Re: Dievas - confused



we only produce original designs and invest heavily in technology.

I have no doubt a watch I will keep forever
I got the early release, SN 65 so it is a Kobald case left over in my opinion.
Alain, I believe the Vortex is built by Fricker in Germany and then shipped to Hong Kong to the company. When I purchased the original watch, I recall seeing a photo of the completed watches when they were delivered.koimaster wrote:http://www.wristwatchreview.com/2008/06/19/dievas-watches-diverse-divers-watches/
They are in fact Asian made and an Asian company.

Just an FYI... Flicker does make some "economy" cases which are made in China. At the end of the day, though, who gives a shit? China is the #1 producer of machine tools, so chances are your Swiss, German, American, etc watch had its case made using a Chinese machine tool. In this day of CAD, a designer in Arkansas (as if) can send a design to Hong Kong electronically in a second. It all comes down to QC. Either I trust the watch while diving or I don't. Swiss, German, etc made on the dial isn't worth the cost of the ink.

Correct on every count.

I own many, many products that were made in China and have had rigorous QC. Apple and virtually everbody's LCD/Plasma/LED panels for starters.
As for high-end watches, not for a while.
If ever.
