@skynebula yeah, auto-chronos are really quite pricey these days

They do have a couple of quartz chronos that are far more reasonably priced, flyback rattrapante for £535 which is pretty damn neat (their "Pendine" and "Ainsdale")

@troubleMoney Ah, even the quartz are Swiss made, nice!
They may be got inspired by Shinola :)

@troubleMoney NB : Shinola are not Swiss made. They're made in USA with Swiss parts

@skynebula I'm lead to believe that Farer do all of the assembly in Switzerland with their design offices in England, certainly wouldn't be the first brand to do that

As to how many of the individual parts aside from the movement are manufactured in Switzerland, well, there's ongoing arguments in the industry about exactly how Swiss a Swiss Made watch is

@troubleMoney Yeah, many discussions about that. But it's far far from the Made in Italy scam in fashion. Switzerland being quite conservative and proud of its watch industry, I think we can still trust the "Swiss Made" label.
But then, it's true that we can find many differences in quality within Switzerland. But ETA is a quote good movement maker (they provide so many big brands, even "undercover"... :)

@skynebula Oh yeah, certainly far from the "Made in Italy" thing, I was more referring to the origins of the case/crystal/dial/that sort of thing

ETA movements are still as good as they ever were, they have a very well earned reputation as solid workhorse movements
