Saxon One

The chronograph has a central minute hand. Most manufacturers skip this because the engineering is harder — you need a dedicated module to drive a hand from the center of the dial instead of a subdial. Tutima built the module in-house. Caliber 521. The result: elapsed minutes are readable at a glance, the same way you read the time, without squinting at a tiny subdial. Built in Glashütte — Germany's watchmaking capital since 1845. Manufacture-quality chronograph at a price that doesn't require a five-figure decision.

In-house chronograph module. Central minute hand — no subdial needed.
