The history of China made Swiss watches before the Swiss dates back to the late 1800s when the Chinese government began to invest in the development of the country's watchmaking industry. This led to the production of Chinese-made watches that were heavily influenced by Swiss watchmaking techniques and designs.
During this time, Chinese watches were considered to be of lower quality compared to Swiss watches. The Chinese watchmakers were still learning and mastering the techniques and precision required for making high-quality timepieces.
The Chinese government's investment in the industry, the country's large population as potential consumers, and the availability of skilled labor at a lower cost were some of the factors that contributed to the rise of the Chinese watchmaking industry before the Swiss.
No, Chinese watches were not as popular outside of China during this time. The Swiss watch industry had already established itself as the leader in luxury timepieces, and Chinese watches were still seen as inferior in terms of quality and prestige.
The emergence of the Swiss watch industry had a significant impact on China's watchmaking industry. It led to a decline in the production and popularity of Chinese watches as consumers began to prefer Swiss-made timepieces. However, Chinese watchmakers continued to develop their skills and techniques, leading to the rise of the modern Chinese watch industry we see today.
