One of the most famous chronographs in recent history has been the Wakmann Triple Date chronograph. To this day, it is highly collected and sought after by many for its looks and its history.
The name Gigandet does not typically ring a bell to some. Charles Gigandet owned and operated a watch store in New York City called Wakmann in the mid 1950’s. The store distributed many brands at the time like Breitling and Vulcain and that is when I think this chronograph was born. It is also one of the rarest variants in the triple date library of Wakmann/Gigandet.
It has the whatever the Wakmann Triple Date had -triple register/sub dials, a day and month function below the logo and the separate hand for the date. The only real difference is the movement (also signed as Vulcain) and logo. The movement is where the line separates as the Valjoux 730, the one that is in this watch, was an updated version to the popular Valjoux 72c (“c” of calendar) that the early Gigandet and Wakmann triple date watches were famous for. Instead of running at 18,000 bph (Valjoux 72c), the 730 ran higher at 21,600 bph for better accuracy.
