Patrik: Those Torgoen watches are not assembled in Switzerland and don´t wear the "Swiss-Made" only legal mark that you obtain when your watch is proven to have 50% at list of it´s cost originated from Switzerland. I resume there... The law past at 60% newly. Anyway: In no places on them net-site Torgoen is stating that them watches are manufactured or cased in Switzerland. The only Swiss mention is on the dial "SWISS" and there on the description: "The T16 is made with a Swiss made ETA chronograph quartz movement." This "SWISS" on the dial means nothing in the legal watch world and they certainly can legally defend it´s use by saying that it describe the movement´s origin. Those watches are most likely fully made and cased in Asia with an imported "Swiss-Made" quartz movement which might even have Asian components or partial Asian assembling. Smoke and mirrors my friend.
