Each movement is subjected to meticulous inspection, both electronic and optical measuring devices are used with the aim of finding any discrepancies that could interfere with the precision or function of the movement: tests include shock resistance tests, temperature tests, anti-magnetic tests, static discharge, sun rays tests and dynamic tests. In addition, vibration, intensity, artificial sweat tests and humidity tests are carried out to ensure that only flawless products leave the facility.

Once the virtual design of the movement has been completed and approved, the next phase of prototyping is carried out by our in-house specialists. We manufacture a series of movement component prototypes from which the first complete movements will be built. These are then subjected to exhaustive tests designed to uncover possible functional shortcomings and material weaknesses. This process will be continued until all deficiencies have been corrected.

This first phase of creating movements is entrusted to design experts in the field of Computer-Aided Design (CAD), a technology which allows designs and technical drawings to be displayed in two and three dimensions. With the help of highly efficient computational methods, the precise architecture of each component can be determined long before a prototype is built.
