#4I just have to point out that the Vallée de Joux (namesake of the Valjoux movement) is a beautiful spot in Switzerland that is located such that very few foreign tourists ever go there. Definitely worth the visit.

#5The ETA 2836 is another very common self-winding movement.

#6Dunno how it can be considered a "chronograph" when it has a lever escapement.

A chronograph is any watch with a stopwatch complication. I'm really not sure what your concern with a lever escapement is, as this is used on almost all mechanical watches.

A chronograph has a chronograph or detent escapement. The purpose of which is eliminate the sliding friction in the escapement and variability caused by viscosity change in lubrication with temperature.
I never heard that a stopwatch makes a watch a chronometer. That sounds like a marketing gimmick.

Ahould your original post read “chronometer” instead of chronograph? I also understand chronograph to mean a stopwatch complication, which is different from a chronometer certification.
