I also suspect that not a few High End watches, if you really went into it do have clones inserted at servcie with some of the more identifiable parts such as Rotors and bridges simply swopped out. Some CHINESE clones are now so good, including some clones of famous brands that I suspect that I suspect only an expert could tell the difference. This has created an opening for other companies to clone the design and continue the supply of this incredible movement to the rest of the industry since the design is so old now that it is no longer protected by any sort of patent. The only problem with this now is supply, and that's where companies like Sellita and HKPT come in.įor the past decade or so ETA has been slowing down the production of their movements with the goal to eventually stop supplying outside of Swatch group (Who they are owned by). And in the occasion that it needs attention, it can be looked at by pretty much any watchmaker. It's simply a movement that will keep on ticking for years and years without any fault. It's well designed, robust, easy to source spares for and provides incredible value for the price. The movement is known as a workhorse in the industry.because it is exactly that. In case you are not familiar, the ETA 2824 is the benchmark of an entry-level swiss-made movement, this design is what you will see used in many brands throughout the years such as Tudor, Hamilton, Sinn, Stowa and more. Just like Sellita has been doing with the Sellita SW200 for years, HK Precision Technology has created its movement based on an already proven formula.
