Geneva—Cartier has joined the cadre of watch manufacturers that can display the prestigious Geneva Seal distinction on some of its timepieces, according to Web site Vialuxe.com.

The site states that one or more of Cartier's movements will carry the seal.

The Geneva watch-making guild conceived the seal in 1886 to define and protect the quality of its products.

The seal is recognized as "the most prestigious official distinction in the world of watch-making," according to Vialuxe.com.

To obtain the seal, a watch must meet 12 criteria governing its construction and appearance; the movement must be mechanical and have been assembled and adjusted in the Canton of Geneva; and must have obtained official designation from the Bureau de Controle Facultatif des Montres de l'Etat de Geneve.
