I just found this. It is a little dated, but still interesting. You may of course have read it before, if you have, I apologise.

Interesting read, thanks for that Doug. I think that whatever happens the price of watches seems bound to increase. :(
F.T.F.A.
Good link, good read & I agree with Magirus - which is becoming too much of a habit!

It still is interesting Doug,
it was nice to read
the way the Swatch group is trying to dominate the business is worrying;
I am still waiting to see what influence this will have on the medium priced brands that are not owned by Swatch or a related 'luxury items brand' (LMVH e.a.)
For many of those the availability of decent priced good quality Ebouches is essential .... and new manufacturers will make the playing field far more interesting...

Thanks Doug, makes interesting reading.
Luckily little manufacturers like Nomos, and if we can believe the latest news Mühle are busy developing their own movements.
So there is still hope in that direction.
Cheers,

Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Do Seiko make their own? Surely they could make something decent for not much money!
I thought they were already doing that.Originally Posted by leon

Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
lets go back in time and buy old watchmaking gear and ship it to the 3rd world!
They do, but they aren't Swiss.
good point, maybe a little relocation? haha
Interesting read, thank you.
