QF mark, namely Qualite Fleurier. In 2004, sponsored by Mr. Parmigiani, four companies, namely Parmigiani Watch Factory, Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier, Chopard and Bovet, jointly promoted the formation of a company called Fleurier Quality Foundation ‘and launched the QF Mark.

QF imprint originally had only four criteria:
1. Accuracy. In order to obtain each model of the QF mark, the movement must first be certified by the COSC Observatory (ISO 3159 standard).
2. Durability. The watch must pass a test called ‘Chronofiable’, which includes periodic push-button operation test, anti-magnetic test, impact test (excluding complicated function models), and waterproof test. The number of watches tested will be proportional to the number of watches produced. If the watch is produced within 1 ~ 100 pieces, 5 quizzes must be submitted; 101 ~ 200 pieces, 10 quizzes must be submitted; 20 or more quizzes need to be submitted.
3. Accuracy during actual wearing. Different from COSC, the watch must be placed on the ‘Fleuritest’ simulator for a 24-hour period swing test and the data recorded by the computer. On the continuously moving simulator, the watch must be maintained for 0 to +5 seconds a day. Within the error value.
4. Technical and aesthetic requirements. Like the Geneva mark, there are certain specifications for the decoration, polishing and material of the movement. For example, parts made of plastic are prohibited. All parts must be chamfered. They must be assembled by hand or mechanically, not in bulk; plating is prohibited. Nickel, unless used in stainless steel oxidation resistance … etc.
In 2012, a new rule was added to the above four specifications: 100% made in Switzerland; this rule only applies to the watch head and does not include the strap and buckle. Although any source of materials in the meter header can come from all directions, the processing of materials must be implemented locally in Switzerland; and the tasks of assembly and fine processing must of course be completed in Switzerland. In addition, if certain procedures cannot be completed in Switzerland and processed elsewhere, the Fleurier Quality Foundation is notified in advance.
