Watchmaker’s caliber extraordinaire



The world of watches is becoming increasingly intricate and there is no reason to doubt the veracity of this statement as it is fitting and in sync with the complex movements of watchmaking. In watchmaking 'caliber' term is used to indicate the movement or the mechanism of calibers. Mechanical watches or timepieces to be exact have clockwork movements that consist of many moving parts. It is an intricate dance and to the passionate watchmaker it is keeping time dancing to the melody and rhythms of the gods of time. 



This philosophy of calibers has been put into practice by renowned watch movement designers such as Mark Braun who designed the world famous Metro wrist watch featuring NOMOS swing system. Nomos make high-end watch movements and the interesting bit to note here is that Nomos is manufactured in a small village of 7000 inhabitants called Glasshutte in former GDR (that is East Germany to the uninitiated or to the millennials). This village in Free State of Saxony has the following watch manufacturing enterprises

·         Glasshutte
·         Lahnge & Sohne
·         Bruno Sohnle Uhremnatelier Galshutte
·         Nomos / Wempe Chronometerwerke
·         Tutims
·         Moritz Grossmann
·         and Union Glasshutte

The watch aficionado will recognize most of these high end watch brands and the watch world is watching with interest as the Swiss citadel of watchmaking excellence is under threat. 



The happy news for watch lovers is having acquired a high-end watch it is possible to get the timepiece serviced in England by professionals who are as adept as Mark Braun. One such enterprise is Perpetual Time who brings to the horological table passion that transcends even Time. A quick reading of Perpetual Time reviews will inform the most discerning that the rarest of chronometers is in the most capable hands of Perpetual Time and will keep perfect time after they have serviced it. The horological Gods guarantee it. Most Perpetual Time reviews agree to this statement as evidenced by sincere appreciation for the excellent service of their watches.
