The make all the parts for the movement and case in their own shop. I suspect they don't make the crystal or strap, but it is considered a true "manufacture" rather than a firm which buys movements such as ETA's.

Note the swan neck regulator next to the balance wheel. This is very cool, not many watches have adjusters like this.

So far so good. I will see how accurate it is tomorrow and how consistent it is over the next week. It is more important that it is consistent. If it is off 10 seconds a day, every day (which is unlikely) it can be regulated to be virtually exact. If it is off 1 second one day, three the next, one the next, four the next, then it is perhaps more accurate but erotic and thus much tougher to regulate and it will always swing like that, unless it is defective. This is usually the problem with cheap conventional non quartz movements. This one does not fall into that category. MSRP is $4.5K.
