Singer Reimagined is a relatively new watch brand born directly from car culture. Part of the Singer Group, the brand is an off-shoot of sorts of Singer Vehicle Design, a well respected builder of custom Porsches. Their debut watch, the Track1 Chronograph, debuted in 2017 and used a new chronograph movement by Agenhor that places a priority on viewing elapsed time. Now, Singer is back with another new chronograph with a similar focus on tracking elapsed time, this time in quick bursts, and on demand.
