The New WNDSN Aluminum Telemeter for any Wallet

BERLIN, 2024-02-14 -- The first WNDSN Telemeter in 2016 was printed on plastic card stock, like a credit card. Ever since, some users missed the ease of simply slipping their Telemeter into their wallets.

The latest Telemeter out of the WNDSN lab is made out of aluminum and is once again as thick as a credit card, ~1 mm (3/64") to be specific. Similar to the technique that is proven in thousands of WNDSN Dog Tag Telemeters, WNDSN uses anodized aluminum and laser-engraves the scales by burning through the anodizing layer, revealing the naked metal, which, in the first batch of aluminum Telemeters has a golden tint to it, reminiscent of the old CNC-engraved WNDSN brass instruments.

As opposed to WNDSN's acrylic instruments, which are extremely robust and almost indestructible in day-to-day field use, the aluminum as well as its anodizing is susceptible to scratches and patina over time.

Specifications:

  • Dimensions: 3.4" x 2.2" (85,6 x 53,98 mm)
  • Thickness: ~1 mm (3/64")
  • Material: Anodized aluminum, laser engraved
  • Developed and Made in Germany
