Movement Sourcing
Swiss watch movement suppliers
Movement suppliers and independent manufactures produce calibres, complications and movement modules. Access to Swiss movements is often the bottleneck for new brands, so knowing which suppliers work with independent labels is valuable early in a project.

About Swiss Made
Under Swiss law, a watch may be labelled Swiss Made only if its movement is Swiss, it is cased and finally inspected in Switzerland, and at least 60% of its manufacturing costs are generated in Switzerland. Always confirm with your supplier which steps they perform.
