Chronograph: The chronograph function is a mechanism for measuring time intervals. A chronograph watch can therefore be used to time events while displaying the time like any traditional watch.
Chronometer: Label given to a watch which has undergone precision tests and received a certificate from an official body (COSC).
Limited edition: A series of watches whose production run is determined in advance of production and limited to a set number.
Small seconds: A hand on a sub-dial which tracks seconds typically it completes a full rotation in one minute.
