What can proudly be called Swiss. What is the difference between cheap wristwatches and more expensive ones? What does "Swiss Made" mean in a watch?

How to choose a Swiss watch? This question is asked by successful, wealthy people who can afford the luxury of little things. But simply having a lot of money in order to purchase a real watch produced in the world watch power of Switzerland is not enough. Global fashion for clothing and accessories dictates its own rules, and in order to follow it, you have to follow these rules. Otherwise, you risk purchasing an expensive fake, which at one point can seriously tarnish your reputation or simply create embarrassment.

Agree, you won’t envy a person who, at a meeting with friends or business partners, wanting to emphasize his status, will be caught by a person who really knowledgeable about luxury watches, wearing a fake Rolex. To prevent this from happening, and to simply be confident in the authenticity of your purchase, here are some recommendations when choosing a Swiss wristwatch.

To begin with, we should voice the requirements for watches so that they can proudly be called Swiss. Firstly, this clockwork. It must be made in Switzerland, using Swiss technology, by a Swiss watch manufacturer. The most famous watch brands producing Swiss watches are Atlantic, Aviator, Luminox, Rodania, Victorinox and, of course, Rolex. The products of these manufacturers can be found on the website http://gold.ua/products/muzhskie-chasy, where the most popular models of Swiss wrist chronographs are presented today. There are several watch movements on gold.ua, the simplest of which are installed on relatively inexpensive models, others are mounted in solid gold cases set with diamonds. Regardless of the price category of watch movements, you can be absolutely sure that they will always be accurate, reliable and very prestigious. Swiss watches from different manufacturers can be equipped with Ronda, Valjoux, ETA, Unitas and other movements.

Secondly, the watch must be assembled in Switzerland and undergo Swiss quality control. The fact is that the Swiss value their reputation as unsurpassed watchmakers very much, therefore, in order to obtain the official right to label their products as real Swiss watches, many global manufacturers are moving part of their production to this country. This, of course, has a positive effect on the Swiss economy, and is, in addition to reputation, another reason for such stringent requirements for Swiss watches.

In fact, this country has a monopoly in the production of Swiss watches, since watches produced in any other country cannot be called Swiss. Which, in the end, owes such popularity of Swiss watches around the world among wealthy people. However, a huge number of fake Swiss watches are produced all over the world. This does not mean that they are of poor quality and that the mechanism will stop working in a month or two. Fake watches can be of quite high quality and run for a very long time, without giving the owner any reason to doubt its authenticity. And only people who know a lot will be able to distinguish an ordinary good watch from a masterpiece of Swiss watchmakers.

Therefore, the only truly reliable way not to buy a fake, no matter what “experts” advise on online forums and in print media, is either to purchase it in a branded store, or, if the watch was not purchased in a branded store, check the model data in catalogs manufacturers, where a comprehensive list of features, characteristics and dimensions, after checking them, you can proudly and without fear of being exposed, show others your real Swiss watches. Do not forget also that real Swiss watches are supplied with a whole package of documents and a certificate - they will help you verify their authenticity and make the right purchase.

Shopping

In the minds of a huge number of people, Switzerland is associated with cheese and watches. And, of course, people come here to make sure that the Swiss cheese is the most delicious and the watches are the most accurate. It would hardly be an exaggeration to say that this is so.

Tourists can try Swiss cheeses and dishes based on them in any corner of the country. But many people go to Geneva specifically to buy watches and jewelry. By the way, original products can be bought here on any central street.

The spring months in Switzerland are especially attractive for those who love to purchase designer items. The fact is that it is at this time that many manufacturers offer discounts (up to 70%!) on their goods - from clothes to souvenirs. You can buy things from famous designers in Ticino, in the south of the country.

Among the largest shopping centers are Shop Ville (Zurich) and Fox Town Faktory (Mendrisio). The latter is the largest shopping complex in Europe.

Shopping in Bern will give you great pleasure. In shopping boulevards up to 6 kilometers long you can find everything from souvenirs to cakes.

As for the store opening hours, you will have to get used to it. Firstly, most institutions are closed on Sunday. On Saturday, the working day usually lasts up to 16 hours. Shops used to close on Wednesday, especially in rural areas, but on Thursday they are open longer - until about 21:00. The Swiss are quite strict with lunch: from 12:00 to 14:00 most institutions are closed.

Gas stations are beyond competition: open every day from 08:00 to 22:00. True, food and drinks are more expensive here.

