399:"Chronograph" is a term with a very wide range of meanings, and there are probably dozens of kinds of chronographs, few of which are watches. The use of the term "chronograph" to refer to watches seems to be relatively recent (1880s?), restricted to watches with specialized "complications" for timing events, and perhaps rather inflated: there is no obvious meaningful distinction between "watch", "chronograph" or "chronometer" in advertising except that the last two sound more sophisticated. I'd say "chronograph" in reference to watches is marketingspeak, mostly, even if it's been marketingspeak for over a century. The 1911 Encyclopedia linked at "gun chronograph" has a lot of interesting, valuable, and significant history about chronograph techniques, covering chronographs not only for guns but also for physiological purposes. Chronographs have also been used in calibrating musical instruments like pianos. This article has exactly one live external reference -- to a vendor of watches. So: this article is spam. It should be completely rewritten, with "chronograph" in the sense now covered relegated to a separate, subsidiary article of some kind, or maybe simply redirected to the article about watches.

I am not an expert but I believe that automatic chronographs are powered by a capacitor or rechargeable battery (which doesn't need to be replaced). The same power source powers timekeeping. The power source is charged by piezoelectric quartz witch derives energy from the wearers movements. Someone

History we have this: "The automatic chronograph was invented in 1969 by..." and there's a section dedicated to Automatic Chronograph. No where in this article is there a definition of the term. As a layman, I have no clue what an automatic chronograph is - let alone how the original,

in 1695. Chronograph originally meant a stopwatch with a little pen which marked the time interval. Without that little pen, "chronograph" is an overpriced word for an overpriced stopwatch; nothing more. Yes this article is largely spam for those who sell overpriced stopwatches.

a chronograph is a thing that you use in paintball by putting the tip of your gun on it and shooting your gun and it tell you how many feet per second your gun is shooting at. (this previously unsigned comment -- 17:50, 4 March 2006 65.33.75.169)
