One per decade...
Chronographs represent a very important complication. Many youngsters are rightly fascinated by the ability to measure time and interact with the watch movement.
One of my first watches reflected that, when I was around 10 years old: Swatch Black Friday (considered a collector back then during the Swatch mania!)
In the same theme, during my 20s, I had my Speedmaster time, with about 8 pieces collected and sold.
The one I regret the most is obviously the 2998 with its metal sword hands
And having a few years left of my 40s, which I am planning to let go with a bang with a real high end chronograph from Lange... one day...

Wrist Scan for Friday 16th is Open Now! : Time for Chronographs!!
Hello dear Friends! As announced last Wednesday I have the pleasure to be your host this week end and our Theme invites to share your favorite chronographs. Since my beginnings as a watch collector I felt fascinated by chronographs. I found and still find...
Great theme and even greater watches, my dear Abel!

... awesome Moser chrono sporting such a stunning dial you are the first participant this week end and I thank you so much for sharing this beauty and also for your kind compliments. Have a nice week end my friend! Cheers! Abel
IMO You are a winner with your Mare Nostrum and your H. Moser, I like them both
But I am not much into Chronograph even if some are irresistible like those 2 HAGS ;-)
A weakness for vintage chronographs, esp those with 2 subdials
I don’t have many chronographs in my collection, but those I have are mainly manual-wound, and vintage. I’m fond of the two-subdial layout, it just seems better balanced to me. (And Abel, you have an amazingly diverse collection of Chronos!) ...
Great submission NT931 !! Three superb chronos...
... you share wiih us. Agree that two sub dial configuration makes for a cleaner and more balanced layout of dial. Thank you for your kind comments about my collection!! Hagwe! Abel
Pheww !.. What a line-up, my friend !.. That salmon dial Breguet is amazing..
Although I’ve seen the 2nd input ( sterile dial), I didn’t recall the brand . - clean, almost austere face. Then the amazing Longines, the blue Montblanc - where to stop with my awes !? - Also really love that georgeous Lemania with that colorated dial ! ...
I share your thought and feelings dear HS!!
Nicolas shared a breathtaking collection!! Cheers! Abel
Wow my dear Nicolas! I did well to get my pills near me!
Not easy to choose only one piece here! You know I’m specially fond of the salmon dial Type XX but also the Patek, the Longines... you don’t make it easy my friend!! Thank you for sharing these beauties my dear friend!! Hagwe! Abrazos! Abel
Your breguet is simply beautiful 👍🏻.
I would have loved to have the MB but my wrist just can't carry it.....
Good Chronograph selection...

Excellent collection dear Nicolas!
Would you say this is the most frequent/popular complication in your collection? Best regards
Pfiou, just forget it!
I was trying to make a selection but it is too difficult to rank them. I'll just grab the Jardur and the Type XX Pt but you knew it already
Some heavy hitters!
Looking forward to other entries. Here are a few from me, mostly from one of my friend with ample resources (!), the sinn is mine: ...
