Here is a refreshing statement from the company when asked about the Swiss Made/movement issue.

The requirement for Swiss Made is that over 50% of the watch be made
in Switzerland. Our first models (the Torino, Statesman and Triton)
were made with Swiss movements in high-quality Asian cases.

With the Gran Torino we experimented with casing in Switzerland in
order to achieve the "Swiss Made" logo, but we found that the added
cost could not be justified.

This is why the newest models - the automatic chronograph, the hand
wind, and the Adventurist do not have Swiss Made on the dial.

All of our watches uses Swiss movements regardless of where they were
cased. We find that the movement is usually considered the most
important quality attribute.

Kind Regards,

Quite refreshing compared to our beloved Invictasubtlelaugh.gif

This also was a statement made by them................

We test each Avier on a Timegrapher and regulate it immediately prior to shipping to ensure the best accuracy possible without a COSC certification. We also back up each Avier with a two-year warranty
