LINGE SIZE CONVERSION
Linge is a traditional unit of measurement used in watchmaking and clockmaking to describe the diameter of a movement. It originated in old French measurement systems (also historically used in France for buttons, ribbons, and other small goods) before the metric system was standardized.
