Description

In 1934, the second pusher on a chronograph watch was invented, allowing for quicker resets — a development that effectively marked the beginning of Chronograph 2.0.

The Telechron is About Vintage’s take on the 2.0 chronograph, featuring a telemeter scale for measuring the distance of sound, as well as date and stopwatch functions.

With clear references to vintage watchmaking, paired with modern technology, this timepiece truly embodies the essence of About Vintage.

THE DESIGN

When About Vintage drew the first lines of the 1934 Telechron, we wanted a watch that encapsulated the vintage elegance, yet held up to modern times' need for durability and usability. 

Therefore, the face of the watch features a classic leveled dial, with sword hands and subtle coloring, and combined with square pushers and a 42mm case, this watch features the best of both worlds. 

A classic yet contemporary watch.

THE TELEMETER FUNCTION

The telemeter scale has been used in chronograph watches for close to 100 years, so it is not anything new. However, it is not as common as the tachymeter scale, used to measure speed over a known distance. The telemeter, however, is probably more usable in daily life, but what does it actually do?

A telemeter scale is used for measuring distances in sound. With the telemeter scale a distance can be measured due to a visible and audible event, e.g. during a thunderstorm. The division on the dial is based on the speed of sound in air (340 meters per second). Start the hands in the moment when you see the flash, and stop it when you hear the thunder. The hand tells you how far away the storm is.
