What it takes to be “made in America”
To be made in America, the United States Federal Trade Commission declares that, “A product that is ‘all or virtually all’ made in the United States will be one in which all significant parts and processing that go into the product are of U.S. origin and the product contains negligible foreign content.”
According to these guidelines, for a watch, it means that the entire timepiece including the movement must be manufactured in the United States and not simply assembled there. After all, the movement is the heart of watch, and the FTC is strict on this matter.
Here is a brief survey of watch brands with varying degrees of “made in America.”

“Your heart was warm and happy
With the lilt of Irish laughter
Every day and in every way
Now forever and ever after."
