The Evolution of Watch Certification: COSC’s ‘Excellence Chronometer’
In the world of horology, precision is paramount. The Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC), the official Swiss chronometer testing institute, is raising the bar for accuracy with the introduction of its new ‘Excellence Chronometer’ certification. This upgraded tier builds upon the existing ISO 3159 standard, reflecting the advancements in modern watchmaking.
The new standard, launching in October, demands more than just accuracy. To achieve ‘Excellence Chronometer’ status, watch movements must demonstrate:
- Tightened Precision: Maintaining accuracy within -2 to +4 seconds per day after being cased.
- Anti-Magnetic Resistance: Withstanding a 200 Gauss magnetic field without performance degradation.
- Confirmed Power Reserve: Meeting the manufacturer’s stated power reserve specifications.
This rigorous testing process, which includes robotic simulation of daily wear, positions COSC’s new standard alongside other prestigious certifications like METAS (used by Omega) and Rolex’s Superlative Chronometer specification. COSC’s commitment to individual testing – each movement is tested, not just samples – ensures the highest level of quality and reliability. You can learn more about COSC and their standards on their official website.
