That thing is hand-made by Kiu Tai Yu himself (which is why there are so few pieces made), and it is just as good as any of the watches made by the independent European watchmakers.

I was talking to a Swiss watch guy at Baselworld last year, about the Chinese watch industry and he said,"If they can make nuclear weapons then they can make watches".

Not to be contentious, but F.P.Journe is firmly ensconced in Geneva, Switzerland, where all of his watches are made. You'll see that on the very first page of his website.
