Swiss watch
Precision from Geneva
A Swiss watch is a timepiece manufactured in Switzerland, a country renowned for precision watchmaking since the 16th century.
The phrase often appears as a simile for reliability and exactness: The operation ran like a Swiss watch.
Swiss watches range from affordable to extravagantly expensive luxury items, with brands like Rolex and Patek Philippe commanding premium prices.
