Ακριβώς. Και να συμπληρώσω: "και να έχουν καλό ποιοτικό έλεγχο". Τότε το προϊόν παύει να είναι "κινέζικο", αλλά γίνεται εφάμιλλο των ευρωπαϊκών.Georges έγραψε:Οι κινέζοι κατασκευάζουν κάτι με ότι προδιαγραφές τους δώσεις. Μπορεί να σου φαίνεται περίεργο αλλά έτσι είναι. Είχα την τύχη να πάω ένα επαγγελματικό ταξίδι πριν κάποια χρόνια και είδα-έμαθα αρκετά πράγματα.stavros_ch έγραψε:Tα Helson ειναι ποιοτικα αλλα με ξενιζει που κατασκευαζονται στην Κινα..
Ίσως το made in China να μην έχει την αίγλη του Swiss made ή του Japan made, αλλά να είσαι σίγουρος ότι αν οι προδιαγραφές της κατασκευής είναι υψηλές, θα πάρεις κάτι ποιοτικό και value for money.

Ένα πολύ ωραίο άρθρο........... Αξίζει να το διαβάσετε όλο..... Εγώ θα βάλω κάποια κομμάτια................. 
The birth of the modern dive watch, A conversation with Cpt. Robert Maloubier
Captain Robert Maloubier’s life story reads like an action thriller that makes James Bond look like a milquetoast, and his exploits launched a chain of events that would result in the creation of the mechanical diver’s watch as we know it today. This is his story.
‘OK, we have to devise a watch that can properly be used by us.’ So, one of us took a compass and a ruler and a pen and a piece of paper and we said ‘OK, what do we want?’”
The list they drew up and the drawings they made formed the basis for mechanical diver’s watches as we know them today. The list included:
The watch should be large with a waterproof case.
A self-winding movement – “It should be automatic, otherwise when you wind the watch, even if you have a gasket, the watch leaks after a while.”
Large, clear, luminous numerals, marks, and hands for easy reading underwater at night.
A unidirectional rotating bezel displaying minute markers to let divers calculate the diving time.
Within a few hours over the course of an afternoon, the modern mechanical diver’s watch was born, at least on paper. It was not simply a waterproof watch, but one designed by combat divers for combat divers.
The next step was taking the watch from paper to production. “We looked all over the world for someone to manufacture this watch… There was no French watchmaker that would agree to do so…. We found Blancpain, a small Swiss watchmaker… Blancpain agreed to manufacture the watch. That’s how it all happened.”
For Maloubier, the next step was field testing. “The first prototype was sent to us. It was called the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. They sent it, we tested it, and it was good. It was proper looking. This is what we wanted. … We tested it and it was OK. The first trial was very good. No problems. It never leaked. It was proper. We could read it at night, and so on. It was as we had drawn it.”
The rest, as they say, is history. In the following years, several armed forces and elite units adopted the Fifty Fathoms as their official watch, including the German Bundesmarine, U.S. Navy Seals, and the Spanish and Israeli navies.
Not surprisingly, Maloubier and Cousteau were friends. The two first met in 1953, when Maloubier joined Cousteau for lunch about the Calypso. They would meet several more times over the years.

Μικρή ήταν, άγνωστη και άσημη. Πριν το Φίφτυ Φέδομς δεν ήταν γνωστή για τίποτα σημαντικό. Όπως επίσης κι αργότερα. Μόνο μετά το 1983 μεταμορφώθηκε στα χέρια του Μπιβέρ. Και μέσω αυτής όλη η Ελβετική ωρολογοποιεία.

H Μπλανπέν ήταν το όχημα. Αυτή τράβηξε τους υπολοίπους. Κινητήρας όμως ο Μπιβέρ. Έφτιαξε εκείνα τα απίστευτα κομπλικασιόν με το σωστό όμως περιτίλυγμα.
Ποτέ δε φτιάξαμε ρολόι με κουόρτζ κι ούτε πρόκειται.
Αυτή η πανέξυπνη φράση ήταν η σπίθα για την αναγέννηση του μηχανικού φοίνικα μέσα από τις κουόρτζ στάχτες του.
