Companies have the right to protect their brand, copyright or any other intellectual property, for instance Wing took Sony to court over his company trademark name Android.

Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property"Swissness" – clear rules for the "Swiss Made" brand
The new "Swissness" legislation strengthens the "Swiss Made" designation and the Swiss cross. It provides clear rules for use of the Swiss indication of source when used for marketing purposes, which in turn contributes to preventing any wrongful use of the "Swiss Made" brand. This ensures the long-term value of the label.

Any competent watchmaker should be able to repair ETA mechanical movements if they are no longer under warranty. ETA isn't the only choice in order to have SWISS MADE on the dial. A company can easily use a Selitta Swiss made movement and abide by the regulations which came into force on 1 January 2017.

Founded in 1950
Sellita is an independent swiss company specialized in assembling “Swiss Made” mechanical automatic watch movements.
Being aware of the technology changes in a competitive market, Sellita decided in 2003 to develop and produce their own mechanical movements.
Strict standards of productivity
Sellita is a successful leader in the watch industry with a considerable volume of production. Our company combines the watchmakers’ craftsmanship with rigid quality standards. This has been the key idea of our work and it is the reason for our dynamic development.
Over the years, this philosophy has enabled Sellita to provide mechanical movements to the mid-range as well as top-of-the-end markets and watch brands.
Our newly developed products and activities provide us a higher flexibility.
