Sample pieces

Just to be on the safe side, we always assemble 10 sample pieces that will be submitted to our client. This way the client can check that everything meets his expectations.

Working process

Our working process is developed in sequence.
This way we can have fast working times and skilled, trained and qualified staff.
The pieces are handmade, posing of the dial and hands.
At the same time a quality control of the single components is carried out during these stages.

Proper functioning control

Quartz movement watches are checked at least for 48hours, on both sides.

Automatic selfwinding movements are handwinded and controlled at full energy.
The second check is made 24 hours after the piece is closed, in order to establish its correct functioning.
