ニュース雑感＆渋谷ネタ

8月記事なので亀レスだが、WIRED2014.8.19～オキュラスリフトで丘サーファー：3D実写映像で誰でも大波に乗れるチャンス到来！より。今再び話題になっている「ビッグウェーブ」だね（笑）。以下引用。

テック界で話題のVRヘッドセット「オキュラスリフト」とUGG Australia（アグ オーストラリア）の看板商品「シープスキンブーツ」には共通点がある。それは身につけた瞬間に興奮する体験が得られることだ。つい友人にも薦めたくなるものだが、実際に体験しないと言葉だけではなかなか伝えづらい。そんなところまで似ている。8月20日（水）より、UGG Australiaは一部の直営店にて、オキュラスリフト・サーフィン体験ができるキャンペーンを開始。オキュラスリフトを活用した店頭プロモーションはアパレル業界では初の試みで、3Dの実写映像（プロサーファーが2台の「GoPro」を装着して撮影）を使用したものとしては世界初の事例となる。

↓こんな感じにバーチャル体験ができちゃう。

場所は、全国のイベント会場およびUGG Australia各店舗にて。何ッ、渋谷にも店舗があるのか！

公園通りに渋谷店がある→http://www.uggaustralia.jp/flagship-stores.cgi#navigation

電話してみたところ、「今ならすぐ体験できますよ～いつまでやっているかは未定ですが、9月いっぱいは大丈夫」とのこと。すわ、行かねば！

※ビッグウェーブさんは今回はSoftBank表参道店に並んでいる模様。

  342. Flirt.com is for adults looking for fun, flirty encounters rather than serious dating. The site is aimed at the younger crowd, though there are older members there and some seeking longer term relationships. It offers free membership for women, while men can join for free but must pay for additional services such as email.

    Flirt has been recently revamped and is designed for people looking for casual dating. Most people there are in their twenties and early thirties, though there is no upper age limit. It’s owned by the Cupid Dating network and caters mostly to members in the UK, the U.S. and Australia, though membership is open to anyone.

    Flirt is “spicier” than your regular dating site – don’t expect to find your next significant other there.

    Naughty mode
    This site is designed to have a light, fun feel to it. It is not intended to be an “adult” site, though there is some mature content. Most adult content can be blocked by switching-off “naughty mode” (the initial setting).

    This will hide any images that are explicit. Flirt is a worth a look if you are single and looking to meet new people and have a little fun. Those looking for more serious relationships would probably be better off looking elsewhere.

    Features
    Flirt.com is feature rich, offering email, message boards, chat rooms, member diaries, videos as well as basic flirts and emails. Flirt has a dedicated mobile site for those wanting access their matches on the go. They also sponsor speed dating and other live events for those who want to meet someone in person.

    Membership
    Women have access to all features of for free. Men can join for free, but will need a paid membership in order to use some features of the site. Despite being free for women there is still a very high proportion of male users.

