Kalpa Tonda 39 Qualité Fleurier Ref. PF600316.01

QF certification consists of five requirements: two are stipulations regarding the place of manufacture quality of materials, while the remaining three are actual trials.

First, the watches must be "entirely designed, produced, assembled and tested in Switzerland, with each component accompanied by a certificate of origin. This criterion substantially exceeds the requirements of the widely used 'Swiss Made' label, which can be met without meaningful testing provided 60% of the watch head has been produced in Switzerland."

Second, only traditional materials may be used (plastics and other synthetics are forbidden ).

Third, the movement is certified by the C.O.S.C as a certified chronometer.

The fourth and fifth tests are the Chronofiable test and the Fleuritest. The first of the two simulates six month's wear and tear, including manipulation of the crown and pushers (if any), as well as reliability under exposure to magnetism, moisture, and shocks. The Fleuritest is a 24-hour simulated wear test, using a unique machine that simulates the movement of a watch through the day in daily use; to pass, accuracy must be within a tolerance of 0/+5 seconds per day.

Warranty & Authenticity:
We stand by the quality of all of our pre-owned watches and mechanical objects. If something goes wrong, we’ll always strive to remedy the situation in a timely manner and to the best of our ability. The satisfaction and trust of our clients is of the highest importance, to everyone at Greenwich Time.

All of our pre-owned watches have undergone non-invasive mechanical inspections to ensure they are operating correctly and to ensure that they meet our standards of timekeeping and functionality.

Our pre-owned watches, unless stated otherwise, are covered by either a full or a limited twenty-four month warranty. This excludes any and all damage or mechanical failure sustained to the watch due to improper use or incident. Due to their age, some pre-owned watches should not be subjected to the same conditions they were rated to when they where new.
