Swatch Watches - Swiss Glory

Swatch is a leading Swiss watch manufacturer formed by merging two already established Swiss watch brands, ASUAG and SSIH. Watches manufactured by Swatch have a reflection of the expertise for which the Swiss timekeeping industry have been recognized throughout the world. In each and every Swatch watch you will notice that the same expertise, precision and craftsmanship have been delivered. Since its formation as "Swatch Group Ltd" in 1982, the Swiss company is being tagged as the largest manufacturer of watches.

You will find the all their models are priced at moderate rates and are being manufactured by using cheap materials and that too in small manufacturing plants, thus tremendously reducing the manufacturing costs.

Most people around the world have got the perception that the brand Swatch means "Swiss Watch", this perception is totally untrue. However, according to its chairman Nicholas Hayek, Swatch is a combination of two separate words "Second" and "Watch". This name was suggested as a part of a marketing campaign that was launched during the formation of this company with a sole aim to re-establish Switzerland's name as one of the major partner in the worldwide market of wristwatches. For this purpose the company has chalked out a plan to introduce wristwatches that have all the features present in a casual model and at the same time also be fun and functional.

After launching their products on the market with their goals in mind, Swatch watches soon gained popularity and started selling like hot cakes. Within a short period of time these timepieces became so popular that they not only started capturing the market but also started challenging established Japanese manufacturers like Seiko and Casio. Due to their efforts, moderate rates, precision and craftsmanship, the Swatch Group were not only able to scale new heights but also regain the lost glory in timepiece manufacturing market for which the Swiss were recognized. The popularity and tremendous response that these watches gained can easily be gauged from the fact that within two years of introduction, some that 3.5 million watches were sold globally.
