Over on the Watch forum there was a long discussion some time ago about how reliable - or not - the label Made in Switzerland was. It turns out that as long as the watch is assembled in Switzerland, and it doesn't even have to be the whole watch, the bits which go to make up the watch can be from anywhere - usually China. I'm not knocking Chinese watches btw. I own a watch with a Chinese movement and it works fine. The point is that if you pay a premium for a Made in Switzerland watch, you want it to be made in Switzerland.

I wonder how much of the Made in Sweden Abu's is actually made in Sweden?

[QUOTE="DaveH, post: 389863, member: 3858"] Over on the Watch forum there was a long discussion some time ago about how reliable - or not - the label Made in Switzerland was. It turns out that as long as the watch is assembled in Switzerland, and it doesn't even have to be the whole watch, the bits which go to make up the watch can be from anywhere - usually China. I'm not knocking Chinese watches btw. I own a watch with a Chinese movement and it works fine. The point is that if you pay a premium for a Made in Switzerland watch, you want it to be made in Switzerland.
