Despite a Hit in 2020, Swatch Benefits From Cost Improvement Potential
Business Strategy and Outlook
The Swatch Group is the biggest vertically integrated Swiss watch manufacturer with 18 brands covering all price ranges, from entry to ultraluxury. Swatch-owned brands account for around 35% of Swiss watch exports, and the company supplies competitors with watch movements. Swatch Group’s luxury brands boast 100- to 200-year histories, iconic collections, and deep cultural heritage. Most of Swatch's brands (at price points below $10,000) benefit from a cost advantage through scale and a higher degree of production automation.
