Different company but same maker. Look at the details of their designs.

Chrono AG is a private label watch company that makes watches for some of the famous watch brands. They also make wathes for some private companies like shell, fitness first, caltex and etc. I have received a catalog from them with the list prices of all their current models. Only a few models for automatic movement though...

If you read closely the company name is "Swiss Made" and only offer Swiss quality watches? Most likely they are using Swiss movements but the rest is Asianface4.gif

I had a catalog of all these watches not too long ago from a guy I know in Switzerland. They all originate from a private label house who will put a name on the dial for as little as 10 pieces I believe. Prices are fairly competitive for what you'd get. I played with some of the 7750's; nice.

Oscar,

I went to the website.  They are a Swiss company and using "Swiss Made" on the dial is regulated under Swiss law.  If they put "Swiss Made" on the label and they are doing so in Switzerland they are in for some heavy duty regulatory and Court intervention if the product does not meet the specified criteria under their law.  The Swiss take that thing much more seriously than any other country.

Looking at the website they claim to be in Solothurn Switzerland and they label their product as "Swiss Made"?  Am I missing something here that would allow them to use more than 49% non-Swiss parts but assemble and finish the whole watch within the confines of Switzerland?

I'm very aware of what Swiss Made means Doc...please read the sticky in this forum "What Swiss Made Means"hand6.gif Every component besides the final assemby in Switzerland and movement can be Asain ie: case,dial,hands,crystal etc. and still fall under Swiss Made guidelines ...and don't believe the Swiss are that serious :) Swiss guidlines only enforce the minimum requirements...
Swiss watch Only when it is Swiss, may a watch carry the indications "Swiss made" or "Swiss", or any other expression containing the word "Swiss" or its translation, on the outside. According to Section 1a OSM, a watch is considered to be Swiss if:
  • its movement is Swiss;
  • its movement is cased up in Switzerland;
  • and the manufacturer carries out the final inspection in Switzerland..

There are rules about it but as I understand it, basically 50%+ must be made in Switzerland, it must be assembled and finished in Switzerland to carry the tag "Swiss".  TZ has a long article about it and all the legal terms and details are in that article.