    Flirt ist ok. A few fake profiles (like everywhere), a few cam girls (like everywhere) and a few scammers (like everywhere) but generally the site seems to be real. Personally prefer because i’ve actually hooked up twice using it, but just wanted to try somethin’ new so decided to give Flirt a chance.
    Not worth it. I had no luck on this site after six months.
    Though it’s a casual site, I met my love here. So everything’s in your hands. Try, you won’t lose anything.
    Good site for flirting and one night stands! Unfortunately one day this won’t be enough for you and flirt cannot offer you something serious.
    I’m really glad that a friend of mine gave me the advice to register on Flirt to make my life more spicy. I wasn’t really going to have anything more than just a naughty chat but it turned out that there’s a nice lady in mt city who’s willing to date with me. I’m freaking happy now
    Though it’s a casual site, I met my love here. So everything’s in your hands. Try, you won’t lose anything.
    This site is bull****, it’s a total scam, the profiles of women are not even real they are all fake, when you create a profile and it becomes active they suck you in by sending you lots of messages and winks from so called women which are not even real and don’t actually exist and because you can’t read the messages as an unpaid member to be able to read the messages you have to subscribe and pay for a membership then once you do that and you respond to the messages you don’t get a reply back.
    This site claims that singles are in your area, but in truth that they live elsewhere. I had received a lot of mail from people that the site claimed were in my area, but they actually lived far away. Beware of scammers as well, I have found quite a bit of them on this whose profiles seemed to be processed quickly since their information is available. However, those members who may actually be real usually have the contents of their profile information pending. I’ve seen a lot of scam activity on this site and very little actual people.
    Cute looking site like many others however only here I’ve had 5 dates within 3 weeks after the start. Also I should note that flirt sometimes really hard to use and it’s taking some time to feel yourself comfortable during usage of it and actually it’s not because of gliches or something simply the pictures of buttons are obvious so sometimes you can find yourself on the page you haven’t wanted to open. However I should admit that in the end it worth all the troubles in the start.
    Hi everyone. I didn’t have very high expectations of this sort of thing. However, I have loads of fun talking to people and an amazing amount of interest is being shown in me. Hope things will get even better when I add my photo, hehe 🙂 you guys better do this too, if you haven’t yet 😉 5*
    Just a warbibg to others. This website sometimes states that people are in cities that they are not. For example, the site may say that they’re in Chicago when they may actually be in Dallas.
    Great site! Met some great people and got chatting on the phone with a local using the ‘Talk Live’ feature. I wasn’t expecting much from the whole ‘online dating’ thing other than a bit of joking around and wind-ups, a lot of the feedback from web dating isn’t that reassuring. After signing up for a trial I had a lazy look around the site, but didn’t make much of it, it looks well designed and is easy to navigate, but the abundance of options was a bit overwhelming for a beginner like me. I didn’t go back to it until a few weeks later, I was bored and lonely on a Saturday afternoon and the reason that I joined a dating site became very much apparent again! So i had another crack at it and decided to try and get something out of it this time. After I made the effort to fill in my profile and what I was looking for in a match things got better very quickly. Got chatting with a member who at my request agreed to having a chat over the phone (this might scare some people or way or sound a bit forward, but the talk live feature uses an anonymous caller id so neither party’s numbers are given away, so it’s less of a big deal), and started up a bit of a regular thing with her! Maybe I’m lucky, or maybe it’s my good looks and charm;). Since then we’ve been on a couple of nights out together and get on well… I haven’t been online since! Fingers crossed!!!

  343. Online dating is a fantastic thing when you find a website or app that really works for you. With estimates as high as 8,000 dating sites available worldwide, however, it can be hard to discern which dating websites are complete wastes of time. In preparing for this Flirt.com review, I saw a very familiar template and knew exactly what I was looking at. Here’s a sneak peek:

    We like to do a lot of dating site reviews here at Beyond Ages to eliminate fake sites and time wasters. Since your online dating experience can only be as good as the website you use, it’s an important factor. By pointing you in the right direction with a detailed review, you can spend more time on actual dates. That’s how it’s meant to work, right?

    You need to be using at least one or two of the top dating apps right now if you want to get any real results. So many people exclusively look online now, thanks social distancing, that you can’t avoid it even if you want to. Fortunately there are a few great options out there for most people, you just need to do your research first.

    How we reviewed Flirt.com
    A lot of the reviews seem to cover the site based on a cursory glance. Rather than just talking about how the site looks and how I assume it would function, I want to go deeper.
    I’ll always set up a free profile, only filling out the mandatory fields at first. What I’m looking for here is to see if I’ll receive a bunch of inbox spam. Fake dating websites will often have a bunch of fake accounts that try to fool you into signing up for their premium service. Since no real user would message a blank profile, a busy inbox straight away means you’re seeing spambots.

    No matter how this turns out, I’ll then use the site for a week or two with this free account. I’ll add profile photos and complete my bio like normal. My aim is to set up as many dates as possible as a free user. I’m looking to see if it’s even possible and if so, how the experience compares to some of the more popular sites. After that, I move on to a paid account several weeks after that. I want to see if the premium perks make it any easier for me to set up dates.

    All in all, I end up with a far better understanding of what it’s like to actually use the site. This makes for a far more informative review. If I can save just one person from being scammed, all this effort is totally worthwhile.

    Every BeyondAges writer follows strict and verifiable guidelines. Unlike other dating sites, our reviews are always up-to-date and sourced by local experts–not rehashes of stuff you can find elsewhere.

    Our Full Flirt.com Review: Fun or None?
    No need to hide the conclusion for this site all the way at the bottom. It’s part of a massive network of fake dating websites that seem to point back to TopOffers.com. If you’re not familiar with this network, I’d suggest reading through the rest of Flirt review anyway. The more you can understand and look out for these fake sites, the safer your credit card will be.

