Monopusher chronographs.....
Have you ever wanted to own or is there one in your possession?
Let's see some or hear your thoughts about them. They are not often discussed but it would be interesting to see some variety here or whether they fit in with your collecting criteria.
I have seen some nice pieces from Cartier, Roger Dubuis, UN, Patek etc. Also modern pieces from Montblanc, Rebellion etc. Do you prefer the classics or modern and would you like to see more brands re-discovering this complication with new models?
Looking forward to your views and hopefully some pics. Many thanks.

Mono-pusher Seconds
Fernando, Mine has a mono-pusher, but just has chronograph seconds (no minue or hour registers), but I really enjoy it. Bob Chronoswiss Chronoscope (CH 1523 BW) Front Chronoswiss Chronoscope (CH 1523 BW) Back...
Always!
Coaxial, or not? Without pusher? Even if it is not belonging to the Monopusher category, there is one to mention... Here we go... 1/ Coaxial ( I mean, with the pusher integrated in the crown ). IMO, the most interesting category, as it is the purest, the ...
WOW Nicolas!
You really answered my call with these superb examples! The UN, the Longines and surprisingly the Montblanc gets me drooling and of course Radone's RD is also very hot. Somehow, having the pusher on the crown gets my blood boiling. Thank you so much for t...
Thank you for mentioning my Roger Dubuis, Fernando.
I am glad that you like it. I added a few words about it as a reply to Nicolas' post.
You forgot the "monotwister" ....
... since the crown is not pushed, but twisted to operate the chronograph mechanism: Habring² COS, here in its purest variant, with central chronograph minute hand: And here with conventional minute counter at 3: Regards, Marcus...
Well: that's a surprise!
Thanks Marcus for sharing that. Monotwister.......who would have thought? And I had completely forgotten about it as it was buried in the past plethora of novelties that year. Regards, MTF
Thank you for evoking my monopusher, Nicolas!
I bought it as a surrogate for the 5070 and, after buying the latter, I ended up liking and protecting it more. With its smaller diameter, it (only) seems more fragile. It has the best anti-glare treatment I have ever seen, it almost looks as if it doesn'...
A surprise monopusher chrono
Not integral to the design, but whimsical and "just because" Paul Gerber could...the MIH monopusher chrono: With the minutes window on the back: Truly it does serve a purpose on the front as well--one can sync the central seconds and keep it running. Or i...
Not too special....
...but still works after, what 60, 70 years? Used whenever I barbeque. Oh, I forgot this one:...
Thanks for sharing these Steve.
They are more special than you think, especially when they are still serving a very useful function!
Blancpain Villeret Monopussoir...
is a particularly well-designed watch. It's based upon the Piguet/Blancpain Cal. 1185, modified to monopusher control (note the simplified column wheel with only 4 columns): It comes in steel: red gold with opaline dial... ... red gold with havana brown d...
Another fine example Magnus!
Excellent pics. to compliment this beautiful piece. Thanks fernando
An unusual but interesting idea...
to do without the pusher. Quite baffling to the uninitiated. Hope to experience it one day. Lovely pics. & watch! Thank you. F
It also has a very smooth operation...
completely negating the notion that column wheel operated chronos are inherently preferable on these grounds! Cheers, Magnus
Sorry to be late
As most of you know, I have two that have been posted some time ago. here they a reg again, together. Both have the same 045MC THB ebauche movement and I actually like these watches so much because of their close similarity to their vintage counter parts....
