Automatic Chronograph
The first automatic chronograph was invented and patented by the manufacturer now known as Tag Heuer in 1969. This watch was the first one ever to be equipped with an automatic movement system. Later other watches from the same series—the Carrera Calibre was produced with an automatic chronograph. A few years later brands like Rolex and Omega also patented their own automatic chronograph systems.

Famous quotes containing the word automatic:
“What we learn for the sake of knowing, we hold; what we learn for the sake of accomplishing some ulterior end, we forget as soon as that end has been gained. This, too, is automatic action in the constitution of the mind itself, and it is fortunate and merciful that it is so, for otherwise our minds would be soon only rubbish-rooms.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
