Our Top Chronographs
You
hear this a lot from us but timing really is everything and never more
so than with the good ol' chronograph watch. Whether you like a chrono
for it's complex design and subdial layout or if you actually utilize
the stopwatch and chronograph timing, Watchismo will sell you one that
is truly original and unusual.
Check out some of our top picks below or take some time to stroll our chronograph category at Watchismo here.
Aren't
you tired of the same ol' boring watches you see at the mall or the
jewelry store? That's why we created Watchismo -- we comb the Earth for
only the most unique watches.

On your mark, get set, GO! Some of our favorites are below: |
We
love bullheads and no other brand has just owned the design concept
like CT Scuderia. Combining vintage and modern aesthetics perfectly with
the most stunning leather straps selections.
|
The
MTG -- G-Shock's first foray into the higher end watch market and they
have been moving fast since we introduced them at Watchismo. Not many
left and once they're gone, that's it due to the very limited edition.
|
This
thing is a beast. Yeah, it's got a fully functional chronograph but
that's just the beginning. Look around, that's two, no that's three
entirely other time zones and two of them are jump hour discs! Supercool
and the blue and brown is a perfect combo.

The
Nixon Magnacon, part of the Elite collection from Nixon is produced in
very low numbers and available at very few dealers. We're lucky to have a
great relationship with Nixon and can now offer many of the Elite
collection at 40% off! See them all here.
The
Nixon Axis is the polar opposite of the complex chrono, it's been
stripped away of most detail and the subdials have been arranged in a
straight line, very very modern & minimal chronograph concept, we
likey!

An
icon of watch design, originally introduced in 1973 in France, this
ultra modern chronograph was far ahead of its time. Faithfully
reintroduced by LIP France in excruciating detail.
Right: Tendence Slim Chronograph
Highly
stylized and extremely dimensional, this brand based in Lugano
Switzerland is like no other. Taking watchmaking to new 'heights'!
|
The
Nevil was Triwa's way of adding a little more sophistication to a
chronographs without losing out on the functionality. And a quite fine
job they did too, if you don’t mind us saying so? It also marked the
start of our love affair with the first-class Swedish tannery Tärnsjö,
|
The classic Swiss Railway watch now in a chronograph version.
The Helicop is Uhr-Kraft's toughest looking timepiece... You don't wear it, it wears you!
|
This
is an awesome collection like no other. The De Novo has a very
dimensional dial of rings, chrono subdials and retrograde date. Its name
is a Latin expression meaning "from the beginning", "afresh", "anew",
"beginning again". Sounds good to us...
Oh
we love when a design comes along and just messes with your head. None
better than the Vestal Minimalist collection and the army of
chronographs. Simply the most minimal chronograph ever made.
|
Ingersoll
is a brand to suit many tastes of the mechanical watch collector.
Whether you relish the rich company history dating back to 1892 or
appreciate the modern styling of their wide-ranging collections, you're
sure to find the perfect one.
Summed up, those are shock absorbers! Nuff said...

Raidillon
timepieces are powered by Swiss-engineered movements, which are
self-winding. All watches are part of a limited series of 55 timepieces.
A number derived from the company’s official partnership with the epic
Spa 24-hour race, in which 55 cars are eligible to take part. And just
like in motor racing, the forbidding number 13 has been left out.
HYGGE
is a unique watch brand directly influenced by Scandinavian design and
based on Japanese quality and technical high-standards. Its minimalist
aesthetic, attention to detail, and commitment to craftsmanship are a
hallmark of both cultures.

A
slender watch designed to sit skintight on your wrist, with a
pared-down dial inspired by the restrained functionality of mid-century
aviator watches. Lansen has a fixed lug construction which allows you to
effortlessly change straps. Put on your best scarf or your favorite
leather bracelet, the only limitation is your imagination.
Right: Issey Miyake W Chronograph
The
eleventh new series launched by the ISSEY MIYAKE Watch Project is "W", a
Japanese chronograph watch created through a collaboration with the
renowned car designer, Satoshi Wada, who worked for Audi in Germany and
made remarkable achievements in designing many series. The powerful and
dynamic case is inspired by an aluminum wheel of a car and the long
hands indicate the time on its precise gauge-like dial. The concept is
explained by the designer - "I designed this watch to reflect the
minimal mind based on the traditional aesthetic sense of Japan."
|
The
Danskrono combines the aesthetics of a classic watch with the functions
of a chronometer and date indicator. A wristwatch that fits all your
daily requirements, meetings, stressful times in a classic design that
is timeless. A watch that would look perfectly at home being worn with a
suit, yet not out of place for daily wear because its minimalism is
just plain-attractive.
Right: Braun Chronograph
As
head of design at Braun, Dieter Rams emerged as one of the most
influential industrial designers of the late 20th century by defining an
elegant, legible, yet rigorous visual language for its products. Form
is function on Braun timepieces.
