01: a serious writing instrument.

We didn't just attach a pen, pencil and stylus to 01.  We started with the highest quality, German made, ink cartridges and twist mechanisms, from-scratch pencil mechanisms. Then we crafted a device around them, that feels perfectly balanced in your hand.  Weight, feel and roll are just right, making 01 a must-have in your bag, purse or pocket.

We've been working with the manufacturers for six months now to fine tune parts, make just the right tooling and fixtures and get the assembly and testing finessed. We are days away from being able to ship.

It has your name on it
Like a great chef’s knife, a dimensioning instrument is highly personal. Whether it is a treat for yourself or a thoughtful gift, each 01 can be personalized with a signature. Simply let us know the name you'd like on your 01 and we'll create a signature, then precision laser it on the device.

SIGNATURES MUST BE REQUESTED BY SENDING AN EMAIL TO SIGNATURES@INSTRUMMENTS.COM UPON BACKING.  IF YOU DO NOT REQUEST WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE AS A SIGNATURE, WE CANNOT ETCH THE DEVICES FOR YOU.

Q: How does 01 work?

A: 01 rolls to capture dimensions of any object, then logs, converts and shares the dimensions through your mobile phone.  It contains a proprietary gear and magnet sensor system that is reading rotation and revolutions.

Q: How accurate is 01?

A: 01 uses a proprietary magnetic sensor and gear system to measure quite accurately.   Sensor is accurate up to 0.1mm, but the ultimate accuracy depends on the user.  We are working on solutions to remove the user error, but for now, the users will have to live with some small human caused tolerance, much like when they use a measuring tape.

Q: How do you measure straight on a wall?

A: Just like a measuring tape, perfectly measuring a long straight surface is hard. However, if you keep arm relatively firm, walking with some care from one end to the other, the result is surprisingly precise and consistent with what you would get from a measuring tape.  We are also working on ways to make this experience even easier.

Q: Who is 01 for?

01 is an essential tool for everyone who makes.  Designers, engineers, architects, tailors, carpenters and masons, for example.  But it’s also for the hobbyists, and even kids studying geometry, shop or physics.  If you think about it, dimensions are incredibly important.  We put up pictures, buy furniture and appliances based on size, and shop for clothes that fit best.  01 is meant to equip most of us with the most convenient, most intuitive way to capture and use dimensions every day.  It is also thoughtfully personal.  It’s crafted and elegant, and you can get your signature or initial etched.  Like a chef’s knife, this is a perfect treat for ourselves or a gift for someone we care about.

Q: Will I pay taxes or duty?

It is possible that you will pay taxes and/or duty in the country you are ordering from.  01s are shipping from assembly in Thailand.  You can check with your local authorities on taxation and duties on products imported.
