Sellita Movement Makers: A Little Bit of China In Switzerland
Most watches companies do not make their own movements. Quality watch makers buy their movements from mostly ETA, the Swatch Group owner mega movement maker.

I would be forever grateful. I've searched Google and have discovered that I can buy them from a great many places but finding a "How To F
