Either Practice or Effort
pmh6000,
General statement: You become good at something with either practice or effort.
So, brands like Rolex that make 700,000 chronometers a year get good at it.
Or watchmakers that invest more time (sic) and effort in adjustments get the same results.
Remember the 1960s when a small Japanese maker beat the entire Swiss watchmaking community at Observatory Chronometer Contests until they were "dis-invited" from further participation? Then they started the "quartz revolution" and nearly killed the Swiss industry 😜
My St Gallen All Black Rescue Purists edition came out of the box with chronometer specification because it used an ETA movement straight from factory.

No one doubts ETA’s quality.
But I guess there is a stigma when high end brands use them.
In terms of accuracy ...
... it is very difficult to make a plain statement like this. Generally, nearly every series produced watch mvoement can be built and regulated to excellent (chronometry) values, or spoilt with bad accuracy performance. This is not connected to the manufa...
Upscale timepieces
While I am on a rant today the cost of stainless steel watches from PP, VC, AP and a few others reaching $30,000 and above is just insane in my opinion. I realize the so called hand made and hand finished story line but who is kidding who. The prevailing ...
I have 2 ball watches using eta movements.
They are accurate but the power reserve is less around 35 hours max , base on my experience. Luxury brands use there own movements. Or they modify an eta movement to conform to their quality. Definitely enjoy what is straped on your wrist. Geross.