    AFF (which you can try for free) is one of the largest hookup sites out there right now and where we’ve seen guys especially get good results, which makes it Flirt.com’s biggest competitor. A great first step to any review is a brief comparison between the best option out there (AFF) and Flirt.

    So, below is a quick comparison so you can see how the two stack up.

    Our Recommendation
    In all honesty, Flirt.com disappoints on almost every front except usability. While the website’s layout is user-friendly and easy to navigate, it serves no real purpose when the only “women” I ended up conversing with turned out to be individuals located who knows where. Overall, my experience left much to be desired.

    The initial giveaway was the profiles themselves. Most of the profiles I encountered were nearly empty, containing only basic information. I frequently encountered profiles of women seeking men aged 18-96, which deviates from the norm where most dating apps feature users with more specific criteria for potential matches.

    Here is a screenshot of the typical interactions I experienced with users who messaged me. In my experience, nobody initiates a conversation like this. Typically, women would begin with a simple “hi,” “hello,” or a comment about your profile. However, the messages I received from Flirt.com users appeared to be generated by bots. It immediately put me on guard, signaling that I was dealing with a low-quality site primarily focused on coaxing users into subscribing to their premium services.

    Questionable message 1

    Questionable message 2

    When you compare it to the top sites out there now, like AFF, it looks even worse.

    I was looking for a hookup, so I used AFF instead. They boast over 60 million (real) users and are specifically targeted at hookups. I can send a handful of messages and expect a few replies even if my messages might be branded as “generic”. It’s infinitely better than giving this dodgy network your hard-earned money.

    If AFF doesn’t do it for you, we recently reviewed all of the top dating apps and websites out there. Have a look through that list and see what appeals to you most.

    How Did I Recognize That This Site Was Suspicious?
    After spending extensive time writing detailed dating site reviews, I’ve become acquainted with larger networks in the industry. In the case of TopOffers, a significant portion of their websites seems to share the same template and tactics. I’ve examined and reviewed these sites, and I could quickly discern that Flirt.com was just another site in their lineup of subpar dating platforms. Take a look at the five other sites within their network, and you’ll notice the striking similarity. As evident, Flirt.com closely resembles them as well.

    Site design similar to other sites
    Site design similar to other sites

    Other sites with a similar design

    They seem to register a collection of cringe domain names like “Shagaholic.com” then duplicate the site over and over. About the only thing that really changes is the color scheme, honestly. So, the moment I logged into with my free account I knew exactly what to expect and I wasn’t surprised.

    hey seem to register an array of cringe-worthy domain names like “Shagaholic.com” and replicate the same site repeatedly. The primary difference typically lies in the color scheme. Consequently, the moment I logged into my free account, I immediately recognized what to expect, and I was far from surprised.

    What Is This “Top Offers” You Keep Mentioning? As I delved deeper into writing more dating site reviews, I began noticing recurring names in the footer. The more closely I examined, the more connections I unearthed. It turns out this network comprises a whopping 218 fake dating websites! Most of these fall under one of six shell companies:

    Bulova Invest Ltd
    Together Networks Holdings Limited
    Nelfor Services Limited
    Timespace Holdings Limited
    Kingsrock Holdings Ltd
    Northlock Holdings Ltd
    If you ever encounter any of these names in a dating website’s footer, it’s time to cancel your account. In my years of scrutinizing dating sites, I knew that any site affiliated with these companies would adopt the same template, employ the same tactics, and ultimately disappoint users—no meaningful connections, money wasted, and the looming concern that my credit card details might be misused.

    What Makes These Sites So Dubious?
    A legitimate question indeed and one that deserves an answer. In essence, nothing about the 218 sites within their network is genuine, but they employ tactics to feign authenticity. I would incessantly receive messages from profiles on the site, but they were all either hidden behind a paywall or required payment to reply. These would typically be flirtatious messages from bots aiming to deceive me into subscribing to a premium account. With any site resorting to such tactics, I could never recommend divulging your credit card information.

    What makes these sites so bad?
    This is a fair question and an important one to answer. In short, nothing about the 218 sites in their network are legitimate, but they use tactics to pretend otherwise. I would constantly receive messages from profiles on the site but they’re all behind a paywall or I had to pay to reply. These will be flirty messages from a bot that tried to trick me into paying for a premium account. With any site that’s going to use tactics like these, I could never suggest handing over your credit card information.

