Tachymeter


This is the watch I've been wearing for years. All these times I was thinking this is just a normal chronograph watch that I can use it trace the elapse time of a moving object (e.g. 100M Sprinter, car, etc.) beside the main function of a watch.

Only until few days ago a friend of mine asked me what is the meaning of Tachymeter that written on your watch? That time, I was like Tai Chi(太极) meter??!?! My watch plays Tai Chi?!?!

Then he pointed to a small wording on the dial of my watch. Then:
Me:"ohhhhh.....that thing ah....I tak tau worr...(I don't know)....wahahahaaha...."
Friend:"Then why you wear buy it"
Me:"It is a gift wor....and I never bother about that word, I was thinking it is just something to make your watch looks complicated and expensive, in fact it has no use one."
Friend:"Do you think this brand of watch will need to use this kind of tactic to make the watch looks grand? There is sure an usage of the dial"


Actually I did ask myself what is Tachymeter during the 1st day I got this watch, but I just didn't bother to go find out. So after hearing what my friend said, I have to agree with what he said. I and rushed home to google it. Finally, I've got the answer!!!

I am not going to tell you what is the usage of it here in my blog as you can find it yourself online, else this post is just too long for reading. What I want to point out is, we should be more observant to all the things around you even some tiny little things. You might not think it is useful or worth your time to go find out at that time, but you also won't know this tiny little things might makes you look a little bid smarter than others and give you the dream job you are applying for....Think about it.....


Can you see the small Tachymeter word and some scales beside the dial?
