- Synopsis
- "After years of growth and expanding exports, the Swiss watch industry—widely regarded as the world’s premier watchmakers—was facing an existential crisis. Exports to the U.S., their primary market, had dropped by more than two-thirds over the past five years. Despite their sterling reputation as luxury watches, Swiss watches were being disrupted by high-quality and affordable American products. The Swiss had to figure out how to respond to the American threat, but were faced with an almost impossible set of choices. No matter the outcome, the year 1876 would prove to be pivotal."
