"A Highly Accurate 1/10 Second Chronograph" by B. Humbert - Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1953 Swiss magazine. Text in the article is in English.
Quoted from the beginning of the article:
"Recently, the following two questions were put to the author regarding precision chronographs:
"1. What degree of accuracy can be obtained with a precision chronograph?
"2. Is it possible to adjust a 1/10 sec. chronograph with the same accuracy as a 1/5 sec. chronograph?
"To answer these questions we made enquiries of the firm of Ulysse Nardin, of Le Locle, whose reputation is world-wide as regards marine chronometers, deck-watches, and precision chronographs. This firm was good enough to submit for our examination a precision chronograph known as calibre 24" CCR 1/10; the casing diameter is 52.8 mm, and the movement is a 1/10 second split-seconds chronograph."
The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.
[Please note: this is a magazine article/magazine clipping only; no watch, clock, parts or tools are included.]
The article is approximately 3 3/4 pages in length (on 2 sheets of paper) and includes a couple of small black and white images within the text.
As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends.
The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
