Category: Jewellery Making Tools

A sliding gauge in solid brass — wholly non-magnetic, so you can measure beside an open watch movement without risk to it. The notched jaws take both external and internal measurements of watch parts, beads and jewellery findings, with the dual scale reading in metric to 80mm and in inches to 3".

Adjustment is a simple friction slide worked one-handed from a raised stud — no vernier to squint at, just quick, repeatable sizing at the bench. Brass also resists corrosion, and at 80mm the tool drops neatly into a tool roll. Model engineers and electronics technicians reach for it for the same reason horologists and gemologists do: steel calipers are the wrong tool near small, magnetically sensitive components.

  • Solid brass construction is fully non-magnetic, safe for use near watch movements.
  • Dual scale is clearly marked in inches (to 3") and metric (to 80mm).
  • Notched jaws are designed for taking both external and internal measurements.
  • A simple friction slide with a raised stud allows for smooth, one-handed adjustment.
  • Compact 80mm size is well-suited for fine bench work and tool-roll storage.

Who it's for

A workshop essential for UK watchmakers, bench jewellers, and gemologists. Also favoured by model engineers and electronics technicians working with small, magnetically-sensitive components where steel calipers are unsuitable.

Ella E. ★★★★★

I’m doing fine watch and bead work, and the notched jaws on this caliper make grabbing internal and external measurements dead simple. The solid brass feels weighty and smooth, plus being non-magnetic gives me real peace of mind near a movement.

Jason T. ★★★★★

The notched jaws are perfect for getting inside a watch case without scratching anything, and the solid brass feel is much nicer than my old plastic caliper. It slides smoothly and the dual scales make quick work of measuring both beads and movement parts.

Carter ★★★★★

I was worried about magnetizing my watch movement, but this brass gauge is completely non-magnetic and lets me measure right next to it with zero issues. The 80mm dual scale is clear and easy to read for both internal and external measurements.
