The Geneva Seal Website Is Live
The famous Hallmark of Geneva finally has its own website.
The Hallmark of Geneva is a watchmaking certification—the oldest in the world—issued by an independent body under state supervision. It underwent a major “2.0” update in 2011 to bring it into line with technical developments and ensure it was no longer limited solely to workmanship criteria dating back to 1886, notably through the introduction of tests on the finished watch (functions, water resistance, accuracy, power reserve, etc.).
Who issues the Hallmark of Geneva?
The Fondation du Laboratoire d’Horlogerie et de Microtechnique de Genève (TIMELAB) is mandated by the State to issue the famous Hallmark of Geneva.
Which brands are certified by the Hallmark of Geneva?
Today, the brands entitled to bear the Hallmark of Geneva are Chopard, Cartier, Roger Dubuis and Vacheron Constantin.
Since 1886, more than one million watches have been certified.
