On the subject of Swiss Made, from the pages of HauteHorlogerie.org Alain Silberstein (French watchmaker, pictured) rises up in favour of European watchmaking and its workers: 'I am outraged by this Geneva-centric vision of Swiss Made and watchmaking,' he says. 'Yes, these professionals are right to want to fight China's expansion in this sector, but it is high time that European know-how in the field and in particular the quality of the Old Continent subcontractors working for Swiss watchmaking were recognised. This would not exist without frontier workers. For my part, I support a European economic model and the employment linked to it."
