@MrHdradeon Here's your answer: The term chronometer (apparently coined in 1714 by Jeremy Thacker, an early competitor for the prize set by the Longitude Act in the same year)[1] is used more recently to describe wristwatches tested and certified to meet certain precision standards. Timepieces made in Switzerland may only display the word 'chronometer' if certified by the COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Institute).
@MrHdradeon Your answer part 2: Chronograph: A chronograph is a specific type of watch that is used as a stopwatch combined with a display watch. A basic chronograph has an independent sweep second hand; it can be started, stopped, and returned to zero by successive pressure on the stem. Nicolas Mathieu Rieussec invented the chronograph in 1821. Rieussec was awarded the original patent for his chronograph in 1822.
@PUNISHERUltra What style do you like? Classic (Patek Philippe), Complicated, Modern (Urwerk, HD3)...? Try and get one that will increase in value if you have that money to spend.
