I am pretty sure most people already know my fetish for manual wind chronographs. I have been very fortunate to own and have owned many fabulous chronographs over the years so I can honestly give an assessment of their overall quality, finish, etc...

Having said that, there are standouts for different reasons but I have been quoted to say that I believe the Lange Double Split is the King of Chronographs for me due to it being a FIRST of it's kind and still never replicated by any other manufacturer nor Independent. Of course there are other exceptional chronographs as well and everyone will have a different perspective and choice.

Well, today I have to say there is a NEW King of Chronographs for me !!

Ever since I knew about the Sequential EVO and subsequently learning about it technically and functionally, there simply is NOTHING else like it.

BRAVO to Max, Stephen, and the entire MB&F team for making something truly innovative as well as being drop dead gorgeous.

ALL hail the new King 🤴 🙌
