Catalogue description

Dealer description — Bulang & Sons

There have been very few new, independent watch brands to have the huge success that Furlan Marri have enjoyed over the past few years. This is an example of the brands 1940s-inspired chronograph that takes its styling cues from those wonderful Francois Borgel waterproof and anti-magnetic cases, as used in the iconic Patek Philippe 1463 and features the same ‘Tasti Tondi’ sunray pushers as the Patek. The 38mm steel case is in outstanding condition, with lovely details such as the decaganol caseback, pushers and domed sapphire glass. The blue dial has both circular brushed and vertical brushed finishes with a asthmometer (5 respirations) scale and 24 hours indications. The watch is fitted with the original Furlan Marri blue leather strap with steel buckle and comes with an additional brown leather strap. The original outer and lovely Patek-style inner box and all paperwork accompanies the watch. The mechaquartz movement has been fully serviced by our watchmaker. Get all the looks and feel of a classic ‘40s chrono in a watch that does not break the bank !

Silicon components, connected watches, optical-lattice research clocks and a thriving independent scene.

Smartwatches became the world's best-selling watches, while mechanical watchmaking focuses on craft, innovation (silicon components, new escapements) and independent makers.

Atlas type guide

Chronographs and split-seconds watches

A chronograph is a watch with an additional seconds hand that can be started, stopped and returned to zero independently of the timekeeping. Louis Moinet built an early example in 1816 and Nicolas Rieussec a recording 'chronographe' in 1821; Adolphe Nicole's heart-shaped reset cam (patented 1862) made the modern return-to-zero possible. Split-seconds (rattrapante) chronographs add a second hand that can be stopped for intermediate times; flyback chronographs restart instantly.

Chronographs were essential tools for doctors (pulsometer scales), artillery (telemeter), engineers and sport. In wristwatches, Valjoux, Venus, Lemania and later the automatic chronographs of 1969 (Zenith El Primero, the Chronomatic Calibre 11 group and Seiko 6139) are milestones.

What to look for

Push-pieces on the case band or a single button in the crown (monopusher).
Subsidiary registers for minutes and hours; tachymeter, telemeter or pulsometer scales.
Column wheel versus cam control visible in the movement.
Calibre markings of specialist makers (Valjoux, Lemania, Venus, Landeron).

Dating clues

Pocket chronographs with heart cam reset: after 1862.
Wrist chronographs: from c. 1910; two-button designs from the 1930s.
Automatic chronographs: from 1969.