Transport

The largest international airports in Switzerland are in Zurich, Basel and Geneva. They are serviced by the Swiss company Swiss.

In general, transport links in Switzerland are one of the densest. Trains depart approximately every half hour. Large cities have a very dense network of buses and trams. Most metro lines in Switzerland are similar to our tram lines: they run above ground. It was only in 2008 that the first underground metro opened in Lausanne.

Intercity transportation is also organized flawlessly. Even remote settlements regularly require buses. You can get to any place in the city and country quickly, easily and using the transport that you prefer.

Ferries ply on the numerous lakes of Switzerland exactly on schedule. There are cable cars in the mountains: not only very convenient, but also exciting!

In general, transport in this country works - pardon the pun - like a Swiss watch.

As for roads, traveling in your own car can also bring considerable pleasure. At least because of the landscapes that stretch around. In addition, one cannot complain about the quality of coverage and infrastructure. Roads that pass through mountain passes play an important role.

An important point: in order to drive a car on some highways, your car must be equipped with a special ticket. You can buy it when entering Switzerland, at customs. It costs around $30. The permissible speed on highways is 120 km/h, up to 80 km/h outside populated areas, up to 50 km/h in populated areas. There are video cameras on all roads that help catch violators, so be careful. By the way, you can be convicted for speeding in Switzerland. You can pay a fine even for exceeding the speed limit by 5 km/h.

Helpful tip: Don't drive with sunglasses on. The fact is that there are a lot of tunnels on the roads of Switzerland. If you enter a tunnel on a sunny day, you will find yourself in pitch darkness, which is unsafe for you and, possibly, for the vehicle moving towards you.

Connection

Communications in Switzerland, as you may have guessed, also work smoothly. Moreover, modern public telephones open up very unusual opportunities for many tourists. Thus, they have a touch screen through which you can not only make a call, send an email or look through a telephone directory, but also order train tickets.

As for mobile communications, the GSM standard is used here.

Internet access can be found everywhere: in public places or in a virtual cafe - for free or for a couple of francs.

Post offices are open on weekdays (Monday-Friday) from 07:30 to 18:30 (lunch - from 12:00 to 13:30). Most hotel lobbies have one or two computers connected to the Internet that you can use.

Safety

Tourists intending to spend a holiday in Switzerland with accommodation in rented accommodation or a hotel require a tourist visa. To receive it, you need to submit the following documents: a foreign passport and a copy of its first page, a completed application form with a signature and photograph, an original and a copy of a round-trip ticket, confirmation of prepayment for housing, confirmation of the availability of funds. In some cases, the Embassy may require other documents.

Switzerland is considered a safe country, and yet experts recommend getting insurance, which can save you from paying impressive sums for emergency medical care (you never know). And if your property is stolen, insurance will help compensate for the damage.

In general, the crime rate in Switzerland is very low. However, you should still be wary of pickpockets, especially during high season or during exhibitions and conferences. It is recommended to be especially careful at train stations and during night train trips.

In case of theft, immediately contact the police station for a report. It is better to always have your passport with you if you want to avoid problems with the police. By the way, the representatives of the law here are not distinguished by their angelic character.

The level of road safety in this country is also very high. However, winding mountain roads can pose an increased danger, especially during the summer and winter holidays, when congestion increases.

Business

Switzerland is the richest country in the world. In addition, it is one of the most important financial centers in the world: a huge number of branches of foreign banks operate here. The secret of the reliability of Swiss banks is simple: they are located in a country with a stable economic and legal system, and therefore cannot go bankrupt.

It seems completely logical that a country with such a status annually hosts international conferences and exhibitions, which attract tens and hundreds of thousands of people from different parts of the planet. Thus, the most popular exhibitions are: FESPO ZURICH (“Recreation, Travel, Sports”), SICHERHEIT (“International Safety Fair”), IGEHO (“International Exhibition of the Supply Industry, Hotel and Restaurant Business”), Internationaler Automobil-Salon Genf ( “International Automobile Salon”), Blickfang Basel (“Exhibition of Furniture, Jewelry and Fashion Design”) and many others. Conferences on political, financial, banking, industrial and cultural issues are regularly held here.

Real estate

Switzerland has long been considered one of the most closed countries for foreign property buyers. It is impossible to buy real estate here if you do not have a category B residence permit (which means a permanent visa extension for 10 years). Moreover, the buyer is also obliged to comply with the rules of the state “game”: the purchased property cannot be used for commercial purposes. A foreigner is allowed to use housing only for his own needs, with a residence time limit of 6 months a year. You can live in this house permanently only by obtaining a residence permit in this country. At the same time, there is still a limitation on area.

