What comes to your mind when you hear the word "Switzerland”?
 🧀 Cheese ⌚️ Watches 🍫 Chocolate ⚒️ Swiss Knife 🏞️ Lush green landscapes 🗻Snow-capped mountains Personally, I've always wondered how Switzerland, regardless of  its small size of 41,285 km² and limited natural resources, became such a big economic powerhouse. Swiss chocolates, like Lindt, Cailler are loved worldwide despite the country not producing cocoa. 
 Swiss watches, from brands like Rolex, Tag Heuer, Patek Philippe, are coveted for their excellence. Swiss knives, especially from Victorinox, are renowned for their quality and functionality. What makes Swiss products so special? 1️⃣ Quality The stringent quality control measures ensure only the best products reach consumers, while complying to specific standards and certifications. 
 2️⃣ Craftsmanship Switzerland has a rich heritage of craftsmanship. Swiss watchmakers have perfected their art over centuries, blending tradition with innovation. This meticulous attention to detail is evident in every product. 
 3️⃣ Process Swiss manufacturing processes are efficient and precise. The country's infrastructure supports advanced production techniques, and a culture of continuous improvement fosters innovation. This ensures consistency and reliability across all Swiss products.

💡 ⌚ #Rolex is joining the growing list of #luxury brands taking control of second-hand (or pre-owned) product sales. With rising demand for second-hand luxury, the once-taboo topic of owning pre-owned goods has become widely accepted. Luxury brands are looking to reclaim the market share they've been losing to second-hand platforms. The added benefit for customers? These brands can authenticate the items. The downside? Prices may not be as competitive: "Rolex will now sell you a used watch - but you'll pay a price."

Rather than announcing the end of the watch industry after three years of uninterrupted growth and record years, we should reflect on the positives which are the resilience that this industry has shown each time it was at risk. The start of the Geneva Watches and Wonders show was a bit tense, because the sales figures of the watch industry weren't that great recently... but not since recently, like most of the journalists seem to think. The second half of 2023 was already very challenging in terms of sell-out figures and only half of the brands featured on the Morgan Stanley x Luxeconsult Sàrl top 50 achieved growth, fifteen on the contrary had declining sales compared year-on-year. To cut a long story short, the show ended with more smiles than anyone would have expected in the first place. We saw of course a more cautious approach by most of the institutional brands and more discreet brand CEO's, but also very coherent product launches helping in times of uncertainty. The industry is coping mainly with economical and geopolitical issues that it can't influence, but at the same time it is achieving the challenge of connecting with the younger demographics, which is the main challenge for the whole luxury industry.
