Frequently Asked Questions

Fjordson Watches is based in Belgium and has production facilities in Switzerland. Each watch is made in Switzerland to ensure the highest quality. Rigorous quality checks are performed throughout the entire production and assembly process.

The label "Swiss made" can only be used under strict conditions and supervision of the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH.

Watch manufacturers can only use the label if all of the following conditions are fulfilled:

• At least 60% of the production costs of a watch taken as a whole must be Swiss-based
• The movement must contain at least 50% Swiss-made components in value (not in quantity)
• At least 60% of the movement's production must be generated in Switzerland

Fjordson Watches is compliant with these conditions. All watches are made, assembled and inspected in Switzerland. Therefore, all our watch dials and back casings have the "Swiss made" label embossed. 

Some watch brands carry a "Swiss movement" or "Swiss movt" label. Bear in mind that this is not the same as the strictly regulated "Swiss made" label. These labels indicate that only (part of) the movement is made in Switzerland and not the entire watch.

More information can be found on the website of the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry here.