    Conversation behind a paywall
    Conversation behind a paywall

    Moreover, as I discovered in my Flirt review, they will utilize your information to populate their other websites as well. They replicate your profile on other dubious “dating” platforms, making you unwittingly endorse their bots.

    It’s essentially a colossal affiliate network—where you are the product. As the saying goes, “If you’re not paying for it, you’re the product.”

    My Advice: The moment you encounter this template and receive suspicious messages from “users” claiming to be single women interested in meeting up, run. Be vigilant for messages that feel inauthentic. While users on this site may appear overly eager to interact, exercise caution. Chances are, they are merely trying to coax you into subscribing without any assurance of an actual meetup.

    Instead of squandering your time on sites like Flirt.com, I recommend opting for a more trustworthy dating platform. If you’re seeking hookups, I suggest using Adult FriendFinder (AFF). In my experience, no other platform surpasses AFF when it comes to facilitating casual encounters. Unlike Tinder, where your profile picture often dictates your entire experience, AFF places a more significant emphasis on genuine sexual chemistry. Furthermore, you have the advantage of filtering users based on your preferences, ensuring you find plenty of singles who align with your desires. Need more details? Check out our full review of Adult FriendFinder to know more about why we always recommend this site!

    Between Adult FriendFinder and Flirt.com, the choice is clear, and I wholeheartedly endorse AFF. I believe you should too!

    Want to learn more about more fake dating sites like Flirt.com? Read our popular guide, The List of Fake Dating Sites You Should Avoid, and learn about some commonly-known and not-so-commonly-known scam sites out there:

    Author: Tom Senkus, Dating And Relationship Expert

    Excerpt: “Scammer dating sites often use overly attractive profiles to entice users. If something seems too good to be true, it probably is.

    There are a couple of signs to look for when screening overly attractive profiles:

    All of their photos look professional and possibly sourced from a modeling agency

    None of their photos have local landmarks or locations that match their stated location

    Their profile has “salesy” language that seems to be flattering to the reader without any specifics (“I’m looking for an older man that’s looking to settle down…”)

    Their profile seems to be generated by AI (artificial intelligence)

    Overtly sexual language meant to entice users

    Sales funnels like OnlyFans or contacting on alternative messaging platforms (like Snapchat for trading pics)

    A large difference between the quality of profiles for legitimate profiles versus ones you suspect to be fake. Not to be negative, but exceptionally model-tier attractive people tend to not use dating apps regularly (or they use exclusive luxury dating apps,). If you find too many attractive women on a relatively new app, for instance, you can reasonably assume that the developers are “padding” the available matches.”

    Expert Publications on Online Dating Site Scams
    The rabbit hole goes deep when it comes to online dating scams and the behavior of vast criminal networks around the world. If you’re curious to learn more about avoiding scams, there are plenty of academic studies where you can learn about which scams are more prevalent, how sites are attempting to prevent illegal/manipulative behavior, and more:

    Ignatius Hua Nyam – Lecturer, Department of Liberal Studies/Directorate of Policing Training Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil-Kano State- Nigeria

    “There are several reasons behind the propagation of online scams. An individual’s greed of sharing the wealth with a specificwealthy online partner is one of the reasons. Poverty also drives desperate individuals into cybercrime that involves romance scams. Some victims are affected because they did not know any better. While their desire to have emotional attachment trap others.

    Chenyang Wang

    “In an era of widespread mass marketing scams on the Internet, many victims have reported varying degrees of financial loss and psychological damage after encountering lottery scams and advance payment scams. Among them, the emotional damage to victims of online dating scams may be even more severe because the whole scam process involves mental attachment, sexual abuse, and relationship breakdown. There is little help and support for victims throughout the scam process and even after the scam is over, which not only makes it difficult for victims to get timely and professional assistance after experiencing online scams, but victims even run the risk of being scammed by criminals again afterward, so timely help and professional psychological treatment for victims is of positive significance. In previous studies, there are fewer reports summarizing and analyzing the psychological conditions of victims.”

    Fangzhou Wang, Assistant Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of Texas at Arlington

    “Our observations indicate that scammers not only diversify their approaches to prompt more responses, such as appealing to their romantic relationships, asking for identifying information and requesting victims switch to private chat platforms, but they also use several techniques for getting victims to overcome their misgivings about sending the scammers more money. For example, scammers subtly persuade victims to see themselves as holding more power in the interaction than they do.”

