In 1776, the Swiss Jean Moyse Pouzait (1743-1793) invented a mechanical device with an independent second hand, the principle is the movement that has two sets of pulley system, so independent from the traditional timing of the second hand, minute hands, able to run separately to record a specific time period, due to his invention of the chronograph was later played a role in promoting development, so Jean Moyse Pouzait chronograph has become a pioneer.
In 1822, French watchmakers Nicolas-Mathieu Rieussec (1781-1852) published in Paris, he created the timer, by a series of dots on the surface reflects the time consumed by something, mainly because of second hand consists of two parts, some of which carry the ink, when the timer starts running when the blot fell on the location of the start time, this device is also considered Chronograph molding product. Abraham-Louis Breguet, and Frédérick Louis Fatton also produced some early Chronograph timer.
In the former, based on the Austrian Joseph Thaddeus Winnerl the time created a two-second hand sub-sector (Split-second chronograph), and ordinary chronograph different is that it has recorded two seconds in the time period can also rotation, when one of them stops running when the second hand, the other one continues to rotate to record another time period, but stopped functioning under the control of the second hand can quickly catch up with one another and the synchronization operation. This can record and began the end of two different things, but the time spent. Recorded, said, Louis-Frédéric Perrelet (1781-1854) in 1828, won the "split-seconds chronograph" in the patent.
In 1844, the Swiss Adolphe Nicole development known as the "Heart-piece" of the body, the heart-shaped parts similar to the time the second hand return to zero, Adolphe Nicole in the 1862 World Exposition held in London on display with this kinds of functions time pocket watch. Since then, the modern sense, with start, stop and zero feature chronograph formed. Note, however, at the time of start, stop and zero functions are controlled by a button or device co-complete. 1910, Moeris watch factory code watch will be the first to watch the movement assembly. Until 1913, Omega began manufacturing functions with chronograph watch.
China's first chronograph watch the Kingdom began to develop in the assembly of the watch in the Chronograph movement, the Tianjin Watch Factory (Tianjin Seagull Watch Group, the predecessor company) are 60 years of the 20th century quietly started making the first batch of Chronograph . April 1961, when a light under the mandate of Ministry of trial project to use exclusively for the Chinese Air Force Chronograph, mission code-named "304", to September 1961 watch 7 sample test equipment. May 1962, according to Air Force headquarters at the request of trial production, to December 1963, test equipment products watch 32. January 1964, modify the drawings, adjust the third after the trial process, to the October 1965 trial installation of the finished sheet 100. To October 1965, "304" - China's first generation air watch testing views the introduction, passed away when the accuracy test, the high and low temperature, vibration, magnetic, moisture, speed needle dial the school, the article dial needle starting quality and other important indicators of the impact testing.
December 1965, led by the First Ministry of Light Industry, including the then 08 units, the Air Force Command, Naval Air Command, the naval equipment orders the Department of the Ministry of Supervision, Sea Air Division, 21 units of the Department a total of 38 leaders , the identification of expert organizations, stereotypes production. May 1966, Tianjin watch factory production program established the same year by the end of October, 1400 the formal assembly of finished products, sent to the Chinese Air Force line. From now stored in "Seagull Watch" The first time the company code watch view, then dial 3-point scale products in the 30-minute orientation with a cumulative function, small seconds at 9 o'clock position scale, while the second hand is located in the central axis of the time red, this watch is assembled on the bar manual mechanical movement. Can be said that China's first chronograph in terms of manufacturing processes, or features, etc., are all worthy of recognition, and the history of the development in China and the world watches, clocks can be written the history of an important, no wonder they has long been a collector of watches racing to find the object.
In the first group of chronograph was launched exactly 40 years when the Seagulls watch group released in the year, in particular 100 (Limited Edition) rose gold chronograph hollow, for the new generation of watch fans, no doubt to make up can not have the first batch of the chronograph's shortcomings; and versatile mechanical watch for beginners, the same sale chronograph stainless steel hollow section, but also a complex function of cost-effective watch.
The secret code watch movement Seagull chronograph turn back, we can see the movement to re-create the T19, this classic chronograph movement derived from the first group of design chronograph movement is in November 2004 to resume production. After less than a year, Seagull Watch Group Company launched a hollow version of the movement, the movement due to the different color of the hollow material is assembled in a different case, so the formation of a coordination in the visual aesthetic effect. When you press the bearings in the 2-point scale button, the central length of the second hand will start running, stop the clock if necessary, you need to click this button; stop the clock later, when pressed in the 4:00 scale directional button, the central long 12 second hand will indicate the scale, called the zero position. So forth, can be time for the different events.
Movement in the T19, the most critical parts have to be cylindrical wheel, and it is divided into upper and lower parts, upper half is a triangular cylindrical protrusion, each protrusion forming a gap between; the lower half is a circle Helical, used to bite each other with the pawl. Cylindrical wheel is a blue steel screws fixed to the splint, when the operation code watch function, the start bar and other pawl will toggle on the helical wheel column, which not only led the cylindrical protrusion produces rotation, and the control rods of different functions located in different cylindrical wheel gap, thus forming a start, stop and zero feature. Today, the use of cylindrical wheel chronograph movement is considered a symbol of premium brands. For example: Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, Breguet, Jaeger LeCoultre, Girard Perregaux and the other nations still producing plants with a columnar watch round chronograph.
