Patek Philippe Maintains Strictest Quality Control

Quality is one of the hallmarks of the Patek Philippe watch company in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded in 1836, this company manufactures some of the most valuable and rarest watches in the world. One of the ways that they maintain value is by overseeing the strictest quality control in the industry.

Every single movement and watch that leaves this factory is subjected to both technical testing and visual inspection to ensure proper rate accuracy, power reserve, winding integrity, overall appearance, and more. The average quality control testing period for a self winding watch is 1200 hours or running time.

This company also recognizes that no matter how much testing they perform, the activity level and position of the person wearing the watch will affect its accuracy. To this end, they have a program in place to allow owners of their watches to bring them in to any authorized retailer or service center for adjustment. They spare no effort to ensure the accuracy of their watches and the happiness of the owners.

When it comes to quality, handcrafted timepieces, no other firm in the world matches the rigorous criteria that must be met before a Patek Philippe watch is allowed to leave the factory.
