Adjusting the size of the MILANO Bracelet

Bólido X LOG

General:
The v-matic Loga features two rings with ruler like scales with divisions that become narrower with increasing number values. Starting from 1 (arrow) the scales correspond to the logarithm of the number values. The adding of two spaces results a multiplication, the substraction thereof is a division. Practically, all this is far easier, as show the following examples:

Multiplication: e.g. 2 x 4 = 8
Position the arrow of the outer ring on top of the «2» of the inner ring; read the result on the inner scale beneath the «4» of the outer ring: «8». (Photo 1)

Division: e.g. 8 : 2 = 4
Reverse the operation to the opposite: Place the «2» of the outer ring directly above the «8» of the inner ring and read the result beneath the arrow of the outer ring: «4». (Photo 2)
The divisions vary, depending on space; the number of strokes between the main numbers determine their values. Furthermore, the scales give only numbers out-put but no decimals. In other words, 1 can mean anything like 1; 10; 100; 1000 etc but also 0.1; 0.01; etc. The Calculator disk is very practical for conversions of any kind, such as miles : km, inches : mm, $ : Euro etc.
Once a rate is set, e.g. by placing the arrow of the outer ring on top of «81» (1 $ = .81 Euro), any $ amount on the outside ring can be converted into corresponding Euro on the inner ring, without further ring settings. (Photo 3)

Bólido X CD

Bólido X GMT

Example: Set the time difference of the chosen timezone to 12 o’clock (ex. +9 hours on the pictures); you can now read the second timezone on the outer ring; Dualtime on pictures is 7:08 am.
