What is the logo of a Swiss watch and how can you tell it is Swiss original?

The symbol of a Swiss watch is the Swiss made logo on the watch. The most confusing thing is that there is only one word "Swiss". Most of these watches mean that they are brands registered in Switzerland, indicating that the brand is Swiss and the watch may not be made in Switzerland. Because only watches made in Switzerland can be Swiss watches.

It can be distinguished from the following aspects:

1. It must have a Swiss movement ("Swiss Movement") logo: According to the "Regulations on the Use of the 'Swiss' Logo for Watches" Article 2, the definition of Swiss movement is: the assembly of the movement is completed in Switzerland; the final inspection of the movement is completed in Switzerland; in addition to the assembly cost, the price of the Swiss original parts in the movement accounts for at least 50% of the total original price. If the movement is made in Switzerland and the entire watch is not assembled in Switzerland, the "Swiss" logo can only appear on the movement that is not exposed. Only the words "Mouvement Suisse" or "Swiss Movement" are allowed on the appearance of the watch.

2. There must be a Swiss Case logo: The conditions for using the "Swiss Case" logo on the watch box are: The main process is completed in Switzerland; assembly and inspection Completed in Switzerland; at least 50% of the production process is completed in Switzerland. If the box is marked "Swiss watch box" but contains a non-Swiss watch, the movement or the origin mark of the entire watch must be affixed to the outer shell of the watch.

3. There must be a Swiss Quartz (“Swiss Quartz”) logo: Only watches of Swiss origin can use this logo. Other non-Swiss watches using Swiss quartz movements are not entitled to use it.

4. Swiss watch strap logo: "Swiss Made" can only be indicated on the watch strap if the watch and strap are both made in Switzerland. Only watch straps whose main processes are completed for more than 50% of the time in Switzerland can be considered Swiss-made. If a Swiss-made watch strap is used on a non-Swiss watch, the watch strap can only be clearly marked as Swiss-made, such as "Swiss watch strap."

Identification method

1. Check the appearance of the watch: The appearance of the Swiss watch can be judged from the case, cover, dial, and hands. examine. The Swiss watch case should be symmetrical with no scratches or blisters, and the back cover and case should be tightly screwed together. The two pairs of holes for installing the watch strap spring should be centered and of appropriate depth to prevent the watch strap spring from falling off easily. The surface cover should be smooth and transparent, without scratches or defects. The coating on the dial and hands should be bright, and the minute and second scale lines and luminous dots on the dial should be perfectly illuminated.

2. Check the sensitivity of the watch: The sensitivity of a Swiss watch refers to how quickly the balance wheel in the watch starts on its own. If an unwinded watch is shaken slightly and the second hand starts and then stops quickly, or if the second hand starts to move after only winding the clockwork for two or three times, it means that the watch is not working properly after winding the clockwork two or three times. Just start walking, which shows the sensitivity of this watch. For high-frequency fast (pendulum) watches, due to the greater stiffness of the hairspring, it takes a few more windings and windings before the second hand moves. This is a normal phenomenon and does not mean that the sensitivity is low.

3. Check the efficiency of winding the watch: When winding a normal Swiss watch, your hand should feel gradually tightening. When the winding does not move, it means that the winding has been fully wound. If there is an abnormal sound of "chirping, chirping" when winding, or the stem slips, it indicates that there is something wrong with the winding part.
