I may now have doubts, but it is still exciting news...
Nonetheless I am now starting to wonder of the point of this new Seal's enactment exactly. There was no mention of the Seal being available to all, leading me to presuppose that PP is simply putting an official name to its quality and reliability? Of course when Mr Stern stated that "top management" would be empowered to regulate this new Seal, and that both himself and Thierry (again stated in the interview) would be responsible for the compliance of these 'new standards', leads me to question the validity and thus credibility of this Seal. Even if the Seal were open to others would you actually believe that respected high-end brands would wish their top products to be assessed by a competitor?

The seal has no logic, as everyone has already stated. They have their name on the dial, buckle, movement, case, its all over the place. That is their seal of quality. In the long run, this move will hurt them as quality could fall and still the seal woul...
I totally agree.

No logic at all....just marketing arrogance. It has actually put me off a bit. In this aspect I prefer the Journe attitude of "my watches are accurate and highly finished enough for me - so I don't need to subscribe to any external services, seals or test...

Personally, I don't care about the seal, either of them. What I care about is to see the Patek-Philippe mark on the dial.. and that the watch is performing the way a Patek should, the way that Antoine Patek and Adrien Philippe would want it to be..the bes...
