Chronograph Watches: The Art of Timing According to Jacob & Co.

A chronograph is the complication most synonymous with sports activities, offering an unparalleled blend of versatility, technical prowess, design, and innovation. Jacob & Co. leverages this exceptional function throughout its collection, particularly in men's chronograph watches such as the Epic X Chrono 47MM, Epic X Chrono 44MM, Epic X Chrono Tourbillon, and Epic X Chrono Baguette.

What Is a Chronograph Watch?

A frequently asked question, "What is a chronograph watch?" can be answered by exploring the intricacies of its design. A chronograph is powered by specialized chronograph watch parts and operated through pushers. Its main purpose is to display elapsed time, controlled by the wearer. 

For those curious about how to use a chronograph wristwatch by Jacob & Co., understanding the function of the pushers is key. The pusher located at 2 o'clock initiates the chronograph, causing the central seconds hand on the dial to move. This hand indicates elapsed seconds. The chronograph can be stopped and restarted as desired with the same pusher. When timing is complete, and the elapsed time has been noted, the chronograph can be reset using the pusher at 4 o'clock. This straightforward process is essential for learning how to operate a chronograph watch efficiently.

Jacob & Co.'s Innovative Chronograph Watches

Among Jacob & Co.’s exceptional designs is the Jean Bugatti, one of the most sophisticated chronograph watches ever conceived. Unlike conventional chronographs with a single central hand for measuring elapsed seconds, the Jean Bugatti features dual hands—one for elapsed seconds and another for elapsed tens of seconds. This unique mechanism creates an intricate dance: as the first hand advances up the seconds scale, it resets and leaps back when it reaches ten, while the second hand moves one position up on the tens-of-seconds scale. This complex choreography repeats seamlessly, showcasing the innovation that makes Jacob & Co. chronograph watches a marvel of watchmaking.