Houses and apartments in Switzerland are very expensive, and the country's real estate market has demonstrated its stability even during the crisis. Experts even noted a slight increase in prices for a number of objects.

The cost of housing in Switzerland depends on many factors. One of the most important is location. So, a small apartment in Villars, in a residential complex, can be purchased for some 60 thousand euros. Apartments in more expensive resorts can cost from 150 thousand to 800 thousand euros (this depends on the area and view from the window). Those who have more serious means and are looking for privacy in the lap of nature and huge personal space, of course, choose luxury villas and chalets. Such housing will cost about 5-8 million euros.

Contrary to popular belief, traveling in Switzerland is no more expensive than traveling in Germany or Italy. It’s just that the Swiss understand very well that “good money” equals “good service”. In this country, tourists always get what they pay for.

If you want to spend as little as possible, then the best option is to live at a camp site, cook by yourself, travel short distances and only by bicycle. With such a vacation, you can spend about $30 per day. You won't spend much more if you eat at fast food restaurants or student canteens at universities: lunch there is relatively inexpensive ($7-9).

Comfortable conditions within reason - a three-star hotel or inn - will cost about $100 per day. Eating out can make a big difference on your wallet. By the way, tips there (+15%) are included in the bill. The same applies to the cost of taxi services.

A visit to a museum or an acquaintance with some attraction will cost about $4. You will spend about the same amount to move around the city using public transport.

Visa information

Citizens of the CIS and the Russian Federation require a visa to travel to Switzerland, which is part of the Schengen countries. A short-term Schengen visa (category C) can be tourist (when booking a hotel or a tour around the country), guest (when visiting relatives or friends), business (if necessary, meetings with business partners) and transit (when traveling in transit to those countries that are not Schengen members).

In addition, the Swiss Embassy issues study visas for people going to study for a period of more than 90 days, and work visas for people who are employed.

The Swiss Embassy in Moscow is located at: per. Ogorodnaya Sloboda, 2/5. You can also contact the Consulate General in St. Petersburg (Chernyshevsky Ave., 17) or the Visa Section of the Embassy (Moscow, Prechistenskaya embankment, 31).

Story

The history of Switzerland dates back to the 12th millennium BC. It was then that the territory covered with eternal snow, under the pressure of global warming, began to become free of ice. Gradually the white cover changed to green, and the “revived” earth found its first inhabitants from the human race.

In ancient times, Switzerland was inhabited by the Celtic tribes of the Helvetii, hence its ancient name - Helvetia. Around the 1st century BC, after the campaigns of Julius Caesar, the country was conquered by the Romans and gained worldwide fame. In the 5th century AD, during the era of the Great Migration, it was captured by the Alemanni, Burgundians and Ostrogoths; in the 6th century - the Franks. In the 11th century, Switzerland became part of the “Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation.”

Initially, the Swiss were not a single nation; Switzerland itself was a union of communities (cantons) striving for self-government. At the beginning of August 1291, the peasants of the forest cantons of Schwyz, Uri and Unterwalden, living on the shores of Lake Firwaldstät, entered into an alliance with each other and swore an oath to help each other in the fight against the rule of the Habsburg dynasty; in a stubborn struggle they defended their independence. The Swiss celebrate this joyful event to this day: August 1 is the Swiss National Day - fireworks and fireworks illuminate the Swiss sky in memory of the events of more than seven centuries ago.

For two centuries, Swiss troops defeated the feudal armies of dukes, kings and kaisers. Provinces and cities began to join the original union. The united allies sought to expel the Habsburgs, gradually expanding their borders. In 1499, after the victory over Kaiser Maximilian I of Habsburg, Switzerland was freed from imperial rule. In 1513, there were already 13 cantons in the union. Each canton was absolutely sovereign - there was no common army, no common constitution, no capital, no central government. In the 16th century, a severe crisis occurred in Switzerland. The reason for this was a schism in the Christian church. Geneva and Zurich became centers of activity for the Protestant reformers Calvin and Zwingli. In 1529, a religious war began in Switzerland. Only a serious danger coming from outside prevented the complete collapse of the state. In 1798, the French invaded Switzerland and transformed it into the unitary Helvetic Republic. For fifteen years the country was under their rule. The situation changed only in 1815, when the Swiss introduced their own constitution with equal rights for 22 sovereign cantons. In the same year, the Vienna Peace Congress recognized the “permanent neutrality” of Switzerland and defined its borders, which are still inviolable. However, the unity of the union of cantons was not reliably ensured by the organization of a sufficiently strong central government. Only under the constitution of 1948 did the fragile union turn into a single state - federal Switzerland.

