Talk:Caliber (horology)

Untitled
I just want to know what caliber is.

The definition given explains exactly the meaning of "calibre". What is the difference between 900 in jaeger and 3500+ in rolex.

Each Ebauches factory, each Manufacture has freely chosen its identification numbering, as per their own individual codification. E.g. cars, if you want to compare similar styles, you have to refer to the professionals' analyse articles in the specialised magazines.

This article is so incomplete is like someone is talking and saying nothing.

Your remark is unfair, in the sense that you canot expect any listing of the exact definition of each calibre used in the watch industry, as no manufacturer has ever published all facts and figures, nor precise technical drawings.

If you want to know more, please refer to ETA Manufacture Horlogère SA, which has the most comprehensive listing available in the industry.

Merge this article into Movement (clockwork)?
This article contains almost no information besides the definition. Caliber refers to the size of a watch movement, so I think it should be defined in Movement (clockwork) -- Chetvorno TALK 08:27, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
