Swiss Watch Export Decline: Swiss watch exports fell by 16.5% in August compared to the previous year, with significant declines across all major markets, particularly in the U.S. (-23.9%), China (-35.5%), Japan (-22.5%), and the U.K. (-20.5%).
Impact of Tariffs: The introduction of a 39% tariff on Swiss watches in the U.S. has severely affected exports, leading to a 22% decrease in foreign sales to America in August compared to July.
