One second, I bet that if you try enough you can perfectly guess how long it takes. But do it 86,400 times consecutively and it gets much harder.
Perfection in Watchmaking demands consistency. Every part has its effect on the tick of time.
The only way to guarantee the perfect timing of the second hand, the snappy click of the clasp and the smooth gliding of each bracelet link, is by checking every interface and interaction between watch parts.
Metrology and precision manufacturing are the main disciplines that enabled me to guarantee consistency.
Metrology-grade calipers made with specialized alloys are used to ensure dimensional compliance of parts in industry-leading engine manufacturing facilities. The same rigorous parameters are applied to every part of this watch.
Such nuances are sometimes too small to be seen by the naked eye, but surely felt when worn.
Next week we’ll talk about how these technologies enabled unique design choices.
