High-quality workmanship, attractive design and fast delivery times are typical characteristics of jewellery and watches Made in Germany. In order to maintain this tradition and to counter the erroneous use of the term abroad, selected producers from Germany have committed themselves to a uniform quality standard that includes organizational criteria as well as criteria for value creation and the quality of the components.
More and more companies are joining the initiative of the German Association of Jewellery, Watches, Silverware and Supplying Industry (BVSU) and using the logo under license to address end customers as well as to convince global business customers of the outstanding quality of German workmanship. The success story of our Made In Germany initiative proves that a common denominator, namely a commitment to better visibility of actual quality and origin, leads to greater transparency and customer satisfaction.
The requirements criteria are strict. In addition to design and product development, final assembly and quality assurance must take place in Germany. The manufacturing part, which is decisive for the essence and the ultimate value of the product, must be done in Germany. An important aspect here is the measurable manufacturing share in Germany. Among other things, this also ensures in the long term that traditional craft techniques and culture are maintained and passed on to the next generation.
Due to the consistent development of legislation since the beginning of industrialisation, products made in Germany meet the highest safety standards and manufacturing quality.
The initiative is backed by German jewellery and watch manufacturers whose aim is to actively ensure quality and to support consumers in their choice of Made in Germany products.
Registered companies and brands in the industry use our seal for a joint appearance at home and abroad.
The designation of origin "Made in Germany", which was actually intended as a negative branding, quickly advanced to become a seal of quality, as the German products offered a very good price-performance ratio with meanwhile significantly improved quality.
In our Made in Germany showroom, you can also physically experience the diversity of the world of German watches and jewellery. In the Schmuckwelten Pforzheim!
Many participants in our initiative present their Made in Germany products at trade fairs worldwide.
Made in Germany as a globally known designation of origin and seal of quality stands for services and products produced in Germany. It represents innovation, precision and trust through quality and safety as purchasing arguments for the global consumer. Due to the consistent development of legislation since the beginning of industrialisation products Made in Germany meet the highest safety standards and quality in manufacturing.
