A word about C.O.S.C. applied to watch quality:
Extrapolated from an article in WatchTime Mag April 2011… “ COSC stands for the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometer –  despite the official sounding name the COSC is not a government agency”.  “Founded in 1973 as a means of supporting the Swiss mechanical watch industry which was starting to feel the effects of competition from the makers of cheaper quartz-driven timepieces from the Far East; The non-profit, COSC is financed entirely by income generated from the fees it charges watch manufacturers for testing their movements”.  “It has a commercial objective to promote the Swiss chronometers.”  “Movements are check for accuracy in a five position and three different temperatures for a period of 15 days.”  “In the year 2009 Rolex submitted 607,512 movements, Omega 187,558, Breitling 108,220 and Tag Heuer 70,195.”  The article continues by stating that in 2009 the number of tested movements fell by 27% - It is hard to imagine how vast a task this would be.  Earlier in the article it stated that the COSC is staffed by only 20 employees.  The 300 d.freemont watches that received the COSC certification are finally checked by the designer before shipping.  All d.freemont watches are checked and recalibrated to the designers tolerances before shipping to the customer if not previously certified by the COSC.
