Swiss vs. Swiss made?
Perhaps I missed something?
Here are the criteria as of January 2017: The movement is cased up in Switzerland, The movement is Swiss, The manufacturer carries out its final quality control inspection in Switzerland and should bear a ‘Swiss Made’ label For ‘Swiss Made,’ the watch’s production cost (as a whole) must be Swiss-based and should comprise at least 60% in total; however, if it is a mechanical Swiss watch, there should be at least 80% of the production cost that is connected to the operations conducted in Switzerland. For the Swiss made quartz, the cost of production should reach 60% and must be generated in Switzerland. Moreover, it is clearly specified that the technical development of a ‘Swiss Made’ and Swiss watch movement must occur in Switzerland, including the smartwatches. So what is the other 20% for this watch? As opposed to my 5711 I know Patek created their own quality seal and left the Geneva seal. This seal appears to be about quality. https://www.watchtime.com/wristwatch...-quality-seal/ Anyone have any insight about the swiss vs swiss made on a current watch? Thanks
