Now here is another question
What is important to you, is functionality or aesthetics, for me, it is a hard question to answer. When I was working as a software analyst, I would have chosen function, as I used my chronograph to measure computer transactions as part of my job. I had to do performance monitoring and one of those tasks was measuring the time it took to enter a command on a console to the time the application processed the command and sent a return notification back to the console that the command was processed. I am retired now and those days are long gone so I really do not have practical use for a chronograph any longer other than to time an egg, but I still think they look neatto.
Now that I have set the backdrop I have two watches fort comparison shoppers
One is Hanhart, a brand with over a hundred years heritage in making precision timepieces and has done so for not only the German airforce but the French military as well. The company started in Switzerland in the late 1800s but moved to Germany in the early 1900s. The watch below is a hand wind with a fly back culumn wheel one of the most impressive features in a chronograph watch. It comes in a Panda and reverse panda dial
The next watch is from an independent watchmaker whop has made a huge impact on the watch community over the last few years creating affordable much sought after watches. Hajimi Asioka made watches in the three digits but as of 2019 started his Kurono Tokyo company contracting Precision watch company in Japan to build his watches, he decided to do this to make his designs more accerssable to those collectors without the huge pocketbooks. The watches he designs are aesthetically pleasing with beautiful color designs taken from the natural beauty of the Japanese landscape. The newest watch is a column wheel Seiko automatic chronograph that is noted to be dependable and reliability.
In summation
Both the Hanhart and Kurono are quality chronographs in their own right, the Hanhart as mechnical marvel with a flyback feature, The Kurono is more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The question is would you ever have need for the flyback complication or is it just s great feature as a conversation piece. Would you pick the Kurono for its pleasing looks over the technical prowness of the Hanhart. Now major issues I have not mentioned the cost of the Hanhart is about 2.5k where the Kurono is 3.4k both are priced without tax. The Hanhart gives you more options coming on a 39mm and 42mm case, the Kurono comes in a pleasing 38mm case both the Hanhart and Kurono are 14mm thick. The Kurono comes with a date but the date is lacking on the Hanhart.
So now the question is which would you chose
