Manual Wind Chronometers (COSC or better accuracy!) - can we see yours?
Nico was lamenting the lack of manual wind chronometers nowadays. I am fortunate to have three (at least) and would like to see what others have in the collections. Cazalea Credor 18K Chronometer, Glashutte Original 18K Chronometer, BlancpaiN SS Chronomet...
Certainly a fine and accurate watch -- certified better than COSC
I guess I opened a Pandora's box with the question asking SHOW ME YOUR MANUAL WIND CHRONOMETER which I have since retitled. (I will blame the initial wording on Amanico). To open the box even wider, only SWISS watches can be COSC certified today, but at t...
I've seven, all . . .

Testing doesn't result in better accuracy for an individual watch (except to remove it from the herd being shipped out to dealers)
Most watches, most of the time, most companies ( going out on a limb here ) are constructed using a combination of mechanized and human assembly of lots of small parts. They might be partially assembled, dismantled, then reassembled, adjusted, etc. The fi...
Thank you for your nicely illustrated answer!
Indeed Quallty Management does not necessarily mean high performance! Best, É.
