Let’s face the facts … most of us do not wear a watch just to tell time.  If that were the case, there are clocks in various shapes and forms around us all day.  We like watches for different reasons … some people like watches as a fashion statement while others like their watch for the different functionalities in addition to basic clock features.  We at Môntrèk Watches understand and THAT is what led to our Diver Collection.  But that is not what we are here to talk about today.  We feel the more YOU know about watches, the better chance there is you will buy a Môntrèk.  So today we are talking about Chronographs.  The Greek words “chronos” and “graph” stand for “time” and “writing”.  A Chronograph is a watch which contains a mechanism that allows you to stop at least one hand to facilitate reading of the elapsed time … that is to say simply a stop-watch function.  Originally, Chronographs were worn by the military as a portable way to time necessary functions.  Later sportsmen became enamored with them for obvious reasons.  As time marched on (yea … I did mean to say that  ), and fanatical precision became more important, quartz Chronographs were developed for their greater accuracy over mechanicals.  Take a look at the watches in the photo … high in style yet classic in functionality.  Do you like these ?  Feel free to let us know.   Let us know what you are thinking, MAYBE we will make one just for you so !!!!!
