Regulator – The most beautiful way to display time Precision pendulum clocks kept the exact time for several months in observatories. It was at this time that precise time measurement was made available to the general public. The accurate time was measured by observatories, who then distributed the information to the public via clocks mounted on the town hall building, in the train station, or high up on a church steeple. Precision pendulum clocks are a model for accuracy and perfection. They gave birth to the grace and aesthetics of today's typical regulator dials and inspired us in the design of our wristwatch collection.
