“I thought that the more thoroughly I tried to reestablish a “real” chronograph,
the more beautiful it would be.
I removed unnecessary elements to isolate the pure chronograph and found
that lines and numerals became more conspicuous as they are in musical scores and mathematical formulas.
“Pure lines and numerals exist beyond time, place, and gender.
This is the image of the chronograph I was looking for, a chronograph of lines and numerals: “C”.
