The word chronograph was used for the first time in watchmaking by Nicolas Mathieu Rieussec (1781-1866) watch located in Paris. He created, and made a short time measurement system patented in 1821 using a rotating dial surmounted by a fixed needle with a small ink reserve. The trace of the ink left on the dial made it possible to determine the period of time that we wanted to measure.

Louis Frédéric Perrelet, designed in 1827 a watch with two seconds of the seconds. One of the needles could be stopped at will and by a second pressure on the pusher she resumed the place she had if she had not stopped. It’s the ancestor of modern catch -up systems.

Finally in 1861, Henri Ferréol Piguet produced the first modern chronograph, with an additional needle ordered by a single pusher allowing the start, stop and reset.
