Jules Jürgensen fitted a simple chronograph with ratchet wheel to the bridges. The addition of the chronograph increased the price of the watch significantly, whose ébauche was made by Piguet Frères. The chronograph's second hand can be started, stopped and set to zero by pressing the pusher in the case at 12 o'clock.
