CLAUDE BERNARD PROUD HERITAGE QUARTZ Swiss made watches

Swiss watches are a legend that perhaps needs no special introduction. The history of watchmaking in Switzerland is a fascinating story, and for many years watchmaking had to face competition from American watchmaking. However, when you say Swiss watches, you can imagine a really high quality, durable, sophisticated watch with excellent performance.

Swiss watch manufacturing

Under the term Swiss watches or the term "Swiss made", you can imagine the highest quality and most reliable products in the world. But it's not just that it's a product made in Switzerland. Swiss made is also a term covered by a legal form that was codified in 1971. This means that if we are talking about Swiss watches that say they are made in Switzerland, then they are bound by a certain set of conditions that they have to meet.

First of all, the movement that is found in the watch is of Swiss origin. The second condition is that the movement is encapsulated in a watch within the borders of the Swiss state and thirdly, the inspection of the watch must be carried out in the mother country. This means that not all watches have to be made directly in Switzerland. Some parts of a Swiss watch (such as the bracelet and the glass) can also be made outside of Switzerland.

Why buy a Swiss watch?

We say all the time that Swiss watches are high quality, durable, reliable and in many cases very luxurious and expensive indeed, but why is that even the case?

Handmade Swiss watches

Swiss watches are in high demand, but all this was preceded by a long history and production of Swiss watches. Depending on this, the watches have gradually evolved until sophisticated watches have been created that have a quality movement.

This can usually be serviced, so the watch can be used for several decades. In addition, these are often handmade watches that contain very solid components made of high quality and durable materials , rather than plastic like standard watches.

Swiss watch quality

Another reason is the quality of the materials used. Gold, platinum, carbon, sapphire. The Swiss know no compromise when it comes to their choice of materials. Swiss watches are also made of 316L surgical steel, which is very strong, high-quality, corrosion-resistant, and therefore less susceptible to wear and tear. Swiss made surgical steel watches are also hypoallergenic, so they are suitable for people who have allergies to gold or silver or lesser quality alloys.

Durability of Swiss watches

The durability of the watches is confirmed by the abundant use of sapphire crystal, which Swiss watches often have. The extreme Mohs grade 9 guarantees excellent scratch resistance, which can occur not only in normal circumstances, but also in minor accidents

Men's and Ladies Swiss watches
