Stress-Free Luxury Time

Pay-over-time promotions have been popular for close to a century since the 1930’s, when many retailers offered consumers Layaway promotions on high-ticked items.

One advantage to this practice is that no interest is normally charged to the buyer.

Chronograph watches offer a rich heritage in time-keeping excellence. The very first chronograph was introduced in 1816 by Louis Moinet for use in the tracking of astronomical objects. In the next half-century chronographs evolved to record time. A true chronograph is one that has independent stop-watch and display watch functions. The term comes from the Greek terms for time: “chronos” and writing: “graph.” The term is interpreted more today about the recording of time rather than writing.  In 1882, Edouard Heuer patented one of the first time-keeping chronograph pocket watches.
