Tissot S.A. Swatch Group in Le Locle is the winner in the "Classic" category. Louis Moiet takes the third place.
The winner in the school category is Mr Mathieu Douik. The announcement of the results took place on Thursday, October 24th, 2013 at the Musee de Temps in Besançon.
The 38 competing exhibits filed by 17 companies (including 14 Swiss, two French and one German) and three watchmaking schools were submitted from May 30th to three sets of measurements carried out in the official certified laboratories of the Besançon Observatory and the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute in Biel as well as undergoing particularly severe magnetic fields and shocks at the Haute Ecole Arc in Le Locle.
The tests require that in order to qualify, watches must meet the international "chronometer" standard three times in succession with exposure to intense shocks and magnetic fields after the second series of tests and all this without any intermediate adjustment. This difficulty has not been reduced since the creation of this contest.
There was excellent participation in the "Classic" category which saw 20 pieces competing. 12 of them passed all three tests to be in the running for the three places on the podium awarded to those with the best marks which are then announced. The winners were Tissot S.A. for the first 2 places (878 and 850 points out of 1000) and Louis Moinet S.A. (728 points).
In "Tourbillon" (7 participants in all), Les Ateliers L. Leroy S.A.S. won the prize with 794 points, while most of the others did not stand up to the ordeal of shocks and magnetism.

WORLDTEMPUS - 8 July 2011

When the winner of the first chronometry competition held since 1967 was announced, it was big news in the watch world. Testing one watch's accuracy over that of another had not been accomplished in more than 40 years, thanks in great part to the unquestionable hold that quartz has over mechanical systems.
The watch world seems to be recovering nicely from the economic recession, and the desire for such a fundamental - and fun - technical competition begun in days of yore has once again emerged.

While in the premier competition held in 2009, only 16 watches divided into two categories (companies and independent watchmakers) were submitted, the new edition of the competition boasts three separate classifications: traditional movements coming from companies, tourbillon movements coming from companies, and traditional movements submitted by watchmaking schools. In the latter category, there are four submissions from four very different students at four schools of watchmaking: two Swiss, one French, and one American. All four of these submissions are made on the basis of the ETA Unitas 6498 caliber. Here, apparently, the test is to see which student can best regulate this standard, stable workhorse to optimal chronometer specifications.
The other 14 submissions come from ten companies: Kari Voutilainen, Chopard's LUC, MHVJ (a Vallee de Joux supplier), Mido, F.P. Journe, Technotime, Tissot, Frederique Constant, Greubel Forsey, and Leroy - all European companies based either in Switzerland or France.

It is interesting to note that Jaeger-LeCoultre, the company that took both first and second place in the last competition - with two tourbillons, no less - is not participating in the 2011 edition. CEO Jerôme Lambert explained that since the company took both first and second places with tourbillons in the 2009 competition, the company wanted to enter a different movement. However, the desired movement - a new one - was not yet ready to launch, and thus the Le Sentier-based brand decided not to enter the competition this time around. "It is not that important for us anyway," Lambert remarked. "The competition's testing is very similar to the 1000 hour test that we subject every one of our watches to. Certainly, after the last competition, most of the other companies learned that in addition to accuracy, it is also important to consider stability."

Measurements will be carried out in officially certified laboratories in Besançon, Biel and Le Locle. The watches will undergo magnetism and shocks tests reproducing conditions of everyday use. The Committee of Honour is chaired by astronaut and EPFL professor, Claude Nicollier. The jury comprising independent individuals and journalists in the luxury watch industry is chaired by Jean-Marc Triscone, dean of the Faculty of Science at the University of Geneva. Technical commissioner and a member of the jury is Laurent-Guy Bernier, delegate of the Swiss national metrology office METAS.
The winners of the competition will be announced on October 20 at the Château des Monts watch museum in Le Locle.

The dedicated building, located a mere stone's throw from the Eplatures airport, is now home to the four companies created by Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey, and jointly run by the two founders along with CEO Emmanuel Vuille: Greubel Forsey, CompliTime, CT Design and CT Time. Over one hundred people have now moved to the new premises from the Ancien Manege and other sites where the Greubel Forsey adventure began.
Vividly reflecting the nature of Greubel Forsey watches, the new workshops are designed to be a concentrated blend of technological feats displaying a distinctive soul underlining the link between the past, present and future. It is composed of two buildings: a 17th century listed farmhouse renovated by Mr. Gilles Tissot (an expert in the renovation of Neuchâtelstyle historical buildings) which will serve as a reception area. It also houses the Unique Timepieces workshop, a showcase for the brand's creative excellence. The renovation work preserved numerous key features such as the shingle roof, external envelope and foundations. Various decorative aspects can be admired, such as a vaulted cellar, a former open fireplace, an 18th Century master room with its wood-worked ceiling and tiled stove, a carved doorway dating back to 1668, as well as the sundial symbolising the passage of time and perfectly suited to the building's new function.

The main building directly linked to the farm and designed by architect Pierre Studer houses the development and production premises. Its original shape reflects a geological fold as seen in the topography of the Jura mountains, further enhanced by a 'green' or garden roof. It is also the first double-skin environment-friendly construction in the region and the glass outer walls create a natural thermal buffer zone. In summer, the air circulates to create a cool breeze; while in winter it is enclosed to serve as additional insulation. The ground-floor ventilation is equipped with an adiabatic cooling system (the extracted air is cooled by water evaporation and then used in a heat exchanger to cool the pulsed air). The ventilation system on the uppermost floor, home to the watch movement and final assembly department, is cooled by filtered air. Inside the building, concrete has been widely used to better stabilise temperature.
Natural light streams into the whole interior from the outer walls and through the impressive glazed covered courtyard. The staircases on each side are a subtle reminder of the Ancien Manege.
