Can be Called "Swiss Watch",What Watches?

A watch is a timepiece that is made to be worn on a person. It is usually a wristwatch, worn on the wrist with a strap or bracelet. In addition to the time, modern watches often display the day, date, month and year, and electronic watches may have many other functions. Most inexpensive and medium-priced watches used mainly for timekeeping are electronic watches with quartz movements. Expensive, collectible watches valued more for their workmanship and aesthetic appeal than for simple timekeeping, often have purely mechanical movements and are powered by springs, even though mechanical movements are less accurate than more affordable quartz movements.

Nowadays, when talking what watches models to buy, people always will come to Swiss Made Watch", but how to know that the one is Swiss watch? Here I will like to share some information for your reference. As we all know, Switzerland is watch kingdom that the world's best watches are made there. Hence, watches of Swiss production are a symbol of quality. Currently imported watches of various brands are sold in the domestic market, including the famous old brands, less well-known new brands and some watch brand without authentic Swiss "blood". The main method for them to feel like Swiss watches are like this: register a trademark of watch brand in Swiss or purchase a small Swiss watch brand, then install a Swiss movement but appearance parts and assembling are basically made at home, perhaps only a very small parts are made in Switzerland so that they can get some imported documents such as declarations, airway bills, invoices.

What kind of watches can be regarded as "Swiss made" watches? When talking about this topic, there are some strict rules. According to a Swiss watch bill watches that can be known as "Swiss watch" after July 1, 1992 must have the following qualification in the same time:

(1) Have a Swiss movement
(2) Movement is put into case in Switzerland
(3) Have the final test by manufacturer in Switzerland

Only those watches with the described qualifications can have "Swiss Made" or "Swiss" printed on the watch dial or case back. Swiss watch is one of the products that have the most counterfeits. And piracy methods are varied: pirate of brand, pirate of model, pirate of pirate of quality certification and mark on the metal, pirate of "Swiss made".

In fact, many watch logos are not that "Swiss". "Swiss Made" doesn't mean the movement is made in Switzerland. Movements with" Swiss Parts" are made up of Swiss spare parts and usually assembled in some Asia and Far East countries. Such movements have worse quality than those made in Swiss.
With regard to movement, Swiss Watch Act also set the following requirements:

(1) Have been assembled in Switzerland
(2) Tested by manufacturer in Switzerland
(3)Not less than 50% total value of all the parts and accessories are produced in Switzerland, not including assembly cost.

All in all, Swiss movement doesn't mean a watch is a Swiss watch. A movement doesn't count that much for a watch.
