Their chronographs of the 1930s and 1940s represent the pinnacle of chronograph production. This excellence in timekeeping is typified in the minds of collectors by the 13ZN. Released in 1936, the 13ZN was the first chronograph wristwatch to feature a flyback function, which allows the wearer to reset the chronograph without having to stop it first. Upon its release, the 13ZN became a favorite among aviators, who used the feature for navigation, and has gained something of a cult status among modern collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut while the 13ZN has certainly gained a respectable following, there are other early chronographs by Longines that deserve consideration--not just because of their rarity. They, like the 13ZN, represent an era when achievements in horology reached their zenith, marrying traditional designs with the cutting-edge technology of the day. The Longines monopusher or chronostop combines two elements that Longines did well, yet rarely put together: a central-minutes counter and a single pusher.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe single or monopusher chronograph is a holdover from the days when watches were carried in the pocket, not worn on the wrist. The origin of the chronograph in pocket watches is disputed, but it's known that master French watchmaker, Louis Moinet, produced a stopwatch-like timepiece in 1816. These early pocket-bound chronographs all bore a single pusher that starts, stops, and resets the chronograph function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLongines bears the distinction of producing the first chronograph wristwatch in 1913. This watch carried within its modest 29mm case the Calibre 13.33Z, precursor to the celebrated 13ZN. Longines capitalized on this innovation two decades later with the development of the flyback chronograph in 1936. Without the addition of another pusher to reset the chronograph, the chronograph simply could not be reset without stopping it first--until the flyback chronograph made that a reality. Prices on these early 13ZN chronographs have climbed into the stratosphere, and furor to find and own one has reached such a fever pitch that a collector in search of a vintage chronograph from Longines may throw up their hands and look no further... and yet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the 13ZN was gaining a following among aviators, Longines also had another chronograph movement in its arsenal. The Calibre 12.86Z, based on the Calibre 12L, debuted around the same time as the 13ZN, if not shortly after, and can be found in Longines watches from the 1940s on. A monopusher chronograph movement, the 12.86Z — like the 13ZN — also features a flyback mechanism, but also has a central minutes counter in blued steel addition to the central seconds hand and sub-register at 6 o'clock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design, similar to the Omega Chronostop, is perfect for timing multiple events at once. While more primitive and perhaps not as utilitarian as the more popular double pusher system (which Breitling developed in 1934), the Longines monopusher chronograph — or chronostop — is certainly attractive, and rare to find in great condition as the one we have here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece features a 32.5mm stainless steel case, a correct unsigned crown, single pusher at 2 o'clock and a white dial that has patinated to a creamy tone. The dial features printed Arabic indices, a matching blued-steel handset, a subsidiary seconds display at 6 o'clock and a tachymeter scale bordering the dial's periphery. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Longines Chronostop is a fantastic call-back to the watches we started offering over 10 years ago, so seeing one grace the website makes us a bit nostalgic.

Unlike during race on dry ground, in a regatta, boats are unable to start a race from a dead stop — short of anchoring, there's no way for them to be perfectly still.
