An essential component for enhancing Swiss watchmaking

The TIMELAB watchmaking and microtechnology laboratory is available 7 days a week to handle both simple inquiries and complex requests.

Swiss watchmaking quality and expertise

From classic to made-to-measure

Watch heads, straps, movements: the TIMELAB laboratory tests, analyzes, and controls all components of a timepiece in various contexts corresponding to their lifecycle (resistance, aging, water resistance, magnetism, etc.). Testing follows standard norms or personalized protocols.

Additional Expertise

As a holder of international accreditations, the laboratory collaborates closely with universities and higher education institutions. This privileged access provides brands with additional scientific expertise and the opportunity to explore new avenues under the supervision of the TIMELAB team.

State-of-the-Art Equipment

Thanks to its versatile equipment, TIMELAB is capable of testing numerous other products and industrial instruments (jewelry, medical devices, etc.). Some tests can be conducted directly at the brands' premises.

Paths for Improvement

TIMELAB plays a crucial role between different phases of research, certification, development, manufacturing, production, and after-sales service. Its multidisciplinary experts provide comprehensive reports (including intermediate test results), improvement suggestions, and complete solutions for product development.
