Though some tout the Arithmo as the very first timepiece to incorporate a slide rule mechanism, it in truth followed the release of Mimo's Loga and the Breitling Chronomat. With that said, I'd argue that the Arithmo has a leg up on the rest, thanks to its truly wild design. link Most notably, this reference makes use of a second link convex crystal, which extends over the bezel. This detail is lost when looking at the watch in head on photos, though link at an angle its magic becomes evident.

The link mix of the brushed lugs and link the polished bezel help add some complexity to support the sector dial. In daylight, the silver is warm in coloring and has a very fine matte finish. Thankfully, for a dial that might have otherwise felt rather flat, the sub-seconds display is on an inset link subdial that helps to build a sense of depth despite the largely painted dial design.

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."
