The High Speed Tachymeter

The High Speed Tachymeter

This complication has been designed and patented by Brooklands Watch Company.

It requires a chronograph with a second hand that rotates once every 10 seconds. To quickly produce a demonstrator, Brooklands Watch Company bought a new production Zenith Chronomaster Sport and fitted their patented High Speed Tachymeter bezel.

This Chronograph can still time events to 1/10th of a second, but can also show the speed of a sports car, supercar or hypercar over a distance of one standing mile or one standing kilometer. The theoretical resolution is 2mph at just under 270mph.

Brooklands Watch Company are grateful to Zenith Watch Company for giving their permission for this watch to be sold for charity. This is a truly stunning and capable chronograph that is a one-off.
