Swissness

Dear customer

Our team of experts pays close attention to every detail of the case and the movement, to make sure that cutting-edge quality criteria are met and that every timepiece we produce for “de Berger’’ is unique.

Every single piece of our collection has been individually crafted and has undergone very stringent testing according to our internal high quality standards, inspired by the Swiss watch industry.

Depending on the collection choice, we can use three kinds of movements:

• An exclusive Swiss Made line dedicated to premium timepieces.
• A modified Swiss movement which has been assembled or processed abroad as a hand-crafted product. These movements are engineered for timepieces with high-end functionality.
• A foreign movement engineered with a high-tech manufacturer. It meets strictly to the Swiss norms and labels and provides a refined quality production, selected only for our stylish timepieces (Deluxe Edition).

It is our company’s pledge, to only select the very best suppliers in order to keep making the best watches. 

For generations, the watch industry has been part of the country’s core reference labels. Nowadays “de Berger & Bears AG’’ has adopted modern methods to produce and to market some of the best mechanical watches. We are deeply committed on giving new life to a watchmaking tradition long rooted in the history of our region.

Note: To be regarded as a SWISS MADE mechanical or automatic movement, the movement must have undergone technical development in Switzerland.

For exclusively mechanical movements, at least mechanical construction and prototyping of the movement as a whole:

• have been assembled in Switzerland
• have been inspected by the manufacturer in Switzerland
• manufacturing costs of at least 60% must be generated in Switzerland

At least 50% of the value of all the constituent parts must be of Swiss manufacture but excluding the assembly cost.
