About Us
Wndsn's Applied Science Lab, based in Berlin, develops and manufactures low-tech, high-utility tools and instruments with the objective of providing or enhancing "that, which can't be improvised" in low-probability, high-impact scenarios where it is most needed, yet usually unavailable or non-permissive. The resulting products are measurement, calculation, and exploration instruments informed by the motto "Ex Mensura, Scientia" -- knowledge from measurement.

Wndsn Telemeters
Low tech, high utility graphical distance & altitude computers.
Wndsn Telemeters are simple observational tools for measuring angles via various inputs combined with a number of means to directly process the acquired values.
In the face of potential high-frequency disturbances, low tech becomes valuable as a backup or main tool. Our distance & altitude nomographs revive ancient technologies and unite them for the first time in low tech, high value instruments.
Our current flagship, a multitool for emergency navigation, for training and education, as a visualization tool or to get a second opinion; the Wndsn Quadrant Telemeter is a naked-eye observation powerhouse of critical functions in one durable, low tech, high utility instrument that can be brought anywhere and belongs in every instructor's and survival kit.
