NEW REPLY FROM SWISS FED ON SENT PICS!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for your message. The marking “Swiss” on this watch constitutes, from my point of view, a clear violation of Swiss and US law. We will discuss this issue with our lawyers in the US and the Swiss authorities.
We are very grateful for the attention that you pay to the Swiss watch industry.
Kind regards

Dear sir, thank you very much for your response, I've included pics of a Lupah dragon labeled "swiss" on the dial with a chinese made Ronda inside...obviously mis labeled.
Does Invicta, infact, have their "swiss made" labeled watches cased, inspected in your country? And cant you thru your government order a cease and disist order against them to no longer label swiss made, as I believe thru others, that they dont even have a "swiss' factory? There are thousands if not millions in the USA that own this "sham" watch......and I would like to protect my country from these fraudulent practises. thanks for you time. Paul

Dear Sir,
We thank you for your message regarding INVICTA and for your interest in the Swiss watch industry.
For several reasons, we know this brand very well. Our federation protects the Swiss geographical indications all over the world. Unfortunately, some countries and companies have rather to be considered as careless regarding the enforcement of intellectual property rights and especially the use of geographical indications.
We would appreciate if you could send us some more information (pictures etc.) about the models or the advertisements which attest, in this specific case and in your opinion, the abuse of the geographical indication “Swiss”. This would make it easier to intervene….
Best regards

After all the lieing being done by Invicta, are you filing any legal action for them to cease with thier false labeling of thier watches? Or contacted the US customs to complain? The Real Swiss watch industry is being harmed by this company. thanks for your attention, Paul
