What is a Chronograph Watch?

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 by yelena

What is a Chronograph Watch?
A chronograph is a timepiece or a watch with multiple functions; namely, timekeeping and stopwatch functions.

History of the Chronograph Watches
‘Chronos’ and ‘graph’ refers to ‘time’ and ‘writing’ in Greek. A chronograph is a time-measuring device which contains a mechanism that permits to stop at least one hand to expedite the reading of the elapsed time.

The chronograph was invented by Rieussec, a Frenchman in 1821. In fact, the only timepiece that was named Chronograph was this. It was written on the dial attached to the index. The dial may function as a stopwatch. A patent was given to him in 1822.

In the 1910s, the chronograph, also known as the stopwatch, was proposed as a wrist watch. As time passes, the popularity or these watches increased. In the early 1990s, the Swatch watch company started the production of affordable and fashionable chronographs and it was well sought after by consumers. In the recent years, almost every respectable watch company has a chronograph in its collection.

Real Chronograph
Chronographs are watches that can measure time in various ways. They can be used for one or more specific time measurements besides using it for day-to-day time keeping. To allow this, the dial has several sub dials with a scale, from which the measurements can be read. A central second hand can be started and stopped, without interfering with the continuous time.

More complicated chronograph watches have a sub register for total number of hours, often located at 6 o’clock location on the dial. This will allow it to take measurements up to 12 hours. Chronograph watches have a relatively complicated movement and this applies to even the simpler chronograph watches.

The Sporting Image
Stopwatches were used mainly by sportsmen and the military in the past. Because of their profession, they had to be able to measure the time of various events precisely. Therefore, using a chronograph was a practical choice.

In a sports event, the difference between Gold and Silver award winner is very often a matter of hundredths of a second. Mechanical watches are unable to measure this, so quartz chronographs are used.

To racing enthusiasts, a stopwatch with tachometer is very useful. A tachometer will automatically indicate the speed in kilometers per hour.

Divers have their own time piece as well. Their basic requirement is that the case is waterproof. That is why a diver’s chronograph has round pushers, a screw on crown, and a screw back case which is provided with rubber gasket-rings to keep water out. At a depth of 30 meters there is hardly any daylight penetrating, so luminescent numerals and hands on a dark dial are necessary.

The most important feature of any diver’s watch is the diving ring. This is a rotating bezel around the dial or the crystal. It is divided in minutes and often has a triangular fluorescent marking at 12. Before divers take to the water, they have calculated the time they can spend under water.

Fashion
In the present, wearing a chronograph is a matter of taste, rather than profession. The chronograph is becoming a fashion statement. However, they are also used in daily life situations like making a cup of instant noodles, which requires a rather accurate timing otherwise noodles will turn out either too turgid or too flaccid. The biggest appeal of the chronograph is probably the exciting and sportive image, as it is the watch for astronauts, car racers and pilots. These professions are known to be more adventurous.

Besides those who chose functionality or image, there is a small group of enthusiasts (collectors) that considers the movement to be the most beautiful part of the watch. You will know more about this if you have seen a chronograph watch opened.

As a rule, a chronograph is more expensive than a normal or automatic watch, due to the complexity and craftsmanship necessary for manufacturing.

Cyalume Light Sticks – How do they work?

Monday, July 20th, 2009 by Lalu

“LIGHT STICK GLOW IN THE DARK!”

Light (Glow) sticks have not only become  an essential item for tactical forces and outdoor enthusiasts around the world but also for  party and concerts staple since they were being invented around 25 years ago.

