COSC Chronometer Certification
When a mechanical Swiss watch fulfils the best technical specifications, one ultimate way to heighten its value is the neutral Chronometer certification by the independent COSC institute (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres).
This incorruptible certification is awarded to watch-movements that successfully undergo a 10-days test of precision and reliability at high and low temperatures and in 5 different positions. Every COSC Chronometer is individually numbered so that it can be traced back. Only 6% of the entire Swiss watch production qualify as COSC Chronometers.
