timing and everything SPORTY, VERSATILE CHRONOGRAPH WATCHES ARE THE HOTTEST WAY TO LOOK COOL IN THE STEAMY DESERT HEAT. BY ROBERTA NAAS PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFF CRAWFORD L as Vegas swelters in the summer, yet the pace doesn't slacken. Stay on the go—and on trend—without breaking a sweat with one of the latest chronograph watches. These precise and practical timepieces—from makers as diverse as "accessible" Swiss newcomer 88 Rue du Rhone, St-Tropez's flashy TechnoMarine, official NASCAR timekeeper Tissot, fashion-forward Ritmo Mundo, and the Netherlands-based chrono star TW Steel—let you time events. Meanwhile, their various dial designs (with sub-dials for measuring the hours and minutes) give them a sporty, edgy look, all for under $1,000. "Chronograph" is synonymous with "cool" this summer, and considering the quality of these watches, it will be for seasons to come.
