Foudroyante

Just learned about this type of chronograph. It has a subdial with jumping second hand to measure fractions of a second.

Video to see what it's all about:

New from Zenith with this feature:

Not a Foudroyante. But works in a similar way. Tag Heuer Calibre 360 running at 360,000bph. This can measure 1/100th of a second. SWEET!
