I really did read it, both before this came up and again. My read of it is that 50% of the cost of the watches parts must be spent in Switzerland and that the movement must be Swiss and it must be assembled in Switzerland. I know that people can not do all that and still put "Swiss Made" on the dial - I can in my home with my laser printer and some slik screening if need be - but that doesn't mean that the law is on their side. :shock:
I THINK what we are talking about is much more simple - are the laws as written to define "Swiss Made" adequate to genuinely ensure that the watch is in reality "Swiss" the way that the average person would expect it to be with that label on the dial? If that is what we are really discussing then my answer is "No". "Swiss Made" ought to mean more than it does, and I believe that the assumption by most is that it does mean more than it does in fact mean.coyote2.gif
