As part of our commitment to quality, we are proud to announce that the Techné Goshawk (Ref. 411) passed testing for ISO 2281 and ISO 764 certification with flying colors.

Testing was performed on 2 stock watches by an independent laboratory:
the reputable Hong Kong Watch & Clock Technology Centre.

  • These 2 Goshawks have been found compliant with the ISO 2281 standard for water-resistance to 5 bar (equivalent to 50 static metres). You can read more about ISO 2281 testing here.
  • These 2 Goshawks have also been found compliant with the ISO 764 standard for anti-magnetic resistance to 4'800 Ampers/metre. You can read more about the ISO 764 testing here.

Testing by an independent laboratory will now be a mandatory part of the Techné Quality Control Process. We are 100% commited to providing dependable timepieces to our customers, and these ISO lab certifications are an independent and official proof that Techné watches are manufactured to meet international quality standards.

While I can’t say [...]

He spells out many of the improvements which were implemented by the watch industry from the 1920s through 1969. It’s a fun read. Click on the [...]
