...I was like, "what the heck's a chronograph?"... that thing looks like a watch to me... thank goodness for wikipedia... otherwise i wouldn't have ever known that Analog chronographs show both time and stopwatch functions with analog hands. Typically the center hand will be used for stopwatch functions, while subdials may indicate seconds, stopwatch minutes and hours and (in some quartz chronographs) tenths or hundredths of a second..... still sounds like a watch to me... this Reactor Critical Mass Stainless Chronograph looks pretty nice for guys... and they run pretty expensive, even on the comparison engines... so it looks to be a good deal... get it if you want a nice watch... though i've never heard of Reactor Watches... or should i say Reactor Chronographs (fancy pants)... but after this woot, i'm kinda a fan... this thing looks hot... Reactor Critical Mass Stainless Chronograph for EVERYONE!... ... p.s. Around 1720, the English watchmaker Graham built the first clock which allowed to measure the duration of an event - theoretically, with 1/16 second accuracy! Graham is therefore known as the "Father of the Chronograph" today... thanks England!
