The name « Chronomètre Royal » was registered in 1908 by Vacheron & Constantin. This highly accurate model was created for the Brazilian market known for its appreciation of precision timepieces. The main difference between the Chronomètre Royal and the standard production of Vacheron Constantin was the hacking second hand. This function allows the wearer to set the time precisely, it stops the sweep second hand when the crown is in the hand-set position, a feature rarely found on watches made for civilian use in the first half of the 20th century.
