Barometers Realm

The dial includes a decorative inscription adorned with delicate curls, indicating that the barometer readings have been adjusted to sea level. This attention to detail not only adds a touch of artistry but also emphasizes the instrument's accuracy in providing reliable readings across different elevations.

Inside the barometer, the heart of the mechanism lies in Vidi’s thick aneroid capsule. The capsule is notable for its precision and sensitivity, which is enhanced by an innovative movement transmission mechanism. This original system uses a sector gear that operates within what is known as a conventional continental cantilever-type movement. This arrangement, situated between twin plates, ensures that the subtle expansions and contractions of the capsule are accurately converted into readable dial movements.

The barometer’s construction and mechanism reflect a deep commitment to both functionality and craftsmanship. The brass case provides a solid protective exterior, while the internal components showcase a mastery of engineering. This combination of aesthetic design and mechanical ingenuity makes this barometer not just a tool for weather forecasting but a piece of practical art that speaks to the legacy of continental craftsmanship.
