– How do vintage watches have such incredible tolerances?

788 viewsEngineeringOther

I see vintage watches repaired. When the case is opened the movements are so well-designed and engineered, with gear teeth cut to the 0.1 MM level and thin, perfect jewels. How is such mechanical precision possible from decades ago?

A mega meter is a pretty big tolerance. Or did you mean “mm”?
