CWC quartz pricing: A challenge.

[Brauner Hund]

The Monnin case has a genuine bearing on cost because (as I stated in the first post), CWC had to pay precisely nothing to develop their watch.
Monnin designed the case, and the MoD designed the dial and hands.

So, I think you're contending that that reduces production costs over 4 decades later? If so, understood, but not sure I agree.

As regards pricing of Swiss vs Chinese and HK alternatives, I think the pricing delta is historically well established - which leaves me confused why you're singling out CWC? Do you feel the same about all Swiss made watches? Entirely valid if you do, but if you're just singling out CWC, why?
