After the two week test period, the sensor watch is returned to De Bethune and the data is sent to the De Bethune Chronometry Workshop in Switzerland, where the company has built a robotic arm inside an atmospheric chamber. The arm can accurately recreate the customer’s recorded movement patterns, as well as the environment where they live. This allows the company’s technicians to fine tune and calibrate the timepiece’s components and perform additional testing, to ensure its timekeeping capabilities will be as accurate as possible for its new owner.
