robertk Posted June 2, 2006 Report Share Posted June 2, 2006 Eta's are made in China and exported to Switzerland. Cheese is made in California and exported to Switzerland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAHLER Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 ETA makes the movements in China. They are shipped to Switzerland and usually one cog (50% of the value due to the cost of Swiss labour vs Chinese labour) is changed. In doing this, they can call it "Swiss Made". Don't kid yourself that ETA movements are made by hand by old yodelling men in lederhosen chomping on chocolate and holey cheese while their nazi-gold-powered cuckoo-clock chimes the hour ... Now, when people like IWC get them, they rip them apart and tweak them to buggery, just to add value, but the ebauches are shipped from China directly to their mountainside fondu-smelling cottages. Not only ETA but all make their watches to the foreign countries... It's the Swiss law that allows this "fraud".... Bracelets, cases, and how much other everything is done to the foreign countries... It comes in Switzerland. It's finished up with greater care and it becomes the expensive watch that all dream... This is first "fraud" ... "swiss fraud"...
