General Watch Co. (GWC) was the watch companies Holding of ASUAG.〔()〕〔()〕 ==History== ASUAG had been founded in 1931, with the assistance of the Swiss government and the Swiss banks, to combat the severe economic crisis and ensuing unemployment by means of refinancing (thus eliminate the deadly "dumping for survival" murderous competition within the still somewhat "cottage industry"-like status of a majority of the movements and parts thereof supplying companies) and complementary research and development programs in their respective companies. Its mandate was to maintain, improve and develop the Swiss watch industry. 〔http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/The-Swatch-Group-SA-Company-History.html〕 ASUAG also expanded gradually through the purchase of * further Ebauches manufactures (movement blanks) * movement parts manufactures (e.g. balance wheels, assortments, rubies) and * a number of assemblers and manufacturers of complete watches, that were subsequently brought together under the subsidiary “GWC General Watch Co. Ltd.” 〔http://books.google.com/books?id=cVUSauNST8EC&pg=PA200&lpg=PA200&dq=%22general+watch+company%22&source=bl&ots=ItuCKIHLhL&sig=Bg_VAc_8WTRQnK6BNCv7YTjJQVw&hl=en&ei=c7tfSoDcIZS8mwPgvozWAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10ny%22&source=bl&ots=ItuCKIHLhL&sig=Bg_VAc_8WTRQnK6BNCv7YTjJQVw&hl=en&ei=c7tfSoDcIZS8mwPgvozWAg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=10() "Manufacturing time", by Amy Glasmeier]: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「General Watch Co」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
