The COSC released their stats for 2008, and again it is a record year with an increase of 8.6% attestations from 2007 with a total of 1,599,588. While the increase in timepieces submitted was actually increased by 10.6%, this means that many more timepieces must have been denied attestation. The actual number of timepieces submitted was 1,676,515. Compare with COSC figures from 2006 and 2007.

Total mechanical attestations: 1,536,950
Total Quartz attestations: 62,638 (56,224 of which were Breitling!)

None under 1000 are shown. But that is actually quite a suprising list.. there are many brands on there that I am surprised even exist, let alone would make the list such as Waltham and Enicar. Mido and Titoni are revival brands but I am surprised they have so many… maybe they are more prominent in Europe.
