Watchmaking & Precision Engineering
The watchmaking industry has long embraced automation. Exquisitely delicate components, often crafted from precious materials such as platinum or gold, must be manufactured with the utmost precision and perfection. In the luxury watch segment, however, machines still rely on human expertise. Skilled craftsmanship and sound judgement remain essential to ensuring the exceptional quality of every timepiece. To consistently meet the demanding requirements of complex manufacturing processes and the high expectations of discerning customers, metrological precision is essential at every stage of production. In other words: Schneider Messtechnik.
Schneider Messtechnik – As Precise as a Swiss Watch Movement
High-quality watches represent far more than accurate timekeeping. For many, they are treasured collector’s pieces, symbols of craftsmanship, or valuable investments. Such products demand nothing less than perfection. Schneider Messtechnik supports you in achieving these exacting quality standards with measurement technology that delivers absolute precision.
The Pinnacle of Measurement Technology
For many years, leading watch manufacturers in Switzerland and Germany have relied on Schneider Messtechnik’s measuring microscopes and coordinate measuring machines. The reasons are clear: even the smallest components – from crowns and bezels to delicate balance springs – can be inspected and measured with micrometre-level precision.
Our versatile 3D multi-sensor measuring machines, combined with the powerful SAPHIR software platform, enable precise definition of all measurement points across a wide variety of calibres, geometries and materials. This ensures maximum repeatability and consistent quality standards throughout the entire production process.
Automated reporting provides complete traceability and confidence, guaranteeing that every component is measured at exactly the same location and according to the same stringent standards. The result is reliable, reproducible measurement data – and uncompromising quality for every timepiece.
