    Episode 25 - The Evolution of Chronograph Watches…and World Peace

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 25, 2021 72:15


    As many of you know, chronograph watches are not Ernesto's forte. So in this episode, we invited a good friend of the show, Daniel @wonger.bonger. Daniel is not only a watch enthusiast who is quite passionate about vintage timepieces, but he's also a world of knowledge when it comes to the chronograph complications and watches. Daniel and Ernesto delve into the history of chronographs, various types of chronographs, some of the more iconic chronos, and of course, some of their favorites. During their conversation, they briefly touch on the fact that chronograph movements are quite difficult to make, and it took the collaboration of numerous watch makers to make various chronograph movements. Hence the reference to “world peace”. Daniel, thank you again for joining us and collaborating with us! It was an absolute pleasure having you as our special guest host for this episode. We look forward to the next time we can facilitate more “world peace”. Are there any chronographs that you feel very strongly about? What are your favorite chronographs? Please let us know, and we hope you enjoy this episode!
