An explanation of the how the chronograph works:
Richard’s patented COS mechanism does away with pushers and lets the user control the chronograph entirely through the crown. When the crown is up against the case, turning the crown counter clockwise will activate the chronograph. Once running, turning the crown clockwise will in turn stop the chronograph. Turning the crown clockwise again, with a little more effort will reset the chronograph. Pulling out the crown one position allows for you to wind the watch, and the last position to set the time.
I really love this version of the COS which I had in my hands and foolishly passed on🤦♂️ once upon a time. William and the Habrings completely nailed it with this piece and I’d place it as my 2nd favorite version of the COS ever made!😉😉

I might be a teensy bit partial here. This is the COS “ZM” variant, which counts minutes on the central axis. With this in mind, the Massena piece is certainly my favorite version with subdials. ...
"Displayed" through the crown???

Not a bad watch, but nothing revolutionary- it works like a monopusher. As everyone knows PP had already that kind of "complication" in the 1940's. It would be a bit more of a feat if the chronograph had a chronograph hour counter that also would have to ...
Not like monopusher ....

... since with a monopusher you cannot add time measurements. After stopping, always a rest will follow. With the COS, you always can add the measurements by restarting the chrono without resetting it. Marcus