6inch_glow

Have you ever wondered how do the glow sticks work? Lightsticks do not require bulb nor batteries to operate!  While it may seem like supernatural magic, we are going to tell you the technology behind light sticks ( which actually is very simple!) in this entry.

breaking

A typical commercial light stick contains a Hydrogen Peroxide solution, a solution containing  a phenyl oxalate ester, and a fluorescent dye. Before you activate the light stick, two solutions are kept in separate chambers. The phenyl oxalate ester and dye solution fills most of the plastic stick itself. The hydrogen peroxide solution, called the activator, is contained in a small, fragile glass vial in the middle of the stick. When you bend the plastic stick, the glass vial snaps open, and the two solutions flow together. The chemicals immediately react to one another.

light-stick-diagram
Here’s the sequence of events when the two above solutions are combined:

1. Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes the phenyl oxalate ester, resulting in a chemical called phenol and an unstable peroxyacid ester.

2. The unstable peroxyacid ester decomposes, resulting in additional phenol and a cyclic peroxy compound.

3. The cyclic peroxy compound decomposes to carbon dioxide.

4. This decomposition releases energy to the dye.

5. Electrons in the dye atoms jump to a higher

level, then fall back down, releasing energy in the form of light.
This is how the light sticks produces light. The particular dye used in the chemical solution gives the light its distinctive color.

photon_wallpaper_8_800

If you want a brighter light to be emitted from the stick, you may heat it.  Heat energy will accelerate the reaction between the chemicals and the stick will glow brighter, but for a shorter amount of time. If you cool the light stick, the reaction will slow down, and the light will dim. So f you want to preserve your light stick for the next day, put it in the freezer. It will not stop the lighting process, but it will drag out the reaction considerably.

Primo Watches: Chronograph and Square Collection

Thursday, July 16th, 2009 by yelena

As mentioned in the previous post, Primo watches are contemporary fun watches which are influenced and inspired by high end watch houses.

In this post, I’m going to emphasize more on two of the more popular collections; the Chronograph and the Square collection.

Have you watched the movie, Terminator 3? The lead actor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was wearing an Audemars Piguet Royal Offshore.

AP Offshore

The Audemars Piguet Royal Offshore watches looks manly but it’s not only meant for the big man. It looks just as great on the ladies!

However, this particular Audemars Piguet Royal Offshore watches are retailing for more than 18k! It may look stunning but it is definitely going to burn a hole in that pocket of yours!

Primo Chronograph Collection watches inspired by Audemars Piguet Offshore watches and only retailing for over SGD400. This does not mean that Primo Chronograph Collection watches are of inferior material! The Primo Chronograph Collection watches are of stainless steel base and rubber-clad straps. Not forgetting it is water resistant too.

Primo watches chronograph collection 3Primo watches chronograph collection 4

Primo watches have a variety of different watches in different designs and colours. This Primo Chronograph collection does come in a few other colours and one of them is bronze.

The rubber-clad straps gives the user a more sporty look and comfortable at the same time, while the steel watch face gives a more masculine touch. In addition, the buttons are not your usual circular shape too. These details brings life to the watches.

Rubber-Clad watch straps prevents watches from slipping down which I personally think is much more comfortable to wear. I wouldn’t like to adjust my watch so often.

Therefore, another watch I highly recommend is the Primo Watches Square Collection.

This collection is inspired by Cartier Santos 100.

From the Primo watches Square Collection featuring not only the rubber-clad straps, it also features on the transparent watch face from the side angle and it’s water resistant properties. Details of Primo logo engraved on the buckle of the watches and the studs surrounding the face makes this Primo Square Collection more unique and dressy. Suitable for both the men and women.

Looking very familiar? Primo Submariner is inspired by the Rolex Submariner. Rolex is one of the most powerful watch brand in the world.

And worn on both male and female hollywood celebrities. Just naming a couple:

Rolex Submariner is definitely a classic watch and have been launched for over 50 years yet still popular. It is designed unisex, radiating an aura of class and perfection. However, this Rolex Submariner is priced at a hefty US5,300.00 whereas a Primo Submariner is priced at SGD165.00. Not only Primo Submariner looks similar to Rolex Submariner, it is made of stainless steel bezel with stylish dial and high quality polycarbonate strap.
