We have a room full of Asian people, everyone has the tools and the kit to do routine maintenance service for the watches, and you assume it's the plant where they build the watches, instead of the obvious explanation: This is a pic of the "BSC" in Asia.
Same as taking a pic in the Rolex service centers in Asia and asking whats Swiss Made about Rolex :)

Pardon my incompetent of expression. I took the picture from a page of Breitling Advs. It is their center in Switzerland.

I don't quite understand the point of this thread.

It is a picture of watchmakers. I'm sure they are plenty qualified to work there.

that doesnt look like the breitling plant. a so called differentiator is that breitling movement is made by more than one craftsman on high tech manufacture plant. some high ends brands have just one watchmaker make the entire movement assembly.

OP post is silly.
That's a room full of service center technicians.
NOT watchmakers.!!

Rowlf · 17 December 2015, 02:02 AM

Don't they often send certified watchmakers to Switzerland to study? Logically they should come from all over.

Cheers,

Ben

Thank you for the very informative post OP.

Revolting....really? You serious, man ??
You are in Muscat and find Asians revolting in Swiss factories?/

Besides that's not the Swiss factory.
Its a service center --- those machines on the table say it all.

Hans Wilsdorf wasn't Swiss.....but following the move from London to Geneva all Rolex & Tudor are Swiss made....or does that mean we've all been fooled?
