Many Chinese tourists direct recognition, buy clocks is one of the objectives they travel to Switzerland.

    Swiss clocks are a lot of Chinese customers as successful and a status symbol, there are many Chinese people agree is a very popular saying: Swiss clocks can increase the value. However, insiders pointed out that Switzerland, Swiss clocks are now mostly large-scale industrial production of consumer goods, is not a suitable investment products.

    Some branded clocks with specific times, indeed collectible.

    Some brands produce only a dozen a year technology unique limited form, to highlight corporate image pursuit of technical excellence, these clocks were early buyers are usually predetermined, there is a certain value to the collection. That is, the saying goes, rare.

    But now the vast majority of the Swiss clock does not have such a scarcity. Some clock brands now annual output already exceeded one million, such a situation is no longer rare Swiss watch, let alone to preserve the value of appreciation he said.

    Swiss industry, told reporters, in the past, is handmade watches, Seiko secret agents, setting a watchmaker effort and intelligence, like arts and crafts; now, after the clock to achieve industrial production, become a common consumer goods, the price will also increase with output decline . Therefore, consumers should buy Swiss clocks more rational and calm.

    Swiss watch, made in China

    100 years ago, it marked on the dial with a "SWISS MADE" clocks from Switzerland, perhaps a quiet little village. But under the advance of economic globalization today, its movement may come from Switzerland, the hands may have come from a factory in Shenzhen, China, the case may be manufactured on a factory assembly line is completed in Hong Kong, and on the dial cloisonne painting might Reviewed by Japanese master hand, this "set 100 of the director," the phenomenon is normal.

    Switzerland received the first foundry to be favored by customers in Taiwan, according to Chinese official statistics clock Network, early owners want to export to Taiwan clocks Swiss Omega watches, Bulova, Casio also helped Japan, stars, Seiko, etc. companies do clock parts.

    In recent years, Taiwan and Hong Kong clock OEM manufacturing are faced with the problem of transformation and upgrading, both will want to move inland production base, Dongguan, Guangdong, Shenzhen and other Air has a branch in Hong Kong clock company, a major human cost of the Mainland low, land and raw materials are cheaper.

IWC, TAG Heuer, Rolex, Piaget clocks and clocks of the case are OEM manufacturers in Shenzhen and Dongguan. Some brands such as Omega, Longines and so early in the 1990s had developed a supplier, the Swiss clock foundry industry for a long time.

    Given the large Swiss brand insists century-old brand, has maintained handmade every clock such advertisements can not believe everything. Adhere to dialectical materialism, some brands Integrated brand watchmaking history, the annual output, output quality craft products, pure manual build is still possible. But for those with an annual output million to find grandfather bumbling brand pictures brand, hand it really far-fetched. Before media has revealed grandfather in the following table plants play an important role in the main: assembly apprentice, complicated and super complicated menus, take pictures do image.
