Since the early 2000s, the value of watch exports to China has increased by a factor of 100. Hong Kong and China are the first and third most important destinations for Swiss watch imports. When watch sales to tourists are combined, it is estimated that up to half of the watches sold in the world end up on the wrists of Chinese buyers. It is no exaggeration that Asia is now the largest watch market in the world, the true El Dorado for watchmakers in the world in general and Switzerland in particular.
