Here is our first mechanical hand-wound chronograph, released in 2 x 100 numbered pieces. Sporty in its essence, it adds the display of stopped times to the current time display. To create and develop it, we collaborated with the renowned manufacturer Chapal, whose history is closely linked to aviation and automobiles.

Kelton is also closely associated with motorsport. Emerson Fittipaldi, a two-time Formula 1 World Champion in 1972 and 1974 and sponsored by Timex, visited the workshops in Besançon in 1975. The name of this watch (1972) is a nod to Emerson's renown.

Since 1832, the Chapal manufactory has been part of the adventures in aviation and motorsport through its collections of bespoke leather clothing; thus, it is fitting that they produce the leather strap for our chronograph in their workshops in Crocq (Creuse).

The heart of this chronograph is a Seagull ST 1901 caliber. The beautiful stories about watches and movements usually begin in Switzerland; in this context, the precursor of the caliber that powers our chronograph was established in 1933 in Moutier at the Fabrique d'ébauches Vénus SA, which filed the first patent for a chronograph system.
