Is the 10AE the only US movement? Why are some 10AN marked swiss and some not? ---

I noticed all 10AE movements are marked USA ... what's the story behind that?

 

Also, why are some movements (10AN) marked SWISS and some not?  Are they all Swiss?  

Thanks!  ---Swiss

10AEs mark Bulova marks the start of Bulova making movments in the US at around 1934/35. They were able to use tooling to also produce the 10AN movement which is vert similar to tehe 10AE, but predates them. The 10AN was the work horse in the mid/late 1920s, whilst the 10AE become the work horse in the mid/late 1930s.