National characteristics

Switzerland is a highly developed country with intensive agriculture. It is the largest exporter of capital, the financial center of the capitalist world. Swiss banks are the most reliable. Perhaps this is explained by the fact that the country has never joined any blocs. It was and remains a stable country in Europe.

In Switzerland, four languages ​​are spoken and written: German (various local dialects of Swiss German and literary High German are spoken by 65% ​​of the population), French (18%), Italian (mainly one of the Lombard dialects, 12%), and in Romansh (in five different dialects). Having the opportunity to study all the languages ​​of the country at school, every Swiss, as a rule, understands them, although he is not always able to express himself in all of them.

The Swiss are very religious: according to the 1980 census, about 50% profess the Protestant faith, 44% the Catholic faith, 6% adhere to other religions or atheism. Traveling around Switzerland, one cannot help but notice the world-famous virtue of the Swiss - the love of cleanliness and order. They are cleaning the streets with a vacuum cleaner! James Joyce once remarked that soup here can be eaten without plates, straight from the pavement. In Switzerland, it is impossible to pass by Swiss watches, which have become the embodiment of precision, elegance, and a kind of world standard. For this small country, watches have become the most prestigious and significant export.

Culture

In Eastern Switzerland there is the Rhine Falls (average water flow - 1100 cubic meters per second). The city of Schaffhausen is located near the waterfall. This part of the country abounds in variegated flower carpets: alpine rose (rhododendron), edelweiss, saxifrage, prolomnik. Most of the plants are perennial herbs and shrubs. Their flowers are relatively large and bright; both flowers and plants themselves are often fragrant. Small towns and villages with an unobtrusive charm fit perfectly into such a natural landscape. In Central Switzerland you can admire Mount Pilatus - a favorite vacation spot for both residents of the country and foreign tourists.

Switzerland is an amazing country. It contains both the beauty of nature and outstanding creations of human hands in a small space. At every step there are traces of various civilizations. The ruins in Nyon and Avenches are reminiscent of the Romans, in particular the amphitheater for 10,000 visitors. In Basel, Geneva and Lausanne, a variety of Romanesque and Gothic architectural monuments attract attention. The Castello di Montebello fortress from the Renaissance has been preserved - one of the places of pilgrimage for tourists. The Baroque is richly represented, mainly in the monasteries of Einsiedeln, Engelberg and the churches of Kreuzlingen and Arlesheim.

The architectural appearance of the city of Schaffhausen is dominated by Baroque and Rococo, and the oldest surviving buildings date back to the late Gothic period. Along a path paved with stones you can climb to the ancient fortress of Munot. The center of Eastern Switzerland is the city of St. Gallen, which, according to legend, owed its birth to the Irish monk Gallus. During the construction of the monastery, Gallus was helped by a bear; his image can be seen today on the city coat of arms. The famous cathedral in St. Gallen and the monastery library are considered the main monuments of the Baroque style in Switzerland.

The cultural life of the country is diverse and rich. Every big city has its own theater and symphony orchestra. The most famous musical theaters are the Opera House in Zurich, the Grand Theater in Geneva and the Basel City Theater. Summer in Switzerland is the time for festivals; they take place in Lausanne, Zurich, Montreux and many other cities. In addition to world-famous international music festivals, Lucerne hosts an annual carnival. The holiday always begins on Thursday and lasts until the first Wednesday of Lent.

Swiss cuisine

The cuisine of Switzerland enjoys well-deserved recognition among gourmets all over the world, and the Swiss themselves at home are by no means shy away from Lucullean delights. So, the favorite pastime of Zurich residents is walking around restaurants and cafes, and if they praise you about one of the eateries, you can safely go there. The local cuisine has been strongly influenced by its neighbors, primarily the “older French cousin” and Italian cuisine, as well as the purely Swabian table, but still it has enough of its own delicacies that are widespread in other countries. A typical Swiss dish is the famous fondue, which is best enjoyed when it is cold outside and raining or snowing. Then sit comfortably in front of the fireplace and, pricking pieces of bread crumb onto a long fork, dip them in the melted cheese. It is best to drink this delicacy with white wine or tea.

