archibald Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Just ran accross this thread over @ Watchuseek. Someone claims Claro movements are tian-jin and seagull movements decorated in switzerland, therby earning a swiss made designation. We all know the swiss made gimmick is a gnat's a$$ away from meaningless, but I'd be very surprised if anyone could take a chinese movement (not an ETA made in an asian factory) throw some screws and pearlage on it and call it swiss. If that IS true, there are a lot of folks crapping on "cheap chinese fakes" whilst strapped at the wrist to a "swiss" watch powered by the same movement as a $108 rep and it sure looks like the Swiss will do anything to keep their monoply on fine watches including allowing the mislabeling of chinese products..LOL! http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.ph...highlight=cl888 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statos Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 (edited) Not impossible at all. EU laws for example allow for a product to be labeled Edited June 16, 2008 by statos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
