Had they NOT moved to Switzerland early years of the company history?

-Yes or No
-Why or why not?

yes.

if anything, it would have put the UK on the map as a horological capital beyond GMT. but, neutrality has its perks during wartime.

I asked this question inside another thread a few weeks ago...can't remember where exactly. Yes, I think they would still be in business if they had stayed headquartered in London, but their parts were mostly made in Switzerland even before the move, anyway.
