Does anybody have a video of the PanoRetroGraph in action?
I'm quite intrigued by this chronograph. How does it work? On the movement side, I can see the chiming gongs and hammer together with the governer on the left, when/how does this activate and how is it set? How does the "countdown" function work for the chrono? I assume the pushbutton at 9 toggles between "counting down" and running normally?

From memory...
Had a chance to play with a used PanoRetrograph in 2010, but my recollection is foggy. The countdown timer is adjusted by pulling the crown out one position and turning it clockwise. I think...in any case, turning the opposite way adjusted the big date. T...
Thanks jmpTT,
I'm quite amazed they crammed in these many features (and, well finished!) at such a price point. I finally found a video that shows the watch chiming: The reverse countdown feature is interesting - I can't think of another chronograph that does this. Ha...
thanks for that link!
I've always wanted to see it as well! Well at least the video showed part of the mechanism but like you say seeing the watch in full operation should be fascinating.
