I actually have never heard of Union using ETA movements.... All I know is that GO and UG share the same factory and using the same movements.

This is what GO's response and I hope it helps:



Glashütte is the name of a small city in Saxony, situated not far from
the Czech border, about 30 kilometres from the city of Dresden.

The watch-making history of our company "Glashütter Uhrenbetrieb GmbH" dates back to the year 1845 and is continued up to this very day -
without interruption. The small city of Glashütte knows many watch-making companies, six in total. Two of them are the companies "Glashütter Uhrenbetrieb GmbH" and their brand "Glashütte Original" as well as the "Union Uhrenfabrik GmbH" and their brand "Union".

The "Union Uhrenfabrik GmbH" is the daughter company of the "Glashütter
Uhrenbetrieb GmbH". The "Union" watches are manufactured on the same machine park as the "Glashütte Original" watches. Both brands manufacture their own watch-movements.

Glashütte Original is one of the only watchmaking companies world-wide
whose movements are crafted exclusively in the manufactory. From the
construction through the production of the tiny and complex individual parts to the precision assembly of the movements, each step is carried out in the Glashütte Original manufactory. The above mentioned two companies belong to the Swatch Group since the year 2000.



Also, if you want to order Union, it's going to be quite difficult. They said (for US customers), you'll have to send in an official written request, and wait for a pro forma invoice. Then, you'll have to wire the money to a bank account (no credit card); and once that's cleared, you'll have to wait for it being made and then shipped to you via UPS Express. The prices are in Euro and you have to pay for shipping and insurance. I'm not sure how VAT is going to work. If someone knows a better way to get it, please share. ²´·úÂà°ÚÂà

It's interesting they make the purchasing process very difficult... 8O



VAT: Value Added Tax, it is 16% if you purchase watches "in" EU countries.


We do not need to pay VAT if we purchase from "outside" of EU.

As for VAT, do you know if I'll have to pay it and then claim it back later? Or don't need to pay it in the first place?

Also, does anyone know if there's going to be a charge for the US custom?

thx.

Hi Flyback,


I suppose you are in the US, since you ask information about the US custom.


Your seller should have deducted already the 16% VAT from the RRP (recommended retailer price) when he/she quote you the price, not 'claim it back later'. It is a charge of the EU side, not the US side. «D±`°ª¿³


I would advise you to confirm the detail with your seller again, since 16% is not a small amount... «D±`°ª¿³


Good luck. Åå³Y
