Making Sense Of The Sellita SW200 Movement: Same As ETA 2824-2
Lots of people are starting to notice that watch makers are starting to indicate the movement of a watch as “Swiss Movement.” For most of us, such an ambiguous designation is unacceptable, as this can mean just about anything. Strictly speaking, for a watch or movement to legally have the “Swiss Made” designation upon it, the watch or movement does not have to be made or assembled completely in Switzerland.

For Mark, watches are tools. Essential tools, but also ones that can look good while doing their job.
