Best Answer

Both "Swiss movement" and "Swiss made" refer to clocks and watches. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, the Swiss were renowned for the quality of the clocks they made.

A Swiss made clock was one that was made in Switzerland and therefore was likely to be if high quality because of the Swiss reputation in that area.

A movement is the inner portion of a clock or watch, the part that tracks time by its very regular movement.

A Swiss movement is a movement made in Switzerland and therefore likely to be of high quality because of the Swiss reputation in that area. The movement, however, might be sent to Another Country to be assembled into a clock or wristwatch. That is where the casing, clock face, hands, and other elements would be added. This work might be done in England, Italy, Morocco, China or the US and therefore that part of the clock might not have Swiss quality.

What is the difference between real and fake Swiss Army watches?

There are a lot of fakes out on the market. One of the first things to look for is the back. If you see the big notches (not the little ones all the way around like a Rolex) and you also see a little tab where you would put a knife to pop off the back it is a fake. Second look at the dial at 6 o'clock, you will see Swiss Made or T-Swiss. The backs on a Swiss Army is well made not very light and tinny. Movements are a give away as well.
