RIGHT ON TRACK
Maintaining balance and clarity while packing in the features, Blancpain’s Villeret Single-Pusher Chronograph does a lot more than just measure elapsed times at the push of one button. Equipped with the Calibre 66CM8, this 40mm steel timepiece also features a calendar and moonphase display.
THE PULSE OF THINGS
Powered by a manually wound column-wheel chronograph movement made at Montblanc’s top-end manufacture in Villeret, the Montblanc Heritage Spirit Pulsograph (right) is housed in a 41mm red gold case and features a sunburst dial with a pulsometer scale on its outer edge. Historically used by those in the medical profession, a pulsometer enables the quick taking of one’s pulse.
REMAKING HISTORY
Taking inspiration from a 1920s medical timepiece, the Longines Pulsometer Chronograph (far right) has plenty of vintage charm. Along with painted Arabic numerals and Breguet-style blued steel hands, a pulsometer scale embellishes the outer edge of the dial. A 40mm steel case houses a column-wheel chronograph movement exclusive to the brand.
GREAT CLARITY
Instead of a pusher embedded within the crown, the Panerai Radiomir 1940 Chrono Monopulsante 8 Days GMT Oro Rosso (far left) features a pusher at eight o’clock that activates, stops and restarts its column-wheel chronograph. This 45mm red gold timepiece has an eight-day power reserve, as indicated on its dial.
STRONG DEBUT
When IWC created its first monopusher chronograph, it did so within its classically elegant Portofino family. The Portofino Hand-wound Monopusher (left) is driven by the manually wound in-house 59360 calibre, which has a lengthy power reserve of eight days. Measuring 45mm across, the red gold watch is fitted with an alligator leather strap by Italian shoemaker Santoni.
