1934 Telechron
In 1934 the second pusher on a chronograph watch was invented, for quicker resetting, marking the 2.0 of chronograph watches.
The Telechron is as well the 2.0 chronograph of About Vintage, featuring a telemeter scale for measuring the distance of sound, as well as date and stopwatch functions.
With clear references to vintage watchmaking, paired with modern technology, this is very much the essence of About Vintage.

THE DESIGN
When we drew the first lines of the 1934 Telechron, we wanted a watch that encapsulated the vintage elegance, yet held up to modern times' need for durability and usability.
Therefore, the face of the watch features a classic leveled dial, with sword hands and subtle coloring, and combined with square pushers and a 42mm case, this watch features the best of both worlds.
A classic yet contemporary watch.
THE TELEMETER FUNCTION
The telemeter scale has been used in chronograph watches for close to 100 years, so it is not anything new. However, it is not as common as the tachymeter scale, used to measure speed over a known distance. The telemeter, however, is probably more usable in daily life, but what does it actually do?
A telemeter scale is used for measuring distances in sound. With the telemeter scale a distance can be measured due to a visible and audible event, e.g. during a thunderstorm. The division on the dial is based on the speed of sound in air (340 meters per second). Start the hands in the moment when you see the flash, and stop it when you hear the thunder. The hand tells you how far away the storm is.
PERSONALISATION
Make it yours with a personal engraving on the caseback or an extra strap for a new look. Choose between our three new Cordura straps, all padded with soft leather on the inside for ultimate comfort, our classic italian leather straps or what about our nato straps, made from recycled plastic?
NEW LOOK IN SECONDS
NO TOOLS NEEDED
All our watches are made with a quick release system for the straps and bracelet. This means, you can easily change between straps or bracelets, to give your watch a whole new look. Pop on the silicone strap for sport activities and change it to the beautiful Italian leather strap for the night out.
