NWA - Let's Get Scientific

[_speedmaster_]

Just wanted to share my new purchase. This is a 25 piece limited run between L.U. Chopard and Revolution Magazine.

The scientific dial was chosen by Karl-Friedrich Scheufele, John Goldberger and Wei Koh to honor the Qualite Fleurier certification this watch goes through. Qualite Fleurier is an extremely difficult watch certification process originally designed by L.U. Chopard, Parmigiani and Bovet. So far as I know, only LUC keeps this alive in some of their watches. It results in a high attrition rate, which is why it is so seldomly used.

To obtain QF certification:
1. Must be 100% Swiss made
2. Pass COSC to be certified as a chronometre
3. Pass the chronofiable test; a sample of cased-up watches are selected to go through a brutal set of tests including magnetic resistance, WR, shock resistance, stressing the crown, etc.
4. Every cased up watch goes through a 24-hour robotic simulation of daily wear (including simulating a person running, playing golf, etc). At the end of the test the cased up watch must still run between 0 and +5 seconds per day.
5. Movement must have a high level of finishing

Watch is 39mm x 9mm and is super wearable, legible and the finishing is definitely on point.
