Pics didn't come through but this is very interesting from TT and Sammy Friedman of Gevril in regards to higher standards for "Swiss Made"! Greetings fellow watch enthusiasts! We've just returned from meetings on the East coast. It was a beautiful New York day. The tree was green. The bird was singing. And exciting watch developments were in the air from both Gevril and Nicolet. Swiss Price Increases In my meeting with Sammy Friedmann of Gevril, I learned that the days of getting a Swiss mechanical movement in the three or four-hundred dollar range are rapidly coming to a close. This may be the ideal time to stock up, especially for special occasions later in the year. Tightened "Swiss Made" Standards During our visit, Sammy also shared his knowledge of the proposed pending "80-20" rule. This is a proposition to limit the "Swiss Made" designation to watches with 80% of production costs in Switzerland for mechanical watches and 60% for electronic production. The current percentage is 50.1% for both. On June 28th, the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (FH) voted in favor of pushing the Swiss government to accept these new requirements. This proposal comes in response to criticism that the Swiss-made label is being used too loosely, and if passed, it will affect the future labeling of some brands. and Jean Marcel will pass with flying colors!hand6.gif Not only is Jean Marcel typically the least expensive option to owning a pure Swiss production, but it's definitely going to survive the pending "80-20" ruling intact. For all of you who have aspired to own such a timepiece, this is an event not to be missed. In particular, I recommend the Semper Automatic Strap Watch.
