Ask HN: Old British watch manufacturer now owned by Chinese company
2 by anta40 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Asking fellow horologist here. A few days ago, I read about a British watch manufacturer (defuncted in 1920/1930s?) that is now owned by Chinese company, producing fashion brand watches. I couldn't find the name at this: https://ift.tt/39MGWAl Unfortunately, I cleared my browser history yesterday, so couldn't find it. Maybe someone can help?
