The Main Types of Chronographs Explained by Their Dials

Originally published in the early 1950s by The Watchmakers of Switzerland, The Main Types of Chronographs Explained by Their Dials is a concise yet authoritative booklet explaining how chronograph dials were designed to be read and used. Intended for professionals, retailers, and watchmakers, it details the practical meaning behind scales, counters, and dial layouts commonly found on mid-century chronographs.

Over the years, several editions were released, including versions from 1951, 1952, and 1958, each reflecting the evolving standards and practices of the time. While the content remains broadly consistent, small variations in layout, language, and presentation exist between editions.

We offer a limited number of original copies, supplied subject to availability. Specific editions cannot always be guaranteed, but all copies are authentic vintage publications from the period.
