Replica Watches World

Fake Rolex Replica Watches and Swiss Made Politics

Rolex watches have long been the premier luxury watch in the world.  Rolex has come to be status symbol synonymous with affluence.  Owning Rolex watches is a right of passage towards being seen as well-to-do. 

The major Swiss watch manufacturers dominate the luxury watch world.  Breitling, Cartier and others are all amongst the most premier watch manufacturers in the world.  Their dominance over the luxury watch market is so complete that non-Swiss watches are considered inadequate without inspection.  Switzerland developed “Swiss Made” laws controlling “how Swiss” a watch is.  This effectively keeps control of the luxury watch trade within the country.  Basically, the watches movement must be constructed in Switzerland, the assembly must be in Switzerland, and the final inspection must take place in Switzerland if the watch can carry the label “Swiss made.”  These rules were laid out by the Federal government in 1971 legislation.  They also include a statute that at least 50% of the components be Swiss made. 

(Note that the ‘Swiss made’ label differs from the standard,  ‘Made in ____’ that most countries apply to products.)

 

Rolex watches support a current movement to make Swiss watches “more Swiss.”  This has been challenged by other players in the game because, as noted earlier, Rolex is the undisputed leader in luxury watches and can afford to produce in Switzerland while smaller companies will have difficulty doing so.  Globalization trends have allowed for cheap manufacturing to take place around the world.  This helps smaller players keep costs down and compete with the giants.  Competition is extremely important if we want the watch industry to remain vital for years to come.

Since the Rolex brand carries such cultural weight – it has become a status symbol as stated above – it does not need to keep costs down.  Rolex watches will sell at extraordinarily high prices – people are willing to shell out greatly for them.  The movement created aims to increase the Swiss content in watches from 50% to 80%.  It has created stratification and disunity in the Swiss watch world.

Amidst this stratification have immerged quality fake Rolex watches and other Swiss replica watches to compete.  These watches need not meet these Swiss conditions.  This allows them to assemble and manufacture in places where costs can be kept low.  For instance, the Rolex watches available at AmatoryWatches are made and assembled in Asia.  Japanese replica watches are made with technology that rivals the Swiss – the watches are modeled after the originals and made with comparable components.  However, free of the politics and stringent guidelines, the costs are much lower.  Effectively, these products are of equal quality but lower price.