Another famous cheese dish that has become widespread is raclette from Wallis. The very name of the dish (“raclette” (French) - large grater) reveals the principle of its preparation. The cheese is grated on a coarse grater or broken into small pieces, heated and served with potatoes. However, to enjoy the taste and aroma of cheese, it is not necessary to reheat it. The best example is Emmental (more often called Swiss) and Appenzell cheeses, which enjoy well-deserved recognition among gourmets, as well as Grayerz cheese. Vacherin, which is prepared only in winter, and Schabziger, a cheese with herbs from Glernerland, have an exquisite taste and aroma.

Among the Ticino delicacies we should mention, first of all, small soft formagini cheeses, which are made from cottage cheese, as well as various varieties of mountain cheese, the most famous of which is Piora. Another famous Swiss delicacy is Zurich schnitzel (veal in cream sauce). Those who like to eat heartily prefer the Berner Platte - a dish of sauerkraut with beans and fried potatoes. Bern is also considered the birthplace of the famous Rosti - thinly sliced ​​fried potatoes with cracklings.

Now is the time to think about soups, for example, Basel flour soup, barley soup from Bünden or Busekka - Ticin tripe soup. The national dish of sunny southern Switzerland is, of course, polenta, a dish of corn grits with cream and pieces of fruit. To the south of Saint Gotthard, risotto is a favorite - a rice dish prepared Milanese style (with saffron), with mushrooms or peasant style (with vegetables).

The menu of Swiss cuisine also includes fish dishes: rudd, trout, pike and aigli (freshwater perch), which are prepared differently everywhere. In late autumn and winter, you can try game delicacies, such as roe deer back, in many restaurants. And another delicacy, famous on both sides of the Swiss border, deserves your attention. This is Bünden meat, dried beef, cut into thin slices. Those who first tasted it in Valais, and not in Graubünden, call this dish “Welsh-style meat.”

The Alpine republic is famous for its wines. White wines are widely known - “Dezaley” and “St.-Saphorin”, “Fendant” and “Johannisberg”, “Twanner”. The best varieties of red wines are the exquisitely fine “Rose der CEil-de-Perdrix”, strong “Dole”, “Pinot Noir” and “Merlot”. But perhaps the best Bünden wines are made in the Italian town of Veltalin, which since 1815 has become the Swiss canton of Grisons. “Sassella”, “Grumello”, “Inferno” - these are the names of strong ruby-red wines that owe their luxurious bouquet to the generous southern sun. All that remains is to say a few words about all kinds of sweets served for dessert, afternoon tea, and evening coffee. These include fruit pies, Zug cherry cake, carrot cake, Engadine nut cake, and of course, the famous Swiss chocolate.

Economy

Switzerland is one of the most developed and richest countries in the world. Switzerland is a highly developed industrial country with intensive, highly productive agriculture and an almost complete absence of any mineral resources. According to Western economists, it is among the top ten countries in the world in terms of economic competitiveness. The Swiss economy is closely connected with the outside world, primarily with EU countries, through thousands of threads of industrial cooperation and foreign trade transactions. OK. 80-85% of Switzerland's trade turnover is with EU countries. More than 50% of all cargo from the northern part of Western Europe to the south and in the opposite direction passes through Switzerland. After noticeable growth in 1998-2000. The country's economy entered a recession. In 2002, GDP grew by 0.5% to CHF 417 billion. fr. Inflation was at 0.6%. The unemployment rate reached 3.3%. The economy employs approx. 4 million people (57% of the population), of which: in industry - 25.8%, including in mechanical engineering - 2.7%, in the chemical industry - 1.7%, in agriculture and forestry - 4.1% , in the service sector - 70.1%, including in trade - 16.4%, in banking and insurance - 5.5%, in the hotel and restaurant business - 6.0%. The policy of neutrality allowed us to avoid the devastation of two world wars.

Policy

Switzerland is a federal republic. The current constitution was adopted in 1999. The federal authorities are in charge of issues of war and peace, foreign relations, army, railways, communications, money issue, approval of the federal budget, etc.

The head of the country is the president, elected every year on a rotation basis from among the members of the Federal Council.

The highest legislative body is the bicameral parliament - the Union Assembly, consisting of the National Council and the Council of Cantons (Chambers of equal rights).

