Thunder out of China: Chinese movements no longer just on the horizon

To be honest, Fossil put Chinese movements on the map and on the right track. Fossil’s initial order of 800,000 Sea-Gull mechanical movements (total purchase to date is estimated at over 1.2 million and counting) sent a message to the watch world that Chinese movement manufacturers were and would become a force with which to be reckoned.
Currently, the Chinese market is growing, even in the face of a worldwide recession. Estimates are that there is a 300 million person middle class and they are soon becoming, if they are not already, interested in the finer things in life, and for men that means watches.
The biggest Chinese watch and movement manufactures, Shanghai and Sea-Gull, are at a crossroads. Both founded in 1955, their primarily mission has been to manufacture affordable timepieces for the laobaixing, the masses. Now, however, both companies are improving quality and slowly leaving that market, heading to more expensive, more complicated timepieces. It’s a huge shift for these companies, but it’s also not something that can happen overnight.

a darn funny review here.
