Si sólo se cumpliera esa condición -calibre suizo-, podría llevar marcado Swiss movement.
Swiss made sólo puede ser portado por relojes con movientos suizos, montados en su correspondientes cajas en Suiza y con control de calidad realizado también en Suiza.
Un movimiento es suizo si esta ensamblado en Suiza, si la supervisión se ha hecho en Suiza y si el coste de los componentes de procedencia suiza supone al menos el 50 % del coste total del calibre -excluido el coste de la mano de obra asociada al montaje-
Que ponga
Swiss made en la esfera del reloj no garantiza que su caja o que su pulsera sean suizas. Puede que sí, o puede que no.
A Swiss watch
Only when it is Swiss, may a watch carry the indications "Swiss made" or "Swiss", or any other expression containing the word "Swiss" or its translation, on the outside. According to Section 1a OSM, a watch is considered to be Swiss if:
- its movement is Swiss;
- its movement is cased up in Switzerland;
- and the manufacturer carries out the final inspection in Switzerland.
A Swiss watch movement
As we have seen, to be Swiss, a watch must use a Swiss movement. According to Section 2 OSM, a movement is considered to be Swiss if:
- it has been assembled in Switzerland;
- it has been inspected by the manufacturer in Switzerland; and
- the components of Swiss manufacture account for at least 50 percent of the total value, without taking into account the cost of assembly.
If the movement fulfills these conditions, but the watch is not assembled in Switzerland, the "Swiss" indication may be affixed to one of the components of the movement. On the outside of the watch, may then only appear the "mouvement suisse" or "Swiss movement" indication. Section 3 § 3 OSM requires that the word "movement" appear in full, and be written in the same type-face, of identical size and colour, as the word "Swiss".
