The telegraph, time balls, and the dials and bells of telegraph controlled public clocks, began the era of widely available precision time, and thanks to the telegraph, railway link station clocks became as precise and reliable a time standard as any other public clocks. Several inventions, however, combined to link make accurate time references even more widely available: the telephone, radio, and that link infamous corrupter of youth, the television.

In wanting to assure that I wasn't reading too far between the lines I reached out to V.J. Geronimo Oris's North American CEO and asked him why they went with the link Aquis. He said "We designed the movement link for today's world for today's consumer. Aquis is our best selling piece link across the board so we saw it as a fitting start for the Caliber 400. We created the movement from scratch and it's both innovative and high performance while offering a strong value to our customers."
