Los Angeles, CA. When I looked over Jennifer Thoene’s yearbook page for the Marymount High School, Los Angeles grads of 1986, I was really impressed! She was a member of the Science Association, and Model United Nations; editor of Blueprint, the school newspaper; yearbook manager; winner of the Christian Service Award AND judged by her peers “the most likely to make the best mother.”
This research, of course, was after the fact. I met Jen and her husband Brent and their four children this past May before giving the commissioning retreat to three other couples and their nine children. The lively group had just completed their four months of formation for the Mission Doctors and Lay Mission Helpers here in Los Angeles. These two unique mission organizations were founded in the ‘50‘s by Msgr. Anthony Brouwers whose vision for empowering the laity in the missions predated Vatican II’s important documents: “Gaudium et Spes” and “Ad Gentes.”
When Jen, Brent and family came by to say hello to the others, they mentioned to me that they had just returned from three years of service in Guatemala and were going to be re-commissioned with the other couples and in August were being sent to Cameroon to serve as physicians at St. Martin de Porres Hospital in the Archdiocese of Bamenda.
During dinner, I asked Jan where she had gone to high school and when she responded “Marymount High School,” I said, “Me, too!” She then told me that she had decided when she was in the Junior School to become a doctor to serve the poor in mission countries. She also told me that Sr. Laurence Monahan, RSHM, was her favorite teacher and Pat Yahnke her favorite principal. I decided right then that I would call the two of them and bring them as a surprise to the Commissioning Ceremony on May 26th.
At the Commissioning Mass, Jen was greatly surprised to see Sr. Laurence and Pat in attendance. And to my surprise, the Gospel proclaimed, “NOW is the acceptable time; today is the day of salvation.”

I in addition to my guys were actually following the good ideas from your web blog and then then developed a terrible feeling I had not expressed respect to you for those secrets. Most of the men are already as a consequence thrilled to learn them and already have unquestionably been taking advantage of those things. Thanks for really being so kind and then for finding such impressive resources most people are really needing to be aware of. Our honest apologies for not expressing appreciation to earlier.

Understanding COSC Validation and Its Importance in Horology
COSC Accreditation and its Strict Criteria
Controle Officiel Suisse des Chronometres, or the Official Swiss Chronometer Testing Agency, is the official Swiss testing agency that verifies the precision and accuracy of wristwatches. COSC accreditation is a symbol of quality craftsmanship and reliability in chronometry. Not all watch brands follow COSC accreditation, such as Hublot, which instead sticks to its own strict criteria with movements like the UNICO, achieving comparable precision.
The Science of Exact Chronometry
The central system of a mechanical timepiece involves the spring, which provides power as it loosens. This mechanism, however, can be vulnerable to environmental elements that may impact its precision. COSC-accredited movements undergo strict testing—over fifteen days in various conditions (5 positions, 3 temperatures)—to ensure their resilience and reliability. The tests evaluate:
Average daily rate precision between -4 and +6 secs.
Mean variation, highest variation levels, and impacts of thermal changes.
Why COSC Accreditation Is Important
For watch aficionados and connoisseurs, a COSC-certified timepiece isn’t just a item of technology but a proof to lasting quality and precision. It represents a watch that:
Presents outstanding dependability and accuracy.
Ensures confidence of quality across the complete construction of the timepiece.
Is apt to maintain its worth more effectively, making it a sound choice.
Popular Timepiece Brands
Several renowned manufacturers prioritize COSC certification for their timepieces, including Rolex, Omega, Breitling, and Longines, among others. Longines, for instance, presents collections like the Archive and Soul, which feature COSC-certified mechanisms equipped with cutting-edge materials like silicone equilibrium suspensions to enhance durability and efficiency.
Historic Background and the Evolution of Chronometers
The concept of the timepiece dates back to the requirement for accurate timekeeping for navigational at sea, emphasized by John Harrison’s work in the eighteenth cent. Since the formal establishment of COSC in 1973, the certification has become a benchmark for evaluating the accuracy of luxury timepieces, maintaining a legacy of superiority in horology.
Conclusion
Owning a COSC-accredited watch is more than an aesthetic selection; it’s a dedication to quality and precision. For those valuing accuracy above all, the COSC accreditation offers peacefulness of mind, guaranteeing that each accredited watch will function dependably under various circumstances. Whether for individual satisfaction or as an investment decision, COSC-validated watches stand out in the world of horology, maintaining on a legacy of precise timekeeping.
