Swiss watch prototyping and engineering services

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.
