It is not as if there are not enough technical resources and know-how in the US Yes the "Made in USA" issue is another very steep obstacle to get over, but if enough Americans are prepared to pay a premium to buy a Quality US Designed & Made product then they can succeed. The more you pay for a good mechanical the more you have to pay to keep it running well. Simple reason, the more you seem to pay for a good quartz, the less you have to do with it like change batteries etc. I like my mechanical watches, but believe it or not I would pay more for a quality quartz than I would for a mechanical. For the first time in history, the inside of a Swiss mechanical timepiece. For a three hand watch or in a Diver case that type of watch does it for me as a grab & go. This mission completed by Armin Strom manufacture and Wealth Solutions is very unique. I would be very happy and tempted if they start building something like the Bulova Precisionist movement.

One friend showed me his wife's dress watch, quite expensive I would think due to the jewels on the outside, inside was a very simple but OK Seiko 2 hander movement. However, once I show them how it is done to put a good quality Silver Oxide battery in the watch, they are grateful and shocked that you can do it with a few simple tools. A quality Jeweller around here will charge anything from £5 to over £20 depending on the watch and if it needs to be water resistance tested.

Despite what we think in this very rarefied atmosphere here on this Forum, to the majority buyers Quartz watches are the may to go if you are going to wear a watch. It is going to be one hell of a hill to climb, but they are starting in a country/market where the funds are to support a quality product. Yes there are a lot of quartz movements that as I have said before here, you would be lucky if the movement did not fail before the cheap battery ran out! If these guys are trying to go all out and make a quality movement, then more power to their elbow. I don't blame them going for quartz movements to start with.
