In this ever-changing society, watches are no longer just recorders of time. They are a symbol of unique style and an improvement in the quality of life. As a perfect blend of technology and art, watches are not just simple timekeeping tools, but also outstanding works of ingenuity and design.

So, how do you tell whether a watch successfully blends technology and art? We can evaluate many aspects such as craftsmanship, innovative design, material selection, etc.
The quality inspection of watches covers all aspects of watch parts and the overall inspection after assembly. Specifically, watch parts inspection includes strict control of the material and manufacturing process of each component, while post-assembly inspection involves inspection of the appearance, function, waterproofness, and other aspects of the watch. Such multi-level testing ensures that each watch is representative of exquisite craftsmanship and worthy of the wearer's taste and pursuit.
Watch Parts Inspection
The foundation of our production process lies in top-notch design and accumulated experience. With years of watchmaking expertise, we have established multiple high-quality and stable raw material suppliers that comply with EU standards. Upon arrival of raw materials, our IQC department meticulously inspects each component and material to enforce rigorous quality control, while implementing necessary safety storage measures. We employ advanced 5S management, enabling comprehensive and efficient real-time inventory management from procurement, receipt, storage, pending release, and testing, to final release or rejection.
Functionality Testing
For every watch component with specific functions, functional tests are conducted to ensure their proper operation.
Material Quality Testing
Verify if the materials used in watch components meet specification requirements, filtering out substandard or non-compliant materials. For instance, leather straps must undergo a 1-minute high-intensity torsion test.
Appearance Quality Inspection
Inspect the appearance of components, including case, dial, hands, pins, and bracelet, for smoothness, flatness, neatness, color difference, plating thickness, etc., to ensure there are no obvious defects or damages.
Dimensional Tolerance Check
Validate if the dimensions of watch components align with specification requirements and fall within the dimensional tolerance range, ensuring suitability for the watch assembly.
Assemblability Testing
Assembled watch parts require a recheck of the assembly performance of their components to ensure correct connection, assembly, and operation.
Assembled Watch Inspection
Product quality is not only ensured at the source of production but also runs through the entire manufacturing process. After the inspection and assembly of watch components are completed, each semi-finished watch undergoes three quality inspections: IQC, PQC, and FQC. NAVIFORCE places a strong emphasis on every step of the production process, ensuring that products meet high-quality standards and are delivered to customers.
Waterproof Testing
The watch is pressurized using a vacuum pressurizer and then placed in a vacuum sealing tester. The watch is observed to ensure it can operate normally for a certain period without water ingress.
Functional Testing
The functionality of the assembled watch body is checked to ensure that all functions such as luminescence, time display, date display, and chronograph are working correctly.
Assembly Accuracy
The assembly of each component is checked for accuracy and correctness, ensuring that parts are correctly connected and installed. This includes checking
if the colors and types of the watch hands match appropriately.
Drop Testing
A certain proportion of each batch of watches undergoes drop testing, typically performed multiple times, to ensure the watch operates normally after testing, without any functional damage or external damage.
Appearance inspection
The appearance of the assembled watch, including the dial, case, crystal, etc., is inspected to ensure there are no scratches, defects, or oxidation of the plating.
Time Accuracy Testing
For quartz and electronic watches, the battery's timekeeping is tested to ensure that the watch can operate reliably under normal usage conditions.
Adjustment and Calibration
Mechanical watches require adjustment and calibration to ensure accurate timekeeping.
Reliability Testing
Some key watch models, such as solar-powered watches and mechanical watches, undergo reliability testing to simulate long-term wear and use, evaluating their performance and lifespan.
Quality Records and Tracking
Relevant quality information is recorded in each production batch for tracking the production process and quality status.
Multiple Packaging, Various Choices
