One of my favorite chronograph layout
A few years ago I relied extensively on my Sinn 103 to time short intervals and not being able to read sub dials was one of my main complaints. I still remember coming across the Chronoswiss Kairos with the hour & minute at 12 with the valjoux 72 or at 3 with the 7750, which at the time I thought was a stroke of genius. I still look out for chronoswiss and would love to add one at some point, either the aforementioned Kairos chronograph but I also love the more simple Timemaster with its funky crown.
A steel Berlin Chronosplit
Created to commemorate the award received by the company during the Berlin Universal Exposition in 1907 , the Ulysse Nardin Berlin Chronosplit (aka Berlin 1907 Split Second Chronograph) is very rarely seen. Only our dear member Dave G posted about it last...
Thank you so much, Salman!
As the caseback is solid, the rotor doesn't really matter, does it. Best, Emmanuel
Oh it's a solid caseback and not a hunter case, thank you for pointing that out, in that case yes it doesn't matter 😊👍
Did you notice the rear caseback engraving is very Erotic?
The only posts I've found are from Dave G, but of course you know much better than me.
Sad that they don't show them more often: they deserve it. Best, Emmanuel

The Kairos is definitely appealing.
Wishing you the best for the hunt. Best, Emmanuel credit: davidliangdong ...
Oh, yes of course!
Silly me: you said your were attracted to the 4 subdials layout! It looks great.
What a beautiful and classy looking Ulysse Nardin Berlin Chronosplit.
I think that is the nicest of all the Ulysse Nardin watches I have so far seen, it really is just stunning and I love the clear dial layout plus of course the guilloche dial and mother of pearl sub dials it really looks like a very special watch. Marc
Amanico says that several members here have one:
they should share it more often because, like you, I think it fully deserves it. Best, Emmanuel
I think it's a beautiful watch !
I remember trying it on in Geneva back in the day (maybe 1996 or so) at Bucherer and asking Mr. Bucherer who just happened to be there about the movement. As I'd read earlier that the movement was Valjoux 7750 based, I asked if UN themselves had developed...
One of those watches I like…
But am not sure I would wear 🤷🏻♂️😊 A rare split seconds chronograph from that era but also not quite the specialty of UN of a couple of years later. Thanks for showcasing it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The thing that would bother me, I think, is the thickness (14 mm).
I would have to see it in person, judging from photos is too uncertain.
