Tachometric, telemetric, pulsometric, asthmametric, …
Libras are constantly surveying the watch world. Placed on the bezel or dial, they perform various useful measurements for their owner. Here is a selection of watches that are as elegant as they are technical.
TAG Heuer Carrera
Because of its affiliation with the automotive world, TAG Heuer is a benchmark in the manufacture of chronographs with a tachymetric scale. Generally placed on the watch’s bezel, it is used to calculate the average speed of a vehicle between two kilometers. Its principle is simple.
All you have to do is start timing when you pass a distance marker (terminal, highway sign, etc.) and then stop it at the next one. The central pointer on the bezel shows the average speed over 1,000 meters (1 km). Simple, fast and effective.
The Carrera collection is a classic of its kind. The chrono selected by Frank Sans C, with a blue dial and matching fixed ceramic bezel, draws everyone’s attention with its brown leather strap. Sporty and chic as you wish, it features perforations reminiscent of those of the racing gloves of the time. Finally, the polished and satin-finished steel case, 44 mm in diameter, imposes itself discreetly on the wrist. Water-resistant to 100 meters, this instrument is powered by a powerful Heuer 02 manufacture caliber with an 80-hour power reserve.
