Are there any affordable Swiss Made watches?

Unfortunately, in many instances, the words to a certain extent become the marketing ploy. Those two words; “Swiss Made”, enable watchmakers to increase the price based solely on the Swiss reputation for quality. Have you ever thought of a Swiss-made watch at a reasonable price? Through our own in house manuafctruing and close realastionships with a few good Swiss brands, we wish to introduce you to quality and affordable Swiss-made watches.

Firstly, let's clarify what a Swiss Made watch really means and how the Swissness Regulation actually works. The definition of "Swiss Made". Under the new regulation issued by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry in 2016, requires the following aspects of the “Swiss Made” watch needs to be;

- At least 60% of the production costs of a watch taken as a whole must be Swiss-based.
- The movement used in the watch (the engine) must still contain at least 50% Swiss-made components in value (not in quantity) and at least 60% of the movement’s production must be generated in Switzerland. All testing and adjusting must be Swiss based.
-The technical development of a “Swiss Made” watch and movement must be carried out in Switzerland.
The new regulations certainly strengthen the Swiss brand label and keep the value of “Swiss Made” watches high, in return it also assures high quality.
