A chronograph is a horological mechanism that measures intervals of time with precision. Unlike an ordinary watch that simply indicates the time, a chronograph has additional functions that allow a time counter to be started, stopped and reset independently of the time indication. These functions are generally activated by push-pieces located on the outside of the watch case. Chronographs are often used in contexts where the precise measurement of time is important, such as sport, aviation, or even simply as a practical extra function in an everyday watch. It is now accepted that Louis Moinet (1768-1853) made a first version in 1816, followed in 1821 by Nicolas-Mathieu Rieussec (1781-1866), who gave it the name we use today. The chronograph in its current form was developed in the early 1880s. From the early 1930s onwards (c.1933), Patek Philippe began manufacturing in series wristwatches with chronographs and minute counters; initially, around fifty pieces were produced each year, later increasing to around one hundred. -- What is a split-seconds chronograph? A split-seconds chronograph or “rattrapante” is a type of chronograph with two central, superimposed and coaxial hands operated by two push-pieces (or three, depending on the type of construction). One of the push-pieces controls the split-seconds hand to stop or join the chronograph hand. The other push-piece (or the 2nd and 3rd push-pieces) controls the two hands and all the normal chronograph functions. The two hands, the chronograph hand and the split-seconds hand, are used to time several events which start simultaneously but have different durations. To activate the split-seconds chronograph, the two hands are started simultaneously and remain superimposed. At the end of the first period, the split-seconds hand can be stopped while the chronograph hand continues to move. The duration of the first event can be read. Once the event has been recorded, the split-seconds hand can be reset. It moves instantly, joining up with the chronograph hand and synchronising with it. This means it’s ready to record a new event. At the end of each event, the hands can be stopped and reset to zero. The split-seconds chronograph in its current form was developed in the early 1880s. The oldest split-seconds chronograph wristwatch was commercialised in 1922 by Patek Philippe. From the end of the 1930s (c.1938), Patek Philippe began manufacturing in series wristwatches with split-seconds chronographs and minute counters; initially, around ten pieces were produced each year. Patek Philippe, Master of all Horological Complication Patek Philippe is a prestigious Swiss watch manufacturer, renowned for its luxury watches and exceptional craftsmanship. Founded in 1839 in Geneva by Antoine Norbert de Patek (1812-1877) and François Czapek (1811-after 1869), the company quickly established its reputation as a manufacturer of superior watches. In 1844, following the National Exhibition of French Industrial Products in Paris, Antoine Norbert de Patek met Jean-Adrien Philippe (1814-1894), a young French watchmaker. In 1845, after Czapek’s departure, the two men concluded a commercial agreement and introduced numerous innovations in the field of watchmaking, notably a keyless-winding and time-setting system for which Philippe received a Bronze medal. In 1851, the company was renamed “Patek, Philippe & Cie – Fabricants à Genève”, and over the decades became synonymous with exclusivity, precision and technical perfection as evidenced by the wristwatch made for the countess Hungarian Koscowicz (1868), patents for a precision regulator (1881), a perpetual calendar mechanism (1889), a double chronograph (1902) and all the brand’s creations, whether pocket watches or watches. bracelets with horological complications. From the early 1900s until 1927, Patek Philippe introduced a unique business model. The house’s main distributor based in Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, “Gondolo & Labouriau” sold more than a third of the production at the time thanks to a cleverly orchestrated sales system. These timepieces, known as “Chronometro Gondolo”, are collector’s items famous both for their very high technical quality and for their unique history. The watches were sold at the time, exclusively to members of a very select clubs called the “Gondolo Gang” which have 180 members. Being part of these collector’s clubs was, at the beginning of the 20th century, a distinctive sign of success in Brazilian society. According to an ingenious raffle system, each member of the club agrees to buy a watch for the amount of 790 Swiss francs divided into 79 weekly instalments of 10 francs. During these 79 weeks of repayment, a weekly draw is organized where the winner is released from the balance of his debt. The first winner pays 10 francs for their watch, the second 20 francs, etc. The earlier you buy your watch, the cheaper it costs, provided you win this lottery. Echoing this episode in its history, the “Gondolo” collection was reinterpreted in 1993 with shaped watches. In 1932, Patek Philippe became a family business when the Stern family, already involved in the production of dials for the brand, bought the company. It is also the year of the launch of a model that will become the brand’s flagship collection: the “Calatrava”. Even today, it contributes to the success and reputation of the company. Among the emblematic models of Patek Philippe, we can also mention the “Ellipse” (1968) with its elliptical-shaped case, at the crossroads of the circle and the rectangle which is inspired by the “golden ratio”; the “Nautilus” (1976), a sporty and luxurious watch whose case is inspired by a porthole; or watches for women, such as the “Twenty-4” collection (1999), which combines feminine elegance with horological precision. Since its creation, the brand has been driven by a spirit of innovation. In 1989, Patek Philippe released a very complex model to celebrate its 150th anniversary. Named “Calibre 89”, the watch is equipped with 33 horological complications and its calibre is made up of 1 728 parts. Eleven years later, in order to celebrate the second millennium, the brand released the “Star Calibre 2000” model, a double-sided pocket watch with 21 horological complications. Finally, the year 2002 saw the launch of the “Sky Moon Tourbillon” model, the most complicated double-sided wristwatch ever produced by the house. Benchmark precision instruments, Patek Philippe watches are also recognized by collectors for being objects of art whose beauty reflects perfection. For many years, Patek Philippe has strived to preserve all the high craftsmanship professions linked for more than four centuries to the decoration of timepieces. This is how exceptional contemporary creations come into being – pocket watches, wristwatches, or clocks –, most often unique pieces, which highlight all these skills that are threatened with disappearance. This transmission value is essential for the brand. Patek Philippe can be proud of having filed more than 70 patents since its creation, notably for a Gyromax balance-wheel (1949), mechanical watches with time zones (1959), a mechanical movement with peripheral rotor (1964), an indicator mechanism of the date of Easter (1985), an annual calendar (1996) or even an astronomical representation mechanism (2000). These technical innovations have largely contributed to advancing the horological industry while contributing to the brand’s reputation for excellence. Today, Patek Philippe is a watch brand that continues to produce superior quality watches that are admired by watch enthusiasts around the world. -- Key Dates • 1839: foundation of “Patek, Czapek & Cie2 by Antoine Norbert de Patek and François Czapek in Geneva. • 1845: following the departure of Czapek, the company becomes “Patek & Cie”.
