Introducing: The ONVA Quality Control Solution for Watch Brands

In the highly competitive world of watchmaking, ensuring product quality is paramount. Consumers value precision, craftsmanship, and reliability in their timepieces, and any inconsistencies can damage a brand’s reputation. That’s where the ONVA Quality Control Solution comes in—designed to elevate your brand by optimizing your production process and minimizing costly errors.

What We Offer: The ONVA Quality Control Package

Our comprehensive quality control service is crafted specifically for microbrands and mid-size brands looking to scale their production without sacrificing quality. Here’s how our package works to protect your brand and enhance customer satisfaction:

  1. Pre-Assembly Checks:
    We’ll establish a meticulous quality control protocol that includes component inspection before assembly, focusing on key areas like movement functionality, case quality, and dial quality as soon as its received from your suppliers. This ensures that defective parts are identified early, allowing immediate feedback to your suppliers to avoid continued problems in the future.

  2. On-The-Line Support:
    During the assembly process, our solution includes an initial evaluation of your current processes to identify inefficiencies. After solutions are implemented, we follow up with ongoing monitoring to ensure we have made the necessary interventions. Some solutions may include: refinement in dial and hand setting, movement handling, case and crystal cleaning, and pressure-proofing procedures. We focus on common issues like date jumps, power reserve checks, and water resistance to prevent complications post-production.

  3. Post-Assembly Inspection:
    Every timepiece undergoes final testing to ensure all tolerances meet your defined standards. We implement processes to inspect each watch for dial cleanliness, proper hand setting, water-resistance and power reserve reliability, verifying that all performance expectations are met.

  4. Troubleshooting & Training:
    Along with immediate quality control improvements, our package includes troubleshooting training for your team. We empower your staff to handle common assembly issues, reducing delays when problems arise and our design is to create a self-sufficient model that pays forward into the future.

Why Choose ONVA?

Expertise & Precision: Operated by a SAWTA certified watchmaker with years of experience, we bring a deep understanding of what makes a timepiece stand out in the market. Out methods are built on a foundation of precision, reliability, and scalability.

Tailored for Small Brands: We know that small brands often rely on external suppliers for movements and components, which introduces variability. Our solution mitigates these risks by establishing strong quality control practices that catch defects early and prevent costly warranty repairs.

Faster Turnaround on Movement Repairs: Movement issues are common, but waiting for repairs from suppliers can slow down your entire production. We offer in-house movement repairs for common movements like Sellita and Miyota, reducing downtime and keeping your production on track.

The Business Case for Investing in Quality Control

Quality control isn’t just a safeguard—it’s a direct investment in your brand’s profitability. By catching issues before they reach your customers, you will:

  • Reduce Warranty Claims: Fewer defective units mean fewer returns and warranty claims, saving your brand negative public relations and cashflow.

  • Enhance Customer Satisfaction: Customers value reliable watches. When you consistently deliver high-quality products, they become loyal advocates for your brand.

  • Save on Production Costs: Identifying problems early reduces rework and wasted time, keeping your production line running smoothly.
