"This has come up time and again, Walca is owned by the Jenny's. Walca has production facilities in Hong Kong/China and Switzerland. Walca produces "private label" watches for clients, with the option of Swiss made or Asian made."

DOXA Watches
The thing is that when you search on Google-Earth about Doxa´s only address and office in Bienne(Switzerland) as they stipulate on them site:
Montres DOXA SA
Rue de Zurich 23
CH-2500 Bienne 8
Switzerland
You will find a building apparently divided in two companies: One is ROFIN Baasel Swiss AG , the other one is WALCA Trad.Corp AG.
No Doxa signs there... It's WALCA: Is it offices or is there any factory...Mystery.
So WALCA produces watches in Switzerland and also in China with it's 2 factories?
Those guys are saying that the Walca Far East is there to meet the Chinese demand after cheap watches: Like those!

Who are still bearing the "Swiss-Made" label...? WTF?
Even they are manufactured in Hong-kong by WALCA F.E ? Yes, of course, the 50% law...
So why Doxa's divers should be REALLY made in Switzerland, if they are from the very same WALCA company and subjected to the same 50% law who authorize those bad Chinese "Dolexa" wearing the "Swiss-Made" label?
Because they say it.....
