I saw this Theorema Paragon watch on the web site, and it is very nice, but surf some web sites, some claim that it made from China and use Germany name. Anyone have bought this watch? and mind to share your finding??? Thanks..

Never heard of this at all.

There are a number of German-owned brand, but the watch has been ordered straight out of a Chinese OEM company's catalogue, so be sure what u are buying. Unless u don't mind cause I saw these asking for GBP 140 off the bay..

Have a bad experience to share on Theorema watch. Got it for less than a month and it spoil. Send it to Germany with the given shipping address for warranty repair and the company owner claim that he did not receive. Provided the tracking number and it show that it was delivered on 22 May and the owner deny receiving the item. The shipping address and the address shown from their official site is different. You judge it yourself if is it worth buying or risking yourself to send the watch for warranty repair.

Sounds like a Chinese make through and through with a small time german fraudster running the show gauging
from what the above mentioned poster said, with his experience on warranty claim

Seems like groupon has a promo for it with a 73% discount. I wonder why. Hahaha! :Laughing_on_floor:

The "Made in Germany" label has a lot looser rules to qualify. Basically a lot of the cheaper "German" brands are just assembled in Germany from components all over the world. The better ones have branded mechanisms like ETA, Miyota, Soprod, Sellita, etc. The cheaper ones that fill up shelf space in gift shops are just quickly assembled in Germany (if at all, maybe the EU) with cheap Turkish/migrant labor using generic Chinese mechanisms.
This one doesn't sound good.
