Different company but same maker. Look at the details of their designs. Chrono AG is a private label watch company that makes watches for some of the famous watch brands. They also make wathes for some private companies like shell, fitness first, caltex and etc. I have received a catalog from them with the list prices of all their current models. Only a few models for automatic movement though... Last edited on Fri Feb 23rd, 2007 07:32 am by NANDO-FERDZ |

I had a catalog of all these watches not too long ago from a guy I know in Switzerland. They all originate from a private label house who will put a name on the dial for as little as 10 pieces I believe. Prices are fairly competitive for what you'd get. I played with some of the 7750's; nice. Marc |

Oscar, I went to the website. They are a Swiss company and using "Swiss Made" on the dial is regulated under Swiss law. If they put "Swiss Made" on the label and they are doing so in Switzerland they are in for some heavy duty regulatory and Court intervention if the product does not meet the specified criteria under their law. The Swiss take that thing much more seriously than any other country. Looking at the website they claim to be in Solothurn Switzerland and they label their product as "Swiss Made"? Am I missing something here that would allow them to use more than 49% non-Swiss parts but assemble and finish the whole watch within the confines of Switzerland? |

There are rules about it but as I understand it, basically 50%+ must be made in Switzerland, it must be assembled and finished in Switzerland to carry the tag "Swiss". TZ has a long article about it and all the legal terms and details are in that article. |

Oscar, Not to be argumentative but I believe there is some requirement about the % of parts that are Swiss made in order for it to carry the "Swiss Made" designation - aren't there? |

Doc....Please read the link ...we have discussed this at length for many years...this is what the Swiss federation has to say and not TZhand6.gif As in any business there are unscrupulous minds who know how to bend the rules coyote2.gif http://www.fhs.ch/en/swissm.php |

Oscar,:) I really did read it, both before this came up and again. My read of it is that 50% of the cost of the watches parts must be spent in Switzerland and that the movement must be Swiss and it must be assembled in Switzerland. I know that people can not do all that and still put "Swiss Made" on the dial - I can in my home with my laser printer and some slik screening if need be - but that doesn't mean that the law is on their side. :shock: I THINK what we are talking about is much more simple - are the laws as written to define "Swiss Made" adequate to genuinely ensure that the watch is in reality "Swiss" the way that the average person would expect it to be with that label on the dial? If that is what we are really discussing then my answer is "No". "Swiss Made" ought to mean more than it does, and I believe that the assumption by most is that it does mean more than it does in fact mean.coyote2.gif Last edited on Fri Feb 23rd, 2007 04:27 pm by Docrwm |

Hey! stop it guys! I only posted because I'm going to drop the hammer on one and it doesn't matter where its assembled, or wether the parts come from butt wipe Idaho! I would prefer your support, and interest in what the watch does when it arrives. Sometimes you just buy a watch because you like it. hand6.gif |

Thanks Oscar, It looks like a cool watch. It might even work! The price sheet has them and some with the eta 2836 at an incredible price point. Most of the cases look really familiar, like the orsa quartz I bought. |

I have had 1000's of watches made in Switzerland and no matter what some one is reading, it is a translation and a view point. 50% of the cash value of the watch has to be spend in Switzerland which includes final assembly and inspections, not total assembly. We have layers for this and have to upgrade movements or get them decorated in Switzerland in order to get them to comply sometimes, or do other creative things, just my two cents. |
