Caliber III – The movement Based on our Caliber I and with the same respect for traditional watchmaking and its aesthetic quality, we constructed the Caliber III for our model „Moritz“. Although the two movements look very similar we have still made some modifications. The distance from the minute wheel to the second wheel is downsized to 9 mm in order to gain big supply dials for the additional indications. We also reconstructed the winding mechanism so that the date, the month and the declination indication can be set as fast as possible with the help of a third crown position. The complete mechanism for the calendar indication is carried by an additional plate which is only 1,5 mm in height. One of the specialities that is not immediately visible is the rapid change of the date and the day of the week which is activated at midnight exactly. Thus, an inconvenient, longlasting change of date is avoided on the one hand, and on the other hand there is no problem with the setting of the calendar throughout the day. Another convenience for the setting of the calendar is the day-/ night indication underneath the centre at the right-hand side. Between 6 am and 6 pm the golden half and between 6 pm and 6 am the blued half of the 24 hour wheel is visible.
