Chronographic watches for men
The chronograph watch has an additional function, also called a complication in the watch world, a built-in stopwatch. The word chronograph comes from the Greek and literally means: 'writing time'. In 1816, Louis Moinet invented the Chronograph to track astronomical objects. Nowadays, this watch is perfect for exercising or measuring the speed of a car, for example. But the watch is also used for piloting airplanes and diving.

Iconic ladies watches
Two women in particular have left their mark on the history of watches, these are Marie-Antoinette of Austria and Caroline Murat, Napoleon's younger sister.
Caroline Murat had a particularly great passion for haute Horlogerie. Her passion was so great that she purchased no fewer than 1805 watches between 1814 and 34. She is said to have purchased the very first wristwatch in 1810, a true revolution for that time. For a long time, it was considered rude for a woman to look at her watch, because it could give the impression of being bored. However, these times are over and a watch is almost indispensable on a woman's wrist.
