Well, I will just play the modern register, as for vintage it might be too long. And I will only play with the manual winding chronos. Here is what I have / had.

Would you mind saying a few words why this passion for chronographs? How frequent do you press the button and use the function? I am asking because I am considering buying one myself (VC CdV) and can't put my finger on why I think it is so cool and perhaps you can help me? Thanks

Hard to deny your commitment and appreciation for this practical complication not to mention the absolute beauty of sub dials. Enjoy

As for using the chronograph function, I do try to use it daily for random activities like timing an exercise session, playing sports, cooking (rarely, LOL), reading, surfing online, etc...I think if one makes a conscious effort, anyone could find a use for a chronograph. I own many amazing watches but I still think the chronographs are the ones that attract me the most. Call it a fetish, who knows ðŸĪ·â€â™‚ïļðŸĪ”
