 I wouldn't worry about any of the true Swiss brands and higher end watch companies we all know of that have actual facilities in Switzerland but I know I am staying from these companies who are suspect and mass produce watches like Invicta which brought this subject all up to begin with who have so called Swiss Made Limited Editions anywhere from production numbers up to 5000 .

..when I was told this about the 1st 200 only being held to the high Swiss standards my 1st reactions was No way!....and after a lengthy discussion with an AD and a Swiss watch co. rep I was convinced!

I have a greater respect for the true Swiss companies like Tissot who are able to keep their pricing down and even many of our boutique brands that produce in small quantities like Kazimon,Dievas Benarus,Bali Ha'i and DWATCH who do produce some Swiss Made models and Made in Germany watches but in low production #'s that have to be cased and final inspection in Switzerland...hand6.gif
