Very interesting indeed

BTW, is there a section on RWI where similar articles are saved?

I enjoy reading about the watch industry, manufacturers, retailers, clients, employees, history etc.

Also interesting read/video of a watchmaker on the Isle of Man, very nostalgic.

I found this to be an interesting comment.

"Switzerland produces 3% of the world's watches but that 3% is worth $24.3bn a year - almost as much money as the rest of the world makes with the other 97%"
