This Office is supervised by a sworn-in commission composed of members that have been appointed by the government of the canton. * The calibre must be approved and officially recognized by the Office for the Voluntary Inspection of Watches from Geneva (Bureau de Contrôle Facultatif des Montres de l’Etat de Genève). * Each calibre must meet twelve technical and aesthetic criteria outlined in the regulations, which have a bearing on its design and characteristics as well as the quality of the manufacture and finishes. * The movement must be mechanical and, at a minimum, assembled and adjusted in the canton of Geneva.
Three prerequisites determine the award of the Geneva Seal: This stamp seals the installation of Cartier Watch-Making in Geneva, where its master craftsmen have developed and crafted the calibre 9452 MC* that now bears this certification.Ĭreated in the 19th century by a guild plagued by counterfeit products, the Geneva Seal is currently considered to be the symbol of watch-making perfection.Įnacted into law in 1886, the Geneva Seal is probably one of the oldest professional labels, recognized both as an indication of independent origin and a guarantee of superior quality. The House of Cartier has joined a select group of watch manufactures certified to display the Geneva Seal.
