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 we drew the first lines of the 1934 Telechron, About Vintage 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.

    Beautiful Execution

    DailyWatch was great to do business with. Very easy transaction and fast shipping to the USA. The Telechron is a lovely watch for sports fans and vintage style watch afficianado's alike. Though a quartz watch (stop here if you can't handle the word quartz) it is well executed with a clean easy to read dial that wears very comfortably on the wrist at 42mm and is an overall charming watch to behold. Even my wife proclaimed "oh, that is pretty!". Hard to beat at this price point as well (on sale at 30% off msrp) but even at retail pricing I would strongly consider this and other AV86 watches. I am very happy with my purchase so far.
