Switzerland, the cradle of watchmaking, organises its \u2018Watches and Wonders\u2019 Fine Watchmaking Fair in Geneva every April. The watch brands present unveil their new products, and it’s a chance for them to meet all their professional customers in the space of a few days. Unfortunately, the surprises were not confined to the show floor this year, as Donald Trump’s decision to raise export taxes on Swiss timepieces (+31%) has led the sector to fear a slowdown in a context that is already tense due to the difficulties in the Chinese market. <\/p>

With more than 65,000 jobs, the watch industry is the country’s 3rd<\/sup> largest export sector, behind the chemical and machinery industries. The cantons of Neuch\u00e2tel, Berne and Geneva account for more than half of these jobs. Watch exports slowed by 2.8% in 2024, with an export value of more than CHF 25 billion. Switzerland accounts for only a fraction of the wristwatches sold in the world, but the largest in terms of value. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Given the importance of the American market to Swiss watchmakers, it is easy to understand their concern at Donald Trump’s decisions. With 17% of the market, the United States is ahead of China and Hong Kong. Japan is one of the top three export markets for Swiss watches. The leading European country is Great Britain, followed by France. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The decline in export figures between 2024 and 2022 is mainly due to China, which is down by more than 20%. This contraction is partly attributable to economic uncertainty in the Middle Kingdom and its impact on consumer behaviour. The United States has posted growth of more than 10% over the last two years, which is remarkable for a market of this size. Finally, India, which has just signed a free trade agreement with Switzerland and is negotiating special conditions for the watch market, is opening up new prospects for the sector. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Despite its status as a luxury product, the way it is marketed is gradually changing over the generations. Younger generations (generation Z, for example) are turning away from physical shops, which are still widely present in major urban centres, to buy from the brands’ own websites. Brands must therefore adapt and become more present for these generations on such media. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Swiss watch market is outrageously dominated by the giant from Biel and Geneva: Rolex. With an annual export value of over \u20ac10 billion, Rolex accounts for 30% of the market. Rolex is ahead of the Richemont group, which includes the second-largest Swiss watchmaker (Cartier), followed by Swatch, with Omega as its leading brand. LVMH is only in 3rd<\/sup> place. The world leader in luxury can currently count on only 6 watch brands, none of which has sales in excess of CHF 1 billion, a club reserved for just 7 brands. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Financial markets traditionally represent a financial translation of a sector’s performance. Certain indices, for example, provide a visual indication of the watch industry’s stock market, and therefore financial, performance. This is the case of the BI Global Luxury Jewellery and Watches index, which includes Richemont (14%) and Swatch (7%). This index shows a very large fall in watchmaking stocks, in the same way as shares in the luxury sector as a whole (Herm\u00e8s, LVMH, etc.).. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nevertheless, indices more specific than stock market indices have been created for the watch industry: indices calculating the average price on the secondary market. The Rolex index is the most widely used. It groups together the brand’s 30 best models and tracks changes in transaction prices on the secondary market to determine changes in the value of the brand and its appeal to consumers. This is almost like a \u201cbrand awareness\u201d index. As Rolex is not listed on the stock market, this is the only indication available to measure changes in the share’s value. <\/p>

The Rolex Index is down 4.5% over the year, confirming the slowdown in the sector. Nevertheless, the value has remained relatively stable over time. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This makes it easy to compare brands and groups. The current slowdown is far from uniform. While Rolex and Cartier are holding up very well, other brands are struggling. These indicators point to a form of temporary \u2018disinterest\u2019 on the part of secondary market buyers. The more resilient a brand is in this area, the stronger it will be. Watches worth more than USD 1,000 are showing the smallest price reductions. The \u2018USD 2,000 to USD 5,000\u2019 range is even unchanged. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Swiss watchmaking industry therefore faces many challenges: customs tariff barriers, the massive rise in the price of gold, inflationary pressures, the difficulty of finding qualified personnel, and adapting to consumer preferences. Nonetheless, the sector, which really belongs in the \u2018luxury\u2019 range, is in a position to benefit from all the current tensions in the world, with a luxury watch becoming a store of value, just like a piece of jewellery or a diamond. <\/p>
