Great job so quickly! Got some great peices there!

Yes, they make parts for computers. Thus a computer company. A company that supplies parts for computers. Just like watch cases are made by watch companies; movement companies ETA, Sellita… Are they not a watch company? They supply parts to the watch industry. It’s all just a matter of semantics. Which means everything is dependent on your definitions set up front. But everyone can argue it every which way.

commented on If a company doesn't produce their own movements - it's not a watch company. ·

Humbly disagree… a watch is the whole package, not just the movement. That’s like saying a computer company is not a computer company if they don’t make their own processor which most of them don’t (they use Intel or AMD or whoever). Or house builder that doesn’t make their own heating/plumbing/electrical. You have a general contractor that leads the project, where they get the parts that sum to the whole is irrelevant to what they are called. It’s all a house, computer, watch. Doesn’t mean you have to buy it though 😂
