I did find some small pictures on their website that seem to lend credence to their claim, including a storefront sign, C.Clerc and some pictures of watches that look like they were from the 1970's.
HI all and good day! what are the general opinions about CLERC watches??? is the c609 a real manufacture movement or "exclusively made" by an outside firm?
And according to their dreadful (navigation and tiny images) website, they use a modified ETA 2892 caliber. So, no it is not a manufacture caliber. IMO another marketed Swiss brand claiming a long history, founded in 1874 blah, blah, blah.... Sorry if I'm...
Magnus, I appreciate you coming to Gerald Clerc's defense and I appreciate the data that it is a family member running the business. The fact that Gerald Clerc is a great guy, has I'm afraid nothing to do with how I see this category of "Watch brand" I'm ...
