Germasian (or Eurasian) watches which are branded and sold as "Made in Germany" or some other European country, despite being manufactured in whole or in part in Asia (China). Unlike "Swiss Made" watches, which are required by law to meet specific manufacturing requirements, "German," "French" and "Italian" watches are not bound by such strict rules. As a result, a huge variety of inexpensive "German Made" myth brand mechanical watches can be found for sale on the internet
Trias, Elysee, Aeromatic 1912, Tauchmeister1937, Glashaus Hamburg, Olivier Witteaux... started up their business knowing that there is a strong demand for products made in Germany all over the world. Most of them don´t even run a shop or are represented at reputable watch shops here in Germany, most of them are selling online only (500 Trias currently on eBay). Nothing wrong with that but it´s already a hint what the business is about.
Some Trias watches are sold at so called "auction houses" here in Germany for 49, 69, 109 Euro. There´s hardly a German component with it!
"Made in Germany" always stood for outstanding quality, state of the art components combined with eye catching appearance (quote from German-watches).
