The movement was made in Switzerland, the case was made in the United States to avoid high customs duties, and assembly and finishing were done in the United States.

A vintage watch with an alarm? You may think that, but the mechanism is really simple.
There is a metal rod on the back cover, and when the set time comes, a hammer equipped in the movement hits the rod to indicate the time.

The upper crown is in charge of setting the alarm time and winding it up for the alarm to ring, while the lower crown is in charge of setting the time and winding it up so that the hour hand moves.
