Gallet & Co is a watchmaker that has been around since 1466. The manufacture has long been on the forefront of horological innovation, and they’ve racked up a number of impressive wristwatch “firsts”: the first waterproof chronograph wristwatch, the first wristwatch with a 28,800 BPH escapement, first wristwatch with rotating bezel and the first chronograph wristwatch with a 24-hour GMT complication. Considering how often we see these features in watches from nearly every significant brand today, one cannot overstate Gallet’s contributions to the watch industry.
The Decimal is a unique variation from the Multichron 45 series. Engineered for medical, industrial, sports and scientific applications, time recording functions are divided into minutes and tenths of minutes. The easily readable dial, featuring black Arabic numerals and red decimal track, allows for quick and precise reading.
Due to the specialised use, a relatively small numbers of this rare watch were produced
