A ‘Swiss-Made’ Watch: The Pinnacle of Quality and Craftsmanship
Watches today not only tell the time but have also become symbols of fashion, luxury, and status. This is where Swiss-made watches stand out worldwide, offering timeless quality, value, and aesthetics.
Watchmaking in Switzerland is a centuries-old tradition, and the country's watchmakers have passed on the craft from one generation to the next throughout the history of watchmaking. Swiss-made watches represent the highest quality standards in the watchmaking industry. Switzerland's passion for timepieces and its expertise in watchmaking have given Swiss timepieces a unique reputation. Behind every Swiss-made timepiece lies years of traditional watchmaking craft and excellence.
What is a ‘Swiss-Made’ Watch?
The ‘Swiss-Made’ label is not merely an indicator of the place of production; it is a globally recognized trademark of approval and a quality stamp.
The Swiss Watchmaking Federation requires that only watches meeting certain legal standards can use the ‘Swiss-Made’ label. In order for a watch to receive the ‘Swiss-Made’ label, it must comply with the legal standards set for production, development, and movement. So, what are these standards? Here are the details:
- The movement must be Swiss-made.
- The watch must be assembled in Switzerland.
- The manufacturer must perform the final tests and quality checks of the watch in Switzerland.
- At least 60% of production costs must be incurred in Switzerland.
The reason why the ‘Swiss-Made’ label symbolizes superior quality and craftsmanship in the watchmaking industry is that these legal standards have been strictly enforced for years. This label assures consumers that Swiss-made watches meet the highest standards of quality and excellence.