The National Council (200 deputies) is elected by the population for a 4-year term using a system of proportional representation.

The federal structure and constitution of Switzerland were enshrined in the constitutions of 1848, 1874 and 1999.

Now Switzerland is a federation of 26 cantons (20 cantons and 6 half-cantons). Until 1848 (except for the short period of the Helvetic Republic), Switzerland was a confederation). Each canton has its own constitution and laws, but their rights are limited by the federal constitution. Legislative power belongs to Parliament, and executive power belongs to the Federal Council (government).

There are 46 deputies in the Canton Council, who are elected by the population using a majority system of relative majority in 20 two-mandate districts and 6 single-mandate districts, that is, 2 people each. from each canton and one from half-canton for 4 years (in some cantons - for 3 years).

All laws adopted by parliament can be approved or rejected in a popular (optional) referendum. To do this, after the adoption of the law, 50 thousand signatures must be collected within 100 days.

The right to vote is granted to all citizens over 18 years of age.

The highest executive power belongs to the government - the Federal Council, consisting of 7 members, each of whom heads one of the departments (ministries). Members of the Federal Council are elected at a joint meeting of both chambers of parliament. All members of the Federal Council alternately hold the positions of President and Vice President.

The foundations of the Swiss state were laid in 1291. Until the end of the 18th century, there were no central government bodies in the country, but all-Union councils - tagsatzung - were periodically convened.

Swiss quality- it is, above all, synonymous with reliability and accuracy. There is a reason why there is a saying “walk like a Swiss watch.” The Swiss watchmaking tradition has gained great fame thanks to the above-mentioned features with which it is identified by customers all over the world.

What does "Swiss Made" mean in a watch?

Swiss Made designation is nothing less than proof of the origin of the watch. It is a clear answer to the age-old question "Where was the watch made?", while at the same time ensuring the highest quality craftsmanship. Of course, some watches that cannot boast of the Swiss Made label try to convey Swiss quality to their customers in a different way - this is the case with Zeppelin and Junkers watches, which, despite being produced in Germany, use advanced Swiss-made movements , which ensures their high accuracy.

An inscription that signifies Swiss production not only has a real meaning, but is also important to the subconscious of everyone who looks at this watch. It is clear to everyone where the best watches are made, which means that having a Swiss watch is an extraordinary prestige. Of course, Japanese watches from brands like Citizen or Orient are not Swiss at all, but it is the belief in the superior quality of European timers that makes them more successful.

Brands such as Adriatica, Atlantic or Roamer are widely recognized thanks to the care of their manufacturers for the high quality that has been the heritage of Swiss watch manufacturers for many years. By using a wide range of powertrains - automatic movements, solar movements or quartz movements, they have gained the sympathy of enthusiasts of each type of disc.

Protecting the quality of Swiss watches

To preserve and protect this unique quality, several years ago the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, known as the FHS, decided to work on changes to the legal regulations regarding the warranty and service of high-quality Swiss watches. This was to stop the overuse of the phrase “Swiss Made”, which is a guarantee of high quality watches - until now, for a product to bear this designation, it was necessary to have a min. 50% of its value was produced in Switzerland, and the company that carries it out paid taxes in that country.

As of January 1, 2017, the law came into force, raising the bar somewhat for Swiss manufacturers to order lettering. The new Trademark and Mark Protection Act introduces a requirement that a minimum of 60% of watch production costs must be made by the manufacturer in Switzerland. Costs may include: production, assembly or research costs, while costs of transportation, packaging, distribution and natural products not present in the country of origin are excluded. Thanks to this, brands such as Aviator or Invicta can boast of maintaining an exclusive designation that is only available to certain brands. See how the Adriatica brand works, boasting over 150 years of Swiss tradition.

Should you choose a Swiss Made watch?

The Swiss style of watchmaking is recognized throughout the world, so the new rules are great news for timer enthusiasts. Such decisions, first of all, will increase customer confidence in the quality of Swiss watches. By purchasing a timer with the words "Swiss Made" on the dial, we have 100% confidence that the product was wholly or substantially made in Switzerland, and therefore of high quality materials that meet local standards. It will also eliminate watches from brands that label their products as Swiss when in fact their products are marketed primarily outside of that country. Should you choose Swiss watches? Definitely! Swiss brands use only proven, developed over many years and often patented technologies, such as the famous Tourbillon, thanks to which, when buying a watch from one of them, everyone experiences the consequences of many years of creative efforts of watchmakers.
