Swatch, Supplier to Rivals, Now Aims to Cut Them Off
In a nutshell: Swatch owned movement company ETA will reduce the amount of movements being supplied to Swiss watch companies starting Jan 2st. As a result, 9 companies including Tag Heuer, Frederick Constant, Edox and others are filing a class-action lawsuit against Swatch.
A good interesting read. For all the enthusiasts in the thread, what are you thoughts on this? Good? Bad? Impartial?
I think it's good since, IMO, there are too many watch companies out there getting away with charging thousands for their name and using generic, unmodified ETA movements.
