03Calibration

Five positions.
One record.

A watch keeps different time depending on how it lies. Each GAUGE spends a day in each of five positions on the timegrapher, and every rate has to land inside the band. The record goes in the box.

A GAUGE movement clamped in a steel holder on a dark bench, with the timegrapher screen, a caliper and a screwdriver around it.

A calibration only holds until something changes it. Send your GAUGE back once a year and we run the five positions again, free, against the same limit. Every fifth year it gets a full service.
