 it's no a mystery that the Jenny Family aka Walca owns Doxa along with others and have a Swiss manufacturing facility as well as another in HK...nor that the large percentage of Swiss watch companies outsource to HK.
...and yes I am playing the devils advocate as far as Doxa who does put in writing that they meet the Swiss federations guidelines as far as "Swiss Made" which is 51% of the watches cost to manufacture...
...I do agree with Johnny that more companies should speak up and disclose the truth as well.
...the main reason many of the micro-brands are so successful is due to their truthfulness as to the origins of their watches...or at least those supported here on 3T.
...I can name a couple favorites on another forum who will go so far as to not only make false statements and paint a blurred picture by saying certain parts come from different parts of the world in order to mask the fact that they are made in HK and duping good yet gullible WIS into further spreading the lies while they sit back and say notta...the latter being what truly p's me off.
...I don't really care where a watch is made as long as it is made well and sold at a price representative of what is put into it...nothing more nothing less...
