Why are the Swiss so good at making watches?
September 21st, 2008
There are certain countries that are regarded as the best in their field for manufacturing certain products. The Belgians are well known as master chocolate makers and the Swiss are regarded as the finest watch makers. The Swiss have been making timepieces since the middle of the 16th Century. The watch making industry boomed there following the banning of wearing jewellery. Today, the Watch industry is still huge business for Switzerland as it is their third largest export. They are still highly regarded and include such prestigious names as Tag Heuer. If a Tag Heuer watch is slightly out of your price range, why not have a look at the latest fashion trend, the Toy Watch?
