Swiss Watch Exports Return to Growth After US Eases Tariffs

Swiss watch exports returned to growth after four months of declines as brands rushed to send inventory to the US after it eased tariffs.

Exports gained 3.3% in December from a year earlier, reaching 2.1 billion Swiss francs ($2.7 billion), the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry said Thursday. The recovery brought total annual watch exports to 25.6 billion francs, a fall of 1.7% compared with 2024.
