here is an example /g/ would argue is in house

in house means the watch is designed assembled and produced inside a specific region dedicated to time pieces.

/g/ has a looser definition meaning that the parent company who owns the brand name also owns some sort of facility that produces movements in another section of the world usually in a third world or in korea due to cheap labor.

while he bad mouths tage heuer for being a nothing brand, little does he know if he mentions that a seiko 5 is "in house" then so is a heuer, so is a hublot, so is an oris so is a tissot....all these nothing watch brands are all the sudden desirable when you loosen the slang terms.

but thats only because he's an idiot.

there are a number of seikos out there (grand seiko, credor, seiko- proper) who market out side of the reach of the lower income to produce spectacular products that are sullied by the usage of the brand on low end garbage.


so if hermes kept making amazing scarves but also made Hermes scarves 5 and sold it exclusively at walmart and was made of polyester and sloppy silk-screen printing

people would assume the hermes label meant nothing
