What is a Swiss watch? At first sight, this question seems to be strange.
Let us reason, though. Firstly, nowadays for a watch to have got a cherished tag "Swiss Made" it is enough to meet several requirements.
For example, a watch will be considered a Swiss one if 25% of its parts are produced in Switzerland and some assembly operations are carried out there as well.
Secondly, Asian manufacturers
have recently begun to register their companies in Swiss cantons
because of the fact that Swiss wrist watches
have come into fashion. With this, the companies are entitled to call
their watches Swiss ones. There is not a slightest wish to offend Asian
manufacturers amidst which one can see the grandees of the world watch
industry, but in majority of cases the quality of their products is
inferior to the replicas of the elite watches.
Modern technologies ensure the possibility to make the wrist watch
replicas at such a level, that they are practically
indistinguishable from genuine Swiss watches.
Surely, one should not expect an elite watch replica to
have the same mechanism as a genuine model. But this does not affect the
exterior of a replica in any way. Besides, the
quartz is more convenient and practical, and if we remember the myth
about the accuracy of the Swiss watch (in
reality any mechanical wrist watch has an
error of up to 1 second per day), then the only requirement to the
inside part of an elite watch replica is its quality. A good quartz
mechanism secures continuous operation without changing the battery for
three years.
High-quality wrist watch replicas of Swiss
manufacturers are made in accordance with all
technological norms for creating wrist watches.
Normally, the elite watch replicas can be
distinguished by the quality of the fine processing. For example, if we
compare the bracelet side surfaces of a genuine Swiss watch and
its low-quality replica, the difference will
be noticeable practically at first sight...
