Push-button is a button that allows to activate a mechanism of the watch.
In watchmaking, it is often used to control the start and stop of a chronograph and its reset to zero, but it can also have other functions on other types of complications, for example the correction of the date sometimes made by a corrector.
Correctors are more discreet and smaller than the pushers. They are sometimes found to correct the indications of a calendar or a moon phase for example. The pusher allows more creativity in the design than a pusher.
There was a time when some designers tried to blend chronograph pushers into the design of a titanium watch for example. Other designers went the other way with pushers of different colors.
