Manufacturing & Quality Control
Where Arvell watches are made, which parts come from where, and the seven-step final inspection every watch passes.
Swiss Made does not mean every single part comes from Switzerland - and we prefer saying precisely what happens where over vague "Swiss craftsmanship" claims.
Where the parts come from
| Component | Origin |
|---|---|
| Movements | Ronda (Lausen, CH) / Miyota (Japan, for the Mineral line) |
| Case & bracelet manufacturing | Partner manufactures in CH and Asia, to Arvell drawings |
| Dials & hands | Swiss and German suppliers |
| Sapphire crystals | Swiss supplier |
| Assembly, regulation, final inspection | Arvell atelier, Zürich |
All current references meet the Swiss Made requirements: Swiss movement, cased-up and inspected in Switzerland, ≥ 60 % of manufacturing cost in Switzerland.
Final inspection - every watch, seven steps
- Visual inspection of dial, hands, case and crystal
- Movement function check (timing / accuracy)
- Chronograph or complication function test (where applicable)
- Crown, pusher and bezel operation test
- Water-resistance pressure test to rated depth
- Bracelet, clasp and end-link fit check
- Serial number registration and final sign-off
Watches failing any step go back to the bench, not into a box.
