Buying Guide: Full Throttle – Six of the Coolest Racing Chronographs
From the racetrack to your wrist, these six timepieces can track your lap times with precision down to the second!
The connection between watchmaking and motorsport dates back to the very origins of the sport itself. From the early days, precise timing has been essential for tracking race leaders, fastest laps, and the gaps between drivers. One highly popular and well-known complication was developed specifically to meet this need: the chronograph. It is no surprise, then, that a wealth of cool, high-performance chronographs emerge every year—which is precisely why they are a frequent feature in our weekly "Buying Guide." With so many options to choose from, we’ll walk you through some of the top racing chronographs currently on the market from industry-leading brands—including three that are closely tied to the high-octane world of Formula 1.
