More about this Aureole Chronograph
A vintage Swiss chronograph
Aureole is a Swiss name known for mechanical chronographs. This one is hand-wound, with a 17-jewel Incabloc movement of the Landeron or Valjoux type that powers the two-register chronograph, the classic mid-century Swiss stopwatch layout.
We check that the chronograph starts, stops and resets cleanly and confirm the caliber from the movement in store.
Using the chronograph
The pushers start, stop and reset the central seconds and the 30-minute register, so you can time events to the second. It is one of the most engaging vintage complications to own.
