Made in Glashütte: 2.8. Measuring the outer diameter

Made in Glashütte: 2.8. Measuring the outer diameter The tactile measurement of an outer diameter. In this example, it’s the tube of the hour wheel. The diameter may only deviate by a few micrometers, otherwise the hour hand won’t fit. If the tube is too small, the hand can fall off easily; if it’s too big, a blued NOMOS steel hand could even pinch the tube so that it jams. The calculation of such tolerances involves mathematics and physics in the interest of quality. The implementation, the skill involved, is often an art form. www.nomos-glashuette.com #madeinglashuette #nomos #nomosglashuette
