The electric chronograph signal usually consists of a small armature (furnished with a style which marks a moving surface) moving in front of an electromagnet, the armature being suddenly pulled off the poles of the electromagnet by a spring when the circuit is broken (Journal of Physiology, 'ix.' 408).
In Vignotti's chronograph (1857) again a pendulum is employed, furnished with a metal point, which moves close to paper impregnated with ferrocyanide of potassium.

 Hanhart USA | Hanhart Dornier Chronograph
To a connoisseur of aeronautical engineering the brand new, hot from the press Hanhart chronograph is clearly reminiscent of the Dornier DoX, built in 1929 and the largest waterplane of all time.
And the result is an unmistakable pilot chronograph, whose highest technical standards correspond with those of Claude Dornier’s aircraft.
Particularly interesting for pilot chronograph freaks, who always want to avoid fuel problems during landing maneuvers: for the landing approach run under instrument flying the first seven minutes are shown very legibly on a small scale at the top of the dial.

 September 1996/A C++ Chronograph Class   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The Chronograph stores the clock value when it was stopped and uses it to adjust the start time at the next restart.
By keeping track of the clock values when the Chronograph was instantiated, when the Chronograph was stopped, and when the lap member function was last called, the Chronograph calculates elapsed and lap times as the difference between two clock values.
This function uses three Chronographs -- one to time the function as a whole, one to measure the time spent inside of comments, and one to measure the time spent outside of comments.

 www.ThePuristS.com - The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph
In the current chronograph models the chronograph's minute counter hand starts moving a few seconds before the seconds hand hits 60, whereas in the Datograph the minute counter hand jumps exactly at the moment the seconds hand hits 60.
With the 1815 Chronograph, moreover, I am glad that they were able to reduce the thickness of the case compared to the Datograph (most likely due to the lack of date mechanism), as this – in my opinion – greatly increases the watch’s wearability under a dress shirt.
Being a flyback chronograph, the top pusher is for the stop/start functions, while the lower one allows the chrono seconds hand to “fly back” back to zero once activated, without the need to stop it first.

 A Brief History of the Automatic Chronograph   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The word "chronograph," however, has become the generally used term and it would be a silly know-all attitude to use anything else.
The "chronographe (à) rattrapante," the split-second chronograph, was invented by the Austrian Winnerl (the literature is rather unanimous about that; I only mention this because someone from Perrelet once told me that it was invented by Perrelet...).
The chronograph pushers were at the classic "2" and "4" positions, the crown, however, had been mounted at the 9 o'clock instead of the usual 3 o'clock position to visibly underline the fact that the times of manual winding were over.

 The long awaited chronograph
It is also this same Patek Philippe, which, in 1902, applied for the first patent for a flyback chronograph (because of its two chronograph hands, it permits the wearer to measure or maintain the intermediate time, then to make up the lost time).
These chronograph movements, enriched over time with a perpetual calendar, then a flyback mechanism, are distinguished as much by their technical sophistication (among others, the Gyromax balance, Breguet overcoil, column-wheel) as by their aesthetic refinement (including traditional hand-bevelled bridges, column wheel with chamfered cap), earning them the honour of the Geneva Seal.
It is worth pointing out that the use of the chronograph seconds hand as a sweep seconds hand does not involve any decrease in the power reserve nor any additional wear and tear on the parts.

There are literally 100's of various chronograph movements in play today.
