the micron is a unit of measurement that is commonly used to express extremely small distances or dimensions. It is a metric unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter (1 μm or 1/1,000,000 meter). Watchmakers often use microns to specify the thickness of components, such as watch hands, dials, or even the case itself. The micron measurement allows for precise quantification of fine details and dimensions in the manufacturing and assembly of watches, ensuring accuracy and quality in the final product.
