Swiss watch labels are the first thing that comes to people’s minds when they think of luxury watches. The country has been building watches for over a century. A lot of top master watchmakers have handed down their skill and expertise passed on from generations. Swiss-made labels are known for their impeccable quality, technical prowess, and innovative concepts. They are considered some of the world’s most well-crafted watches.

Swiss-made watches have intricately designed and constructed mechanical movements that have made a mark of their own. The country’s long-standing reputation comes from its expertise in all the various crafts that go into fine watchmaking. Some of the popular Swiss watch brands are Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Corum watches, Edox watches, Graham watches, Vulcan watches, etc.

A watch made in Switzerland showcases the years of the country’s watch making legacy and keeps on upholding it with the finest materials. A watch is considered ‘Swiss made’ by law only if it meets a specific set of standards, such as
• The movement or mechanics behind the watch are of Swiss origin. This is when it was developed in Switzerland.
• The movement of the watch is at a location within the borders of Switzerland. It is controlled and assembled in Switzerland by the Manufacture d'Horlogerie, and at least 60% of its costs are Swiss.
• They carry out the final inspection on the watch within Switzerland.

Why buy a Swiss watch?

Now you know how Swiss-made watches are defined, but the question is: why are people so eager to buy Swiss watches?

Swiss-made watches are of superior quality. The credit goes to the high standards of the mechanism of the watches. These watches are handcrafted and have metal gear. All the components are link pins made using highly durable materials, which means they can be used for an entire lifetime. Swiss-made watches are made with almost 316L surgical steel. These watches are made up of high-grade, strong steel that lasts much longer than normal steel. These watches are least likely due to their regular wear and use. Another feature of these watches is that they are also hypoallergenic, making them perfect for people who have allergies to inferior alloys.

These time pieces are generally made using sapphire crystal as their ‘face’. They are encased in an extremely hard material with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale. This makes ‘Swiss-made’ time pieces highly scratch-resistant. These warks do not scratch under most regular conditions. In contrast, the standard ‘Swiss-made’ watches use only a hardened mineral crystal, which is a softer and cheaper material and is not so long-lasting.

If you want to own timeless timepieces from Swiss watch brands, you don’t always need to go to Switzerland to buy one. Swiss-based suppliers are offering Swiss-made watches online. These watches are 100% authentic new and original Swiss watches that come with the manufacturer’s warranty.
