 there are many categories of "Swiss Made" but only a few that can claim 100% Swiss Made and most WIS are not true collectors....the 100% SWiss was once true for most of the Swiss manufacturers pre-quartz revolution and exactly why Swatch Group and Hayek said "no more eta's/ebauches to 3rd parties...make your own movements" and slowly once again the real Swiss manufacturers are doing just that...making their own movements!

...Swiss Made has become a polluted mess of Chinese balderdash leaving most WIS not knowing the origin of their watches...and even worse we have watch producers who do not manufacture their own watches but use these HK companies to manufacture them being less than honest in letting WIS know this...they will tell you the C-3 comes from Switzerland(of course it does...that is where Tritec is located) and case parts from Germany,Poland and on and on...cut the BS....if the watch is made in HK then say so!...over 900 million watches were exported from China last year...what does that tell you?
