MODERN COMPLICATED WATCHES - FIRST-CLASS TIMER INSTRUMENTS. THEY CAN PERFORM DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS, FROM MEASURING THE TIME OF DIVING UNDER WATER TO WARNING ABOUT A SNOW AVALANCH WHILE CLIMBING TO KILIMANJARO
There are certain conditions under which a watch can be considered genuine Swiss. And these conditions are backed up by a special Swiss law regulating the right to the origin of precise mechanisms. So, only watches with the Geneve marking can be truly Swiss. As a rule, it is placed under the name of the company on the front side of the dial. However, the right to label must still be earned!
For example, a watch must be Swiss-made, and at least one of the main assembly operations should be in the canton of Geneva. The process is strictly monitored by the "Office of optional watch monitoring in Geneva." Seven people who change every four years. The whole process is funded by the state budget. At the same time, mechanisms that meet the highest requirements of watchmaking are marked with Poincon de Geneve or Geneva Seal (Geneva Brand) and are more prestigious inscriptions than Geneve. However, they are awarded companies for extraordinary achievements in the watch industry of the canton of Geneva.
