Interesting perspective and I certainly agree...
except - there was at least one micro-rotor chronograph movement before, and it was even one of the very first automatic chronograph movements ever produced: The Breitling/Heuer/Büren Cal. 11 (image from the internet, all of them):
Of course, it lacked the refinement of the RD and it was in essence a modular movement (based upon an existing Büren micro rotor movement and an existing chronograph plate).
Its easy to recognise with crown and pushers on opposite sides (a consequence of the modular construction):

Thank you Magnus for this excellent review......
My taste has long been for the Hommage especially the Chronograph Mono-Pusher manual. But I have to say that I am more and more attracted/fascinated by the Micro-Rotors. To me it is the perfect symbiosis between the purity of a manual movement and the pra...

Interesting, thank you Magnus. Good to wake up......
