    Agreed, very good read and highly recommended for any chronograph fan. The photographs reveal some truly astounding quality movements. Thanks for sharing!

    Excellent article, love finding these tidbits of informational content instead of the usual "look at my new toy!" (although you'll find me guilty of doing just that all the time). Thank you for linking it!

    Good article and beautiful eye candy with all those movement shots.

    One very small correction with regards to his description of the 321 movement - "Tri-Compax" actually doesn't refer to sub-dial layouts, but rather the number of complications (chronograph, moonphase, and calendar being the three that comprise the UG Tri-Compax models). "Compax" would technically be an apt descriptor for Speedies / the cal 321 movement (and is why UG's Compax models are simple V72 chronographs).

    Super small point, but I always was confused as to why UG Tri-Compaxes were called that despite having four sub-dials, and then I dug around to figure it out.

    Cheers - CF

    Good reading, though sad to see an old name disappear.
