Known as a a pulsometer or pulsograph, it measures heartbeats per minute on a scale of 15 to 30 heart beats. To calculate a patient's pulse, the wearer would stop the chronograph at the patient's 15th or 30th heartbeat, and the patient's pulse would then be indicated on the dial without any additional calculations necessary. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chronograph that we feature here is a pulsometer made by Girard-Perregaux. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe brand’s history of innovation, which started from its earliest days in the 1880s, includes pioneering efforts in early wristwatches. Since their beginnings, the brand has filed for over 80 patents. Watches made by Girard-Perregaux found their way to the wrists of officers in the German Navy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular chronograph, dating from roughly the 1940s or 1950s, features a pulsometer scale on the outer edge of the dial, as well as an inner telemeter scale. Oversized for the era with a 42mm stainless steel case adorned with a large onion crown, and featuring oversized chronograph registers, it’s ideal for its intended purpose. Whether you’re a doctor, a nurse, or just desire a chronograph with an unusual use, this GP has it all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Girard-Perregaux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":3963738456094,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Girard_Perregaux_Pulsations_Chronograph_AS02275_2.jpg?v=1510761209","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/girard-perregaux-pulsations-chronograph-as02275","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
