Does anyone know whether the column wheel or cam is the most robust chrono mechanism and why?

quick answer.. Typically column wheel chronographs are smoother to operate and does not typically have the 'jerk forward' when you start the chronograph that you get with cams. Cams are typically easier to service and are less labour intensive to assemble. When done right, cams are just as cool as column wheel which is what a lot of us like about the Omegas calibre 861 and 1861 etc.. Monochrome watches wrote quite a lot about cams / column wheel on their website too. Best regards and stay health
