| Last
year, the Controle officiel suisse des chronometres (COSC) issued 1,090,581
certificates, or 10.0% fewer than in 2003. The number of timepieces registered
fell by 10.4%, to 1,137,716 (1,104,691 in the mechanical category, -10.6%,
and 33,025 in the quartz category, -3.8%). "In view of the behaviour of watch markets in 2004, this result could be seen as surprising", writes the COSC in its annual report. "The findings must however be viewed in a relative context, possibly reflecting a depletion of stocks", it points out. In terms of manufacturers, there is no change to the top three rankings, which have not changed in recent years:
All other applicants obtained fewer than 900 certificates.
