GP TOTW 26

A watch is subjected to days on end of tests. A Girard-Perregaux ww.tc chrongraph watch, for instance, undergoes twenty-one successive tests.

The testers wind up the watches, check the rate, water resistance, operate the push-pieces, pull out the crown stem, turn the hands to check thier alignment, make a date change, set the time, check the height of the hands, turn the city ring, activate the chronograph, etc.

The attention paid to each piece extends to the precautions taken to preserve the components in conditions of perfect quality between production stages.
