The Geneva Seal, or Poinçon de Genève, is not merely a decorative emblem but a rigorous certification of quality and craftsmanship for watch movements. Established in 1886, it guarantees that a watch movement was made, assembled, and regulated in the Canton of Geneva, adhering to strict aesthetic and technical criteria. This includes specific finishing techniques for every component, ensuring both beauty and precision, making it one of the most demanding certifications in horology.
