all watches tick, its a common myth that expensive watches smoothly sweep the second hand. However, some of the more expensive movements tick faster than others fooling the eye into thinking it is "sweeping", most tick at between 7-15 times per second. The fastest movements that I am aware of are the vintage Bulova accutron introduced in the 1960's. It used an electronic tuning fork to keep time (this was before the invention of the quartz watch) and was accurate to about 2 seconds a day. using a tiny gear the size of a pin head with 360 teeth cut into it. it moved the second hand 360 times a second, giving it the closest thing to a sweep second hand that exists as far as I know.

Where are Daniel Steiger watches manufactured?
They are made in factories. Mostly in China, and having purchased these watches I can tell you there is a good chance the time precision will match the reputation of China made goods (e.g. the minute hand will not sweep past the 12, or the second hand skips ... badly. If it has the name Steiger on it, you can bet your last dollar it is good!
