Re: SEAMASTER NO MORE?

In Response To: Re: SEAMASTER NO MORE? ()

MMC,

Just a correction... Chronograph and Chronometer are derived from Greek and not Latin.

Thanks,
Anthony

: "Chronograph" - (more or
: less...)watch with push-button(s) and
: sub-dials for recording an interval of time.
: From Latin for "time writer" or
: "time recorder".

: "Chronometer" in modern usage means
: that the watch meets certain accuracy
: specifications. (Latin for "time
: measurer")

: The only reason I could think of for
: discontinuing the "Bond"
: chronograph would be a lag in sales or a
: long-term effort to unify the product lines
: for future market gains...But the truth is,
: I dunno.
: MMC
