    Large minute hand Chrono help! Pics please!

    Hi all. Hope you don't mind my picking the forums brain.

    I need a mechanical chrono, but I much prefer it to have a minute counter on the man face, Rather than on the sub dial. I find it hard to read at a glance.

    Something Like a Tag aquagraph system. I think they use a ETA 2892-2 base movement with a Dubois Depraz 2073 module.

    Can you let me know of any other chronic tatbuse this system?

    Pictures. :-)

    Are the 1040 Omegas worth a look?

    The grand daddy of them all in my opinion. The L5100 powered Sinn EZM1.

    Your choices of movement are many.
    Lemania 1340 family (and Omega 1040/1)
    Lemania 5100
    Lemania 5012
    Some other rarer ones, summarised below


    Plus a whole raft of the newer variants, the newr Sinn 142 versions and TH Aquagraph use a module, and now Sinn and B & R have developed their own movements.

    You can get military, dressy, steel, gold or titanium. The world is your lobster.
    tell us what you like

    Dave

    ps - here is one I have just got, pretty rare. 5195-tastic

    I think that you have missed out Damasko.

    I didn't know that Bell and Ross had developed their own centre-minutes chronograph. What is it called?

    Well, Damasko promised one at the same time that Sinn actiually released their SZ01-powered watches (lending credibility to my pet theory that Herr Damasko co-developed the movement with Sinn and therefore thought he had rights to it on release).
    However, since then, Sinn have released at least 3 models with their movement, and sold many examples, Whilst Damasko have removed all references to the new watch from their site.........
    I think he was told to jog on

    The Bell and Ross one can be seen here.

    However, I have forgotten Tutima, who now do have their own movement, as seen in the M2 and the Saxon One

    Surely that's just a 7750? No centre minutes?

    I found a Leicester AD listing it for £4,000 https://www.stewartswatches.co.uk/wa...bring²/hab1004 Harbring2 are a tiny company, with a rather haphazard internet presence,

    I really like the Tutima M2 and the Bell & Ross. I wonder if the latter developed their own movement?

    Showing my ignorance here.
    I'm a three hander man, never owned non digital chrono. I like to see a sweeping centre second hand.
    I've always fancied an EZM1 or 10 (I like the plane silhouette!) and thought that one of the centre hands was actually a constant second hand but it's a centre minute hand, is that right?
    Are there any chrono's that have a centre second hand along side the chrono hand?

    As the Fortis is a GMT, I think that the airplane hand on this watch is the second hour hand.

    No, it is universal for all chronos (including this group that has centre minnutes) that the constant seconds is on a sub-dial, and not on the central pinion. the seconds on the central pinion is always the chronograph seconds.
    I have not seen it (and would regard it as confusing too).
    All these watches should have time hours and minutes, plus chronograph seconds and minutes on the central pinion. Not all of them (like the EZM1) have constant seconds at all. The Fortis and Muhle are here in error.
    Dave

    Here are some more

    Lorenz Sub Pro in blue


    Tutima ZUZ



    But the problem is that they are very hard to find.
    Tutima Bund or Porsche Design are the easiest to find, in fact there's a very nice pd on SC right now.
