Assembly in France: what it really means
"Assembled in France" – let's clarify what that means at A★Star, concretely.
Each watch undergoes three systematic checks before shipping.
Timegrapher Test
The movement is measured on a timegrapher. We impose a tolerance of -15 to +15 seconds per day. Any out-of-spec movement is replaced before assembly.
5 ATM Water Resistance Test
Each case is subjected to pressure equivalent to 50 meters depth. This test detects any micro-leaks invisible to the eye. Resistant to rain, splashes, and swimming.
48-Hour Check
Each watch runs for 48 continuous hours after assembly. This period reveals any mechanical problems that do not appear immediately.
No watch leaves without having passed these three stages. That's why we offer a 2-year warranty covering any manufacturing defect.
A★Star — Born in the dark. Made to shine.
