Swiss watches are well known and expensive. But the watchmaking industry was not born and raised in Switzerland. /kloc-At the end of 0/6, the religious struggle in France led to a massacre, and Huguenots who followed Calvin fled to Switzerland, bringing with them the technology of making clocks and watches. This French skill combined with the local gold, silver and jewelry industry has made the Swiss watchmaking industry.

It spread outward from Geneva near France, mainly along the Jura Mountains to the northeast, all the way to Schaaffhausen in the northeast, and blossomed everywhere in the northern half of Switzerland.

Identification method

(1), view the appearance of the watch: the appearance of the Swiss watch can be viewed from the case, cover, dial and hands. Swiss watch case should be angular and symmetrical, without scratches and sand holes, and the back cover and case should be tightened. The two pairs of holes for installing the strap spring should be centered and the depth should be appropriate, so that the watch spring is not easy to fall off. The surface covering should be smooth and transparent, without scratches and defects. The electroplating of dial and hands should be bright, and the minute and second scale lines and luminous points of dial should be completely luminous.

(2) Check the sensitivity of the watch: The sensitivity of the Swiss watch means that the balance wheel in the watch will start by itself sooner or later. For a watch that is not wound, if you shake it gently, the second hand will stop soon after starting, or it will start to go after two or three turns, which shows the sensitivity of this watch.

(3) Check the winding efficiency of the watch: When a normal Swiss watch is wound, the hand should feel loose and tight, and when it does not move, it means that the spring is full. Such as the abnormal sound of "click, click" when winding, or the phenomenon that the handle shaft slips, all indicate that there is something wrong with the winding part.
