On 10th October 2005, Wempe Chronometerwerke celebrated its centenary. The outstanding feature of this anniversary wristwatch, which was created especially for Wempe’s 100th anniversary, is the Caliber 1872, which was built by Nouvelle Lemania, the renowned manufacturer of blank movements. Extraordinary accuracy is one this caliber’s most appealing attributes. Eighteen jewels, classic gear coupling, and a balance that vibrates 21,600 times every hour combine to guarantee precise timekeeping. The balance’s frequency enables the watch’s user to stop intervals to the nearest sixth of a second.
