"We are obviously very disappointed that the clock has suffered this technical issue," said a spokesman for the Swiss-based Swatch Group.

So what

Don't tell me you think its a conspiracy or something.

It doesn't matter, it's in England, it's British. HMPH!

Do you think the Swiss based group might employ JUST Swiss engineers!?!? :eek:

No as in it has nothing to do with British engineering.

Highly embarassing for Swatch and terrible PR.

lol now thats embarrasing lol

Fireskull · 15 Mar 2011 at 16:33

Its in England but the Swiss 'Experts' built it.. Swiss /fail

You don't blame England because your German car failed do you?

Still pretty embarrassing though

It's not british engineering. Fail suisse.

WHO THE HELL DO THE SWISS THINK THEY ARE. COMING OVER HERE. BUILDING OUR CLOCKS.

Cue a massive argument about whether it's British or Swiss engineering that's to blame.

Those Neutral Swine! It's that kind of neutrality that leads to half finished clocks!

Don’t tell me the games will now be late.

I for one welcome our Swiss clocking making overlords.

Col_M · 15 Mar 2011 at 16:43

Omega should stick to nice mechanical watches not tacky 1970s style LED clocks, that's where they went wrong

Genuinely interested to know, how many of the companies making that stuff are owned by foreign investors and companies?
