She told me that Gevril had in fact used the
CL-888 on some of their watches.
That has all been changed to the current
 GV A0AX32 since the introduction of the
Avenue of America.

In the Official Website, Gevril doesn't
mention whether or not the movement
is Swiss Made.

GV A0AX32 is a 25 Jewel movement.
From this it may sound like an ETA ebauche,
but I have my doubts.

Gevril has been rumored to start their own in house movements for a few years now. Not sure if they are going to be using them in the GV2 line to start but they will be Swiss Made movements from the chatter I have picked up here and there. Sammy Friedman has a reputation for quality so even with the CL 888 I'm sure he and George J von Burg did good with watch and movements in these.
