Nearly four hundred years later, in 1826, Julien Gallet registered the name Gallet et Cie for his watchmaking company and relocated to La Chaux-du-Fonds. From then on, the company only started to expanded, even into the United States, becoming one of the best-known names in watchmaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eGallet achieved an impressive number of impressive wristwatch “firsts,\" including the first waterproof chronograph wristwatch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eOf the many watches produced by Gallet in the 20th century, the MultiChron chronographs are some of the most significant and collectible today. Although they are refined and stylish, they were initially intended as tool watches for military and industrial professionals. The MultiChron 12H, so named for its third register and capability of recording up to twelve hours, found use in aviation, motorsports, and military applications, as the easily readable dial, black Arabic numerals and colored outer scales, allow for quick and precise reading.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gallet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12628869546071,"sku":null,"price":2800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Gallet_AS02793__5.jpg?v=1537458654","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/gallet-dual-register-chronograph-as02793","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
