A sudden US tariff hike from 31% to 39% on Swiss goods has sent shockwaves through the watch industry, a move stemming from a wider trade dispute over a $40 billion deficit. While major groups like Richemont are partially insulated by diversified sales , Swatch Group has preemptively shipped extra inventory to the US to soften the blow. For American collectors, this means higher prices on new timepieces, boosting the value of existing collections and fuelling a boom in the pre-owned market.

Innocente Boxes creates handcrafted, personalized watch boxes that reflect the soul of each timepiece, blending artistry, craftsmanship, and human connection.

A. Lange & Söhne has risen to grail status, with rare, finely crafted watches now commanding top auction prices and global collector demand.

Everyone’s talking about tariffs—what they mean for imports, exports and interest rates etc.
