An interesting article in regards to Swiss made watches was in the newspaper today.
http://www.smh.com.au/news/home/technology/watchmaker-uses-spare-parts-from-space/2008/11/13/1226318816340.html
Parts of the watch come from Authentic bits of the spacecraft, spacesuits and even moon-rock dust from the Apollo missions. I guess the price tags of the watches make up for how much it would have cost them to obtain the bits from NASA.... They expect to sell $90 million AUD worth.... Ouch.
But, the interesting part of the article is right at the end.

LOLBut the collection has one major omission - watches for women.
"I don't know how to make watches for ladies. I love ladies. But I don't understand them," Arpa said.
