Chronograph watches first appeared around 1910, and were introduced as wrist watches, although they were often referred to as stopwatches. The chronograph became a fashionable and ‘must-have’ accessory - a status symbol for the age, not too dissimilar to the Iphone of the modern era.
It wasn’t until the 1990s that the style became accessible to everyone, when the Swatch watch company began producing affordable chronographs that sold in vast numbers. In today’s watch market, you would struggle to find a manufacturer who didn’t have one in its range.
