32 | CALIBER I I I – THE MOVEMENT CALIBER III FOR MORITZ Based on our CALIBER I and with the same respect for traditional watchmaking and its aesthetic quality, we constructed the CALIBER III for our MORITZ. Although the two movements look very similar we have still made some modification. The distance from the minute wheel to the second wheel is downsized to gain room for additional indications on subdials. 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 specialty which is not immediately visible is the rapid change of the date and the day of the week that is activated at midnight exactly.
