A Watch I want
and sadly it does not exist. I want a simple chronograph with s specific function, the only thing I've ever used a chronograph for: ranging lightning. I don't even need a minute or hour counter, just the second hand and a bezel callibrated to the speed of sound. That way I can start it when I see the lightning, stop it when I head the thunder, and figure out how far away the storm is. I even propose a name "Thunderchief", from a old US fighter jet.
So brands, step up, I offer my idea at the low, low, down-to-earth price of giving me one for free

There was one watch with the function you desire although it is out of production
I had an opportunity to trade for one a few years back but missed out. It was the Graham aeroflyback telemeter 42 mm. Perhaps a bit too large for your tastes though... Pic from timetunnel Hope to see you soon, Mike...
Not just too big
too everything! but glad to know that someone else has thought of this, maybe there will be another someday soon. What that watch gave me was the term Telemeter, which is the term (like tachymeter, but for distance not speed). Apparently Oris and Ball mak...
Maybe a foudroyante will suffice?
That way you can time 1/8 of a secs Cheers, Anthony
