{"product_id":"wakmann-triple-calendar-chronograph-as02533","title":"Wakmann Triple Calendar Chronograph","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn watchmaking, anything that shows more than the hours, minutes, and seconds is considered to be a complication. Throughout horological history and on to the present day, complications have been a watchmaker’s way of showing his or her expertise. From the simple—such as a date window—to the intricate (for example, a perpetual calendar), complications are as delightful as they are complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAmong complications, a triple calendar is perhaps the most popular—particularly when combined with a chronograph. Employed by manufactures from all spectrums of the industry, from the top tier (such as Patek Philippe) to the mid-range, the triple calendar chronograph is as ubiquitous as it is visually appealing. Nowhere else is so much information displayed with such grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWhile certain examples can trend toward the dressy, those made by Breitling and its subsidiary, Wakmann, are sportier iterations that today’s collectors particularly love. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eStarting in the 1940s, Breitling released the Datora, a chronograph that showed both the day and the date as well as the month. The model was a success, and the design was used by other manufactures, including Heuer. But it was under Breitling’s U.S.-based distributor, Wakmann, that the most popular variant of triple calendar chronograph was produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eWith a distinctive black and white dial, this triple calendar chrono oozes 1960s sporty appeal. This is brought home by the size of the Gigandet case—a whopping 39mm, making it a “jumbo” variant. On a black “rally” style strap, it has all the right stuff to get you through the day… or week… or month.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wakmann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":8098796830807,"sku":null,"price":4150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/Wakmann_Triple_Calendar_Chronograph_Jumbo_AS02533_1.jpg?v=1522699816","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/wakmann-triple-calendar-chronograph-as02533","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