    Pros and cons
    No matter how dubious a site may be, there are usually some redeeming aspects. In the case of Flirt.com, however, the “positives” come off as thinly veiled criticisms:

  344. Since 1997, Flirt.com has worked with 70 million users, claiming to take them places where their wingmen or own finesse has failed. By helping you find common interests with potential dates and flings, the site gives you the building blocks to get talking, because as they say, “It all starts with flirting.” Their simple name entices you with visions of ready and cute singles eager to get to know you intimately right in your own town. But does this site really help you with your game, or is it all talk and no action?

    First Glance
    When you first sign up, you’re invited to choose which of two genders you’re attracted to. There’s no trans* option, couples option, or bisexual option, so from the get-go you’re boxed in for what looks like a largely hetero and vanilla hookup site. Whatever you choose, make sure you pick the right one when you sign up, because once you’re a member, there’s no changing who you’re attracted to, leaving bi babes in the dust.

    After registering, creating your profile is straightforward and user-friendly. You can put as much (or as little) detail into this section as you’d like, and pick any picture you think will draw those honeys in. As soon as you finish your profile, you’re pinged by a message from the site admin with lots of “special offers” to keep you hooked. From there, you’re all signed up and ready to start meeting the eligible bachelors and bachelorettes in your city.

    The Dating Pool
    From the home screen, Flirt.com promises a wealth of single people right for you. You can filter them by popularity and recent activity. However, you’ll quickly realize that only the first forty-five people or so are available for free, making it a little hard to judge the types of people this site draws in.

    If you’re looking for men, though, the first few rows of eligible bachelors makes one thing is clear: you’d better like men who frown. Out of the available matches in the Bay Area, only two had something close to a smile in their profile picture. Most photos were grainy, and there wasn’t much to go on that suggested the matches there would be fun to spend time with.

    Maybe the straight men look so down in the dumps because the available women, although more friendly and bubbly-looking, all come with a huge asterisk. The majority of profiles looked fake. As soon as I signed up, women messaged me saying I was “interesting” even though my profile and photo gallery were entirely blank. Most of the women were bots at best, or swindlers at worst, and it was hard to know if there were any real and eligible local women looking to meet.

    Unique Perks
    In spite of these red flags, Flirt.com does have a few things that make it different from other browser-based dating and hookup sites. You can do the popular Tinder-style swiping from your desktop, so you can browse without having to read their whole profile (or pay for it).

    You are allowed to send five free messages daily, and participate in chatrooms like “Naughty but Nice” and “Kink Friendly,” so you can connect to more scintillating content with (potentially) real people in your area.

    On top of it all, you can send FlirtCasts. These public messages are sent to multiple active users in the area at once, testing the waters to see who’s interested in a date.

    The catch
    Frankly, everything about Flirt.com screams “scam.” For offering features that virtually every other dating website offers – and not with any grand improvements – Flirt.com is a money drain that seems to target men over 35 who may be less than tech-savvy.

    This website reads like a bad and expensive version of Tinder, and the problems don’t end there. Many men have reported being scammed after signing up. They receive dozens of messages from women, but can’t access them all unless they pay. Once handing their credit card information over to Flirt.com, the river of messages dries up. That’s because most of the messages are from bots, there to stress new users out until they buy credits, and the site then deletes unseen messages after twenty-four hours, giving users little time to consider whether they actually want to pay for the site at all.

    And remember that site admin who messages you at the beginning? Well, it keeps coming, promising a “special discount” for access to features – which, if you’d like to use this site, you really need. Only a user’s initial photo, tagline, and name are visible for free. Their bio, interests, and other information all require a membership. The special discount they offer is 30% off of their special prices, but once that discount ends, you’ll be paying…

    $1.50/day (or $4.50) for a Three Day Trial
    $2.14/day (or ~$64.20) for one month
    $0.77/day (or ~$69.30) for three months
    $0.62/day (or ~$111.60) for six months
    And if you’re still thinking a three-day trial looks harmless, think again. The fine print reads that your three day trial “automatically converts” into a monthly membership, meaning that your $4.50 has just become a recurring $64 a month. To make things worse, Flirt.com makes it very difficult for you to navigate cancellation. Many men report having to go as far as blocking Flirt.com from their cards in order to stop the payments.

    Conclusion
    User beware! Flirt.com is one site you should stay very far away from. Although it may have started out as a legit dating and hookup site in the ‘90s, it’s devolved into a scam to steal money from men looking for lovin’. There are much better places to find a date, and you don’t need to drain your wallet to get there. I’m giving Flirt.com 1/5 stars.

