Jeg har ingen mening om deres økonomiske formåen, men gør spagfærdigt opmærksom på, at PP er igang med et udbygge sine faciliteter i Plan-les-Ouates i udkanten af Geneve for beskedne 450 millioner CHF - svarende til ca. 3,3 milliarder kroner.

Just a guess,but i would imagine PP took a loan,would you not? As for the development and cost of building a new caliber it is very very high.That is why even many top brands work together to develop and build the basic base calibers.In the case of the springdrive,that is also a very complicated caliber.The costs would be astronomical.You can Google all the facts about building and developing new calibers.This is the reason there are not many real in house caliber makers in the watch world.Making a limited amount of one off complicated calibers is also very expensive,but a drop in the ocean compaired to a production caliber.
