Launched in 2004, the DOUBLE SPLIT is the world’s first and only mechanical chronograph with a double-rattrapante function. It features two pairs of stopwatch hands that can run together as well as separately. For the first time, they allow time comparisons, lap-time and reference-value measurements as well as fastest/slowest measurements of events that last up to 30 minutes.
The long, narrow sweep hand measures seconds and fractions of a second. The minutes that have elapsed are indicated by the respective precisely-jumping minute counter hand in the subsidiary dial on the right.
With the Double Split, times can be stopped to an accuracy of one-sixth of a second. Accordingly, the minute scale is subdivided into six intervals per second. Moreover, the peripheral tachometer scale allows speeds to be measured in kilometres per hour over a distance of 1000 metres.
