Helson Watches

Henrik A Skrev:

willy Skrev:Helson are what is called a boutique brand , like Deep Blue and hundreds of other brands . All you do is design a watch and huge factorys in China make it for you . They even do the quality control .

They put a basic ETA or Miyoto caliber costing a few dollars in it and Wupti you have a quite well made watch that has cost you next to nothing to make .

Then they get the sales bullshit machine started up , and when they have finished some people do believe they are a serious watch brand . I am not one of them .

Okay , if the watch was made in europe it would cost more , and maybe the quality would be the same . But basicaly they are just quite well made copy watches , with a few design elements added now and again .

Try to go to a serious dealer who knows his watches and he will never even give you a price for it . He will just tell you to sell it yourself . Unless of course he sells this type of watch , then he might give you a price if you buy another model from him .

There are many brands who are serious , and develop their own watches out there . And they do not cost much more than these China copys . My advice to anyone new to watches would be to buy from a real brand . Willy

Vi må erkende at denne verden er blevet mindre, og at mange at de produkter vi har i vores hjem er made in China..

Min holdning er at man også kan lave gode ure (produkter) i Kina..

Jeg er ked af at sige det Villy, men jeg mener simpelthen at din holdning på dette område er gammeldags..

At et Eta værk er billig i Kina gør det jo ikke til en ringere værk?

If you read again Henrik , i said the quality is ok for the money . I have nothing against the quality of anything made in China , and i agree with you it is a old fashioned idea to do so .

There is nothing wrong with a ETA caliber . They are the worlds biggest caliber maker , and have made some of the greatest calibers ever .
But the fact is that a basic ETA caliber costs next to nothing to make and is an off the shelf product that is sitting in millions of watches .

Real brands improve and refine ETA calibers to higher standards before putting them in their watches . Brands who are just after a quick buck do not .

Basic ETA calibers may be cheaper in China , i do not know . But they do not cost many dollars in the Swiss Alps .

And it is worth remembering that many real brands offer much more for the same money . So i do not think they are in anyway a great bargain . Willy

På billeder ser kvaliteten da fino ud.
For ca. 4000 DKK får man vandtæthed i rigelige mængder, ETA & safir ..........det kan
næsten ikke gå galt.
At diskutere gensalgsværdi – eller gensalg i det hele taget – på ure i dén prisklasse er
vel nærmest ligegyldigt. Hvis man får et tab bør det være til at overskue!

Det er måske langt værre med stumper til urene om 8-10 år, når Helson er gået på røven.

Så køber vel jo bare et basis ETA til 4 kr i kina
