This article celebrates the chronograph as a symbol of man's pursuit of time and adventure.
Hi folks,
I do not feel proud owning some watches,after hanging in this site for sometime now.But sincerely feel happy and satisfy after sometime,my little collection has grown to my opinion--they are okay.
As many pointed out,chronograph watch has some special/undivided love with man,partly due to the appearance--chrono pusher located exterior of the case,a feeling of musculine.Appearance on the dial also makes the dial a little complicated but with style as there are two or more chrono hands around the dial.That's the appearance part,deep into the mythology,its the speedy,the spped sensational.Man like to chase after many things,from women to money,from watches to exotic car.Being an instrument that able to track down the time,to chase after the time,and etcTherefore down to the point that chrono's are man's undivided mate.
Everytime,chrono pusher being activated the wearer will feel a kind of rush from the adrenalin down to the fingure of its body due very much to this unbelieavable feeling of sensation.The rush of speed the need to chase....to chase/to chase after the TIME.
My collection below is build according to my above understanding and i do hope it makes sense.
I hope here,others would be able to share their collection with theme here.I am sure they are many more collectors would proudly stand out and share their experince and theme on their wonderfull collection(some even took 20 years to collect).Please let us see not only your collection but your inspiration and the meaning behind your collection.
