A chronometer is a particularly precise timekeeping instrument specifically designed for accurately determining longitude in navigation. The high accuracy of these watches is crucial for seafarers to calculate their position precisely on the high seas.

Originally, they were large, gimbal-mounted mechanical watches. Today, the term is often used for wristwatches whose precision has been certified by an independent body, such as the COSC.

This certification confirms the exceptional reliability and accuracy of the watch movements under various conditions.

Which institutions certify watches as chronometers?

The best-known institution is the Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres (COSC).

The Besançon Observatory in France also tests chronometers.

FOPE's creations are based on the vision of Eugenio Fope, emphasizing a close connection between tradition, craftsmanship, and cutting-edge technology. These values, combined with the Italian tradition of jewelry making, represent exclusivity, quality, and authenticity. Newer collections reinterpret the codes of the FOPE archive, particularly the chain link design, the Chicco motif, and Flex'it technology.