  353. ntroduction To LocalFlirt

    Features Of LocalFlirt

    The Match Game

    Looking for some local flirt buddies? The “Match” game allows you to get matched with other users on the site without having to pay a penny. All you have to do is browse through the profiles recommended to you and click on either the “fire” or “x” emojis to like or reject them. It’s a match when two users have liked each other through the game, and from there you will be prompted to start chatting.

    Send a Gift

    A great feature for those who don’t mind spending a little dough on their favorite matches. Local Flirt allows you to gift message credits to other users on the site so you can keep the conversation going between you. Not everyone can afford paying per message, but with the right match, you might not need to pay a single penny!

    “Favorites” Feature

    “Favorites” allows you to add other people’s profiles to a list and unfortunately it’s not a free Local Flirt feature. The other person does not get notified, which makes it the perfect way to find them again, and contact them at your preferred time. You don’t have to juggle chatting with two people at once, save one of the two to your “Favourites” and get to them at a later time.

    How Safe Is LocalFlirt?

    Local Flirt is transparent about the fact that they do not conduct any background, criminal or identity checks for their users. This is mentioned in their Terms and Conditions, and while we can’t expect them to be infallible in their website security, some measures would have been nice.

    Unfortunately, that also means that there’s really no way to tell if the people you are conversing with on LocalFlirt are genuine. What’s more, considering that we were flooded with messages upon our first visit to the site, it’s highly likely that the site is not the safest to use.

    So, Is Local Flirt A Scam?

    No, Local Flirt is not a scam. It’s definitely not the safest dating and hookup site out there, but you get what you are promised with their memberships and credit packages.

    Conclusion

    Overall, Local Flirt is a bare-bones dating site designed for open-minded people who are looking to have some NSFW fun. If you’re looking to flirt for free, it probably isn’t ideal for you, though. With its membership and credit system you might find chatting quite expensive for the benefits you get. Especially so if you consider the website’s lack of verification for its users.

    Other than that, LocalFlirt is very user-friendly and easy to navigate, and despite its limited amount of features, it’s not hard to get matched on the site. Overall, we didn’t have a negative experience either. Of course, we still got bombarded with a great number of messages straight away, but we also managed to have genuine conversations with a few users. So, based on our experience, Local Flirt is worth giving a try, but be mindful of the people you speak to.

  369. Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Watchmaking
    COSC Validation and its Demanding Standards
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Switzerland testing agency that verifies the precision and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC accreditation is a sign of quality craftsmanship and reliability in chronometry. Not all timepiece brands seek COSC validation, such as Hublot, which instead adheres to its proprietary strict criteria with mechanisms like the UNICO calibre, achieving equivalent precision.

    The Art of Precision Timekeeping
    The central system of a mechanized watch involves the mainspring, which provides power as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be prone to environmental factors that may affect its accuracy. COSC-validated mechanisms undergo strict testing—over 15 days in various circumstances (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their durability and reliability. The tests assess:

    Mean daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 secs.
    Mean variation, maximum variation rates, and impacts of temperature variations.
    Why COSC Validation Matters
    For timepiece fans and connoisseurs, a COSC-validated watch isn’t just a piece of tech but a proof to lasting excellence and accuracy. It represents a watch that:

    Offers outstanding dependability and precision.
    Ensures confidence of quality across the whole construction of the timepiece.
    Is likely to retain its value better, making it a wise investment.
    Well-known Chronometer Brands
    Several famous manufacturers prioritize COSC accreditation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, provides collections like the Record and Soul, which showcase COSC-certified mechanisms equipped with innovative materials like silicon equilibrium suspensions to boost resilience and performance.

    Historic Background and the Evolution of Timepieces
    The idea of the timepiece originates back to the need for accurate timekeeping for navigation at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the 18th century. Since the official foundation of Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres in 1973, the certification has become a benchmark for evaluating the accuracy of high-end watches, continuing a legacy of excellence in watchmaking.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-accredited watch is more than an aesthetic choice; it’s a commitment to quality and accuracy. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC accreditation provides peace of thoughts, ensuring that each validated watch will operate reliably under various conditions. Whether for individual satisfaction or as an investment decision, COSC-validated watches distinguish themselves in the world of horology, carrying on a tradition of precise timekeeping.
