Where is your watch made? How many countries can we get represented?
Switzerland, Japan, China, Britain, Germany, the USA and a handful of others are well known for making watches and movements. What watches do you own that are made somewhere interesting or unexpected?
How many counties can we get represented?

Vostok from Russia and Wolbrook from France. Other than that, I think everything I have was made in one of the obvious countries.
My Casio G-Shock GW-M5610U that I am currently wearing is made in Thailand.
I'm pretty sure some of my other Casios are also made in Thailand.
My Wolbrook WT Skindiver is French made (well assembled).
At the moment, 5 Swiss, 1 American w/ Japan movement, 1 German with German movement, 1 Japanese w/ Japan movement, 1 Italian w Swiss movement. I have owned 1 French w Chinese movment, several Japanese w Japan movement, 1 UK w Swiss movement, 1 Russian w Russian movement, 1 Chinese w Chinese movement, 2 American w American movement, 1 German w Swiss movement and a bunch more Swiss.

Which ones from Singapore and Portugal?
The Singapore one is my Vilhelm Prism
The one from Portugal is my Borealis Sintra
I'm surprised Greg @Aurelian hasn't jumped in yet with Pook Watches from Finland...my guess is that these were likely manufactured in China and not much actually happened in Finland...
Same with Nezumi in Sweden...
Or REC in Denmark...
Australian watches have about 15 different brands in Menu/Topics here in WC 😉
There is also About Vintage from Denmark. They use a variety of movements, both Japanese and Swiss Made.
Swiss , Japanese, German & Thai ! Does the Smiths count as Japanese or English?
