Swiss watchmaking industry

The Swiss watchmaking industry is a major manufacturing sector in Switzerland that produces luxury timepieces and components. Operating primarily in the premium and luxury segments, the industry accounts for approximately 4% of Switzerland's GDP and represents the country's third-largest export sector after chemicals and pharmaceuticals, and machinery. In terms of value, Switzerland is the world's largest exporter of watches, though it produces only about 2% of global watch volume.
