February 5th, 2009 Posted in International, Suppliers, Watches
Swiss watch exports turned in another banner year in 2008, despite ending on a downcast note that is carrying over into this year, of course. “Watch exports increased 6.7 percent in value (export price) to 17 billion Swiss francs (almost $14.6 billion), the fifth year they’ve topped prior year results. In terms of units, however, total exports barely finished ahead of 2007, increasing just 0.8 percent to 26.2 million watches (a gain of only 210,000 units).” JCK Online Feb. 5, 2009
