My first "real" watch was a chrono...

This complication has held a fascination since I was a small kid and watch teachers time races with mechanical stop watches. My first chronograph watch was an IWC Fleigerchrono mecaquartz in the early nineties, quickly followed up by a Brietling chronomat with Burgundy dial on the bullet bracelet...so a couple of recent models that I have owned and the current ones...
First a couple of past favs, my Habring2 Sports chrono with the NOS Valjoux 7734 caliber
My beloved GO Panograph that I had to release some years back...
This one I really regret selling, unfortunately circumstances were necessary and it had to go. Tough, as I loved it's classic timeless look and lovely Lemania caliber.
This Tutima Military Chrono has a fun story, and I am fortunate to know the US Distributor and gained this amazing ride with Sean Tucker's pilot from the Tutima Aviation Academy many years ago.
Now onto the current pieces in the collection...
Another military Tutima Chrono, this one with a US Air Force logo
The oldest watch in the current collection, from 1994 still love it!
Having recently visited Beat in Luzern, the genius of this pioneering annual calendar from Ludwig Oechslin, is more apparent. This MIH annual calendar chrono gets a lot of wrist time...
Looks like I'm due another chrono, mmm perhaps an elegant dressy one as I seem to have fun and sporty covered...
To dream of the next one,
HAGWE
Cheers,
