Tonight it's that wonderfully sounding watch brand, Christophe Duchamp, thought i would just post this before the two shysters give their tuppence-worth tonight.
"Born of decades of experience, in Mendrisio, the centre of Swiss horology’s heritage and tradition."
In reality born in Woking, Surrey, 2020.
Lovely pic on their site, which i'm sure is implying this is their premises, in Mendrisio which is in the South on the Swiss/Italian border, lovely sign on top.

Of course reality is a little different, here's how the building actual looked like in 2020 when Christophe Duchamp started up, before photo shopping the sign took place, and it's in Möhlin, in the North (not the South) on the Swiss/German border. It where ILG (International Luxury Group) brand's Roamer and Swiss Military by Hanowa are located, it's also where they assemble watches for third party brands (which i'm assuming ILG do for the Swiss made Christophe Duchamp's watches, the others, including those labbelled Swiss movement, will be assemble in the Far East by ILG).

Tonight's show will no doubt highlight the savings being made by IW customers from the RRPs.

Wow what a watch, high end horology at a massive saving, a must have you must insure.
I noticed on their site this little beauty.

This multifunctional watch combines noble design with reliable functions in Swiss Made quality. Despite an impressive 44 mm diameter, the ROCKSHELL MARK III CHRONO emanates a sporty-elegant look. A pinstripe pattern guilloche causes the almost 3-dimensional look of the clearly arranged dial with...
