Hi Henry    I can't see a problem there,  look at car manufacture. all the component parts are sourced  from makers and assembled in the factory and brand named. That is no different to what you advocate. In the end that's all you are doing.  How many watches out there are assembled the same way, Eubauches manufactured movements that are in so many watches under many brand names.

The most so called designer watches are utilizing this concept, sometimes there might be a pattern protection or a patent issue that has to be addressed before one slaps on a logo on things, I guess the larger manufacturers has a licensing agreement inplace, but as no logo products there is probably no problems.

When you source parts from online for example case movement and hands. can you claim it as being yours? Can you sell the piece on and claim it as your own brand? I’m new to this and don’t know please can you help?

Claim against whom? For your watch to be known and copied you would have to sell in the thousands. I whish you can get there first, then worry about imitations later.

Chinees manufacturers produce any of designs they are set up for, without you having to worry about brand ownership. You can name or desgn dials for your order at will.

So far as brand name,  you can register your brand or purchase any of the old abandoned brands cheap, though some have resurrected with advanced luxury mechanical pieces.  

Abandoned brands are just a title, no equipment, no know- how. Much depends on the target market, terretory, finances,advertisment, .....etc.

Lawyers bussy at international court of arbitration give consulation on legal matters starting with incoterms, all the way forward, back to the start.

I had to try this out and got to say it's not to bad. Tried with just a quartz the first run maybe an automatic next time..

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
