Chronograph "Valjoux 7767" (Pre-loved) - 19B592CW Yachttimer
A real yacht timer – an absolute rarity
The highlight of this show is our yacht timer, whose unique function is appreciated by sailing enthusiasts. Unlike racing, where the boats remain stationary until the starting signal, sailing has what is known as a "flying start": the boats are already moving for a certain amount of time before they cross the starting line - and this makes it particularly difficult for the participants to cross the starting line precisely. Crossing too early costs time penalties, crossing too late gives the opponent a valuable lead. To ensure that the boat crosses the line as precisely as possible at the starting signal, acoustic and visual signals are given at predetermined times before the start, which the participants use as a guide.
The countdown on this clock begins 15 minutes before the time is taken and therefore before the actual start. The display shows the first 10 minutes as numbers from 10 – 1 and the last 5 minutes with the word START. The start time is reached when the word can be read in full on the display.
For the collectors among you: This watch is equipped with a new, original Valjoux 7767, a caliber that has only been built a few thousand times worldwide and is therefore hard to find new.
If you would like to learn more about the function and history of regatta chronographs, I would like to recommend an entertaining report by Thomas Gronenthal, who put our watch through its paces.
