Не осилил всю тему, может и было упоминание - однако, для меня - новое дополнение - Касательно "50% от стоимости" -
It is important to note that the above requirement specifies that least 50% of total value, not quantity, of movement components must be of Swiss manufacture. Given the low cost of Chinese labor, as compared to Swiss labor, a fair amount of Asian components are turning up in "Swiss" movements these days.
An interesting example of a "Swiss" movement with a substantial non-Swiss content is the Claro-Semag calibre CL 888. This movement is in fact the Chinese Sea-Gull calibre ST16, refinished by Claro-Semag of Switzerland with sufficient Swiss content (by value) that it may be legally installed in watches signed "Swiss Movement".
Going one step farther, Montres Edouard Lauzieres of Switzerland re-refinish the SEMAG CL 888 and redesignate it as calibre EL-18, claiming their in-house calibre uses a genuine Swiss movement blank. Edouard Lauzieres watches fitted with the CL 888 are marked "Swiss Made", despite the Chinese origins of their movements.
