Watches with Chrongraph functions today can all look the same after a while, there are very few that autonomously stand out from the rest. A great example of one that totally has its own personality and makes a statement is the ultra modern Manometro Chronograph.
The Manometro Chronografo is the latest in chronograph's that are laid out in the most modern and inventive way without looking like a cheap toy. The watch was introduced at the Basel Fair now 2 years ago and the first of it's kind to have the subdials on a diagonal plane. The dials are available in two flavors, cream with silver subdials, which to me looks like an original tire pressure gauge or black with silver subdials. The case is a polished 45.3 mm stainless steel case and the push buttons for the chrono are recessed on the opposite side of the case and are hidden for the ultimate in subtle gadgetry and ergonomics, while the screw down crown on the right side of the case at the 2 o'clock position is the master control of operating the time and ensuring water resistance! The self winding movement is modified with a Dubois Dupras Chronograph module to achieve the technical challenge of having the subdials on a diagonal work flawlessly with accuracy. The magic behind this watch like all Manometro instruments is that the lugs are hidden underneath the strap for comfort and design, separating it from their competitors and putting them in a class of their own.
My critical eye towards new brands is usually very harsh and at times not very accepting. I have worn many watches of the best watch houses all over the world and I will say that this is one that I am truly impressed with, because of the price point which is roughly $7,000, The Design, The Exclusivity, The comfort, and The Passion injected in creating this brand is one that I can relate to becuase it's very rare to see, proving that the Manometro Chrono is Diagonal and Functional at the same time.
