Let say Johnny decided to build a 100% Swiss made watch with a top grade ETA 2892, and I decided to sell it at my cost + shipping the majority of the people would completely ignore my watch accept for a few.
Get a big watch brand to build the same watch with an ETA 2892 COSC, but case, bracelet and dial are made in Hong Kong shipped back to Switzerland for final assembly and inspection. Big brand charge 10 x more than Johnny brand people would be drooling, wishing that they could afford it etc.
Johnny brand would be accused of being made in China, and would bashed to hell.
Top grade ETA 2892, and COSC ETA 2892 are the same movement accepts one has been certified by COSC.
That’s what going on in real life think about it.
Not all name brand watch company does this, so before people start bashing Hong Kong watches or micro brew watches look at your Swiss made timepiece and just wonder.
Some big brands do build 100% Swiss made watches, and you’re going to pay the price if that what you want. Don’t forget their overhead is a lot higher than the Johnny brand, (ex: employee salary, building maintenance, benefits etc.)
Doxa can make 100% Swiss Made watches, are we willing to pay the price? I know the answer (hell no), leave them alone I like it the way it is.
Have a nice day.
