The reason i took up this trade with metals and alloys is that if we wouldn't be in such a hurry to sell, and make fast money. Then perhaps watchmakers wouldn't have to turn to second grade metals just to meet the demands of production.
The buyer should get what he or she pays for and not just the logo. So i share your view of the "Swiss made" marketing bs that you explained so well. Makes me think twice now before buying a watch from a luxury brand, and realizing that one should not take anything for granted just because the manufacturer/seller tells you how it is.
I hear stories Patrik, not rumors: From the inside world in Switzerland.
And I tell you: It´s ugly. But until now, no solid proof.
If I could prove some of them, I would do it anonymously or I would surely be facing serious prosecution in some courts: Those rich brands are not about to let anyone destroy them business and reputation...
China been involved since long in the making of so-called Swiss parts: It´s not a new trend at all.
The more you produce, the more it´s tempting to take short cuts.
Meet the dream-maker: Mr Mi.
He don´t lie, he just don´t say who was and are, his partners...
