Swiss made watches

Posted on 15 August 2019 at 8:03 AM

We all know that Switzerland is seen as the country "pur sang" for watches. This country has a long and special history in the field of watches, especially of automatic and mechanical watches. Over the years, watch brands from Switzerland have been able to gain a lot of experience and knowledge. The country is home to many highly skilled technicians and has various innovations achieved. A Swiss watch is reliable, robust and of very high quality and manufactured with passion and extreme precision. The Swiss made label is more important than ever!

When a watch brand is allowed to use the "Swiss made" label, this says a lot about the quality, origin and durability of the watch. A "Swiss made" watch must meet various strict requirements and conditions. The origin of the "Swiss made" designation can be found in 1971. The requirements and conditions were drawn up this year, followed by a change in 1995. Note that this standard is a minimum standard. So there is still a difference in quality possible between the various Swiss watch brands. The differences are mainly reflected in the production method and the use of materials. Of course, brand experience is also important, you now pay more for a Breitling watch than for an Epos watch. Nevertheless, Epos delivers beautiful watches that are not inferior in terms of technology or use of materials. And the price is much more interesting.

What does a genuine Swiss watch offer? In any case, the movement of the watch must come from Switzerland and be built into the watch case there. There is also the requirement that the final inspections must be carried out within Switzerland. In addition, at least 60% of the development costs incurred must have been spent within Switzerland.
