In 1934 the second pusher on a chronograph watch, for quicker resetting of the seconds hand, was first patented thus marking the 2.0 of chronograph watches.
The Telechron is as well our 2.0 chronograph, featuring a telemeter scale for measuring the distance of sound, as well as date and stopwatch functions. With clear references to vintage watchmaking, paired with modern technology, this is very much the essence of About Vintage.
Using your Telemeter scale
The telemeter scale makes you able to meassure your distance from an event based on the speed of sound. Start your stopwatch when you see the flash of lightning ( Buton A ) Stop the stopwatch when you hear the rumble of the thunder ( Buton A ) read the distance in kilometers on the watch.
For us, Vintage is not just a reference of style – it is also the journey to
actually becoming vintage.
The journey ( Life ) will take you through even full moments and memorable
days to occasions that change your whole perspective.
We hope that one day your About Vintage watch will help you bring back memories of the special times in your life.
