A Swiss product is not categorically a good product. The Swiss are as capable of producing crap as anyone else, and like much of advertising, the lingering cache of Swiss-Made ignores the fact that many once august watch houses are having their cases and more stamped out in Asian sweatshops by folks who don't know a rotor from a balance spring. 50% of the parts making up the movement must be manufactured in Switzerland and assembly must be completed in Switzerland to get the label.
I added to an earlier post - didn't change anything written to alter a previously stated point of view.
I don't have anything against quartz watches, and if keeping accurate time is your main goal when purchasing a watch, well, nothing wrong with that. I can ask a passerby for the time or look at my phone. My interest in watches has nothing to do with knowing what time it is, not to say that I don't want the watch to keep accurate time. It's the how it gets there that interests me.
