I'm not sure why watchmakers think we have a need for stopwatches. I can't remember the last time I challenged another dude to a 40 yd dash, but that hasn't deterred the proliferation of chronographs in every color.
Chocolate brown, round-faced chronos are on my radar for weddings. They're a black watch's equally-sophisticated, less dramatic little brother. You know, the much cooler brother that everyone would rather hang with? They're as practical post-nuptuals as their metal cousins, but much less expected.
