Joray & Wyss 80 years Hors-Série

As is often true in the history of watchmaking, it’s the players in the supply chain who drive the evolution of tools and machines. Either they invent them because they can’t find any on the market, or they co-develop or improve those offered to them, much to the delight of the big established manufacturers.

This “concentricity tester” was developed and perfected by the company founded in 1941. A measuring tool that demonstrates that ultimate precision is one of the main paths to Swiss watchmaking excellence.
