Join The Stand

Check out our available positions and get involved.

Following a website relaunch and a re-rebranding, The Stand has returned to deliver the excellent content that it has been known for since 2011. This would not be possible without our team of editors, writers and photographers. Throughout the year, the committee works hard to ensure that the Stand retains the high standard of journalism that our founders set. If you aspire to see your name in print and feel qualified to join the local press scene, then we welcome your application.

Joining the Stand will provide you with invaluable experience in reporting, marketing, teamwork, delegating, and writing. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and on our commitment to the students of St Andrews, as we promote student talent on multiple levels: Writers and photographers have their work showcased on our site, and clubs or societies can advertise with us at a discounted rate. Whether you are a creator or a consumer, The Stand offers an avenue for any ambition.

  31. Understanding COSC Certification and Its Importance in Horology
    COSC Validation and its Stringent Standards
    Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, is the authorized Swiss testing agency that verifies the accuracy and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC certification is a mark of excellent craftsmanship and reliability in timekeeping. Not all watch brands pursue COSC validation, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its own stringent criteria with movements like the UNICO, attaining similar precision.

    The Science of Precision Chronometry
    The central mechanism of a mechanized watch involves the spring, which delivers energy as it unwinds. This mechanism, however, can be vulnerable to environmental factors that may impact its precision. COSC-validated movements undergo demanding testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and reliability. The tests assess:

    Mean daily rate accuracy between -4 and +6 seconds.
    Mean variation, peak variation rates, and effects of thermal variations.
    Why COSC Accreditation Matters
    For timepiece aficionados and collectors, a COSC-accredited timepiece isn’t just a item of technology but a testament to enduring quality and precision. It symbolizes a watch that:

    Offers outstanding reliability and accuracy.
    Provides assurance of superiority across the complete construction of the watch.
    Is probable to retain its value better, making it a wise choice.
    Popular Chronometer Brands
    Several renowned manufacturers prioritize COSC validation for their watches, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, offers collections like the Archive and Soul, which showcase COSC-accredited movements equipped with innovative substances like silicon balance springs to enhance durability and performance.

    Historic Context and the Development of Chronometers
    The idea of the timepiece dates back to the requirement for accurate chronometry for navigational at sea, highlighted by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth century. Since the official establishment of COSC in 1973, the certification has become a yardstick for assessing the accuracy of high-end timepieces, continuing a tradition of superiority in horology.

    Conclusion
    Owning a COSC-validated watch is more than an visual choice; it’s a dedication to quality and accuracy. For those appreciating accuracy above all, the COSC certification provides peace of mind, ensuring that each certified timepiece will perform reliably under various circumstances. Whether for personal contentment or as an investment, COSC-certified timepieces stand out in the world of horology, carrying on a tradition of meticulous chronometry.
