The Swiss watch industry breathed a collective sigh of relief after US President Donald Trump reduced the punitive tariff on Swiss goods from 39 to 15 percent. This move came shortly after Trump met with Rolex’s CEO and received a gold Rolex. The question of how Swiss Made watches can survive in the US market has been a burning issue. Swiss watchmakers have struggled to explain to the American president – who demands production within US borders to remove punitive tariffs – that pink datejust rolex it is impossible to produce Swiss Made watches outside Switzerland. Recently, Trump met with Rolex CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour and Richemont chairman Johann Rupert. The Swiss managed to reduce the punitive tariff from 39 to 15 percent, matching the rate applied to EU goods. This agreement places Switzerland on the same level as the EU and brings the tariff from 39 percent down to 15 percent, stated Swiss Economy Minister Guy Parmelin. The punitive tariff affected about 40 percent of total Swiss exports.

The US introduced the punitive tariff on Swiss goods in August, causing a spike in Swiss watch exports to America as brands rushed to fill warehouses before the levy took effect. Since then, Swatch Group (Omega, Certina, Tissot, Breguet, and many others) raised US prices by up to 10 percent. Patek Philippe increased prices by 15 percent, while Rolex held steady. Rumors have circulated that Rolex knew something others didn’t – perhaps leveraging best Bvlgari Aluminium replica watch its influence early in discussions with US authorities through Swiss channels. Now it remains to be seen whether brands that raised prices will roll them back. In September, Swiss watch exports to the US plummeted 55.6 percent – a figure expected to improve dramatically in December. Many buyers turned to the secondary market for luxury watches as new prices surged. The tariff reduction also covers Swiss pharmaceuticals, an industry far larger than watchmaking.

Experts say the tariff cut from 39 to 15 percent means previously necessary price increases will not be implemented. Many watchmakers have been waiting to see if tariffs would be reduced. With the Swiss franc strong and gold prices high, further price hikes would have been too much. I believe the 15 percent rate is already factored into prices – good news for US dealers of Swiss watches, says industry expert Oliver Müller of LuxeConsult. With the tariff development, global price increases are not expected. It was anticipated that many watch brands would be forced to make consumers outside the US pay for the decline in US new-watch sales.
