another post about a chrono, what am I thinking???

Published on May 19th, 2011

For the second day in a row, I’m posting about a chronograph. Not ironically, both are chronographs, driven by the Valjoux 7750 movement. By no means a slouch, this movement drives pretty much all of the hottest chronographs.

That said, I must be growing soft in my “old” age as I’m allowing chronograph functionality, and aesthetics, to creep into my “comfort zone”… It also doesn’t hurt to have design details such as the honeycomb relief on the dial, a very unique case shape and the accent coloring of orange on the strap and fonts. Very cool look, and a true limited edition run from Saint Honore!!!

Sooooo, appreciate this chrono from Saint Honore, the Haussman Forty7-24…
