Why Swiss Watches World Famous



Brand Watches Information ReportAccording to the World Economic Forum's "Global Competitiveness Report 2006-2007," shows that Switzerland was ranked as the world's most competitive economies, ranked fourth in 2005 and rose to first in 2006. This report describes how to receive this award, Switzerland, stressed that the reasons, in addition to sound institutional environment and excellent infrastructure, hardware, Switzerland, a high level of technological innovation and enterprise contributed a large number of R & D investment.

In order to explore the mysteries of the Swiss research and innovation, understanding of successful experience, this newspaper reporter recently in Geneva in western Switzerland-depth interview with "watch Valley," Bill's "Federation of Swiss Watch Industry" and related well-known companies, trying to watch from one side of the Swiss industry in the new competitive environment of market research and innovation, marketing, production and management status, and future development of the Swiss watch industry trend to do an introduction to the future development of China's enterprises helpful.

The emergence of the Swiss watch industry can be traced back the mid-16th century, since the first watch developed in Geneva, the watch industry quickly became a popular new craft Geneva, Switzerland, and the whole southwest. To the 16th century, the Geneva watch industry known for its high quality. Since then, with the increasing market demand, the scale of the Swiss watch industry has expanded each year, to around 1601 only watch factory in Geneva, as many as more than 500. From a historical point of view, the early watch very expensive, only by royalty as jewelry, as they show the status of luxury; watch the precision is very low in the early stage, together with the VIPs and lazy winding the watch several times a day, therefore, Strictly speaking, the watch was still far from achieving the function of time. Until 1675 the Swiss watchmaker after half a century of unremitting efforts, the breakthrough in the manufacture of "balance" the technical difficulties and the installation of the spring balance spring, the only effective way to overcome the watch during operation due to vibration of the uneven lead to inaccurate timing accuracy problems, the accuracy of the watch has been greatly improved. On this basis, the world's first needle watches come in Geneva in 1690. Then, the first generation of automatic winding sheet in 1770, developed in Switzerland, the Swiss precision mechanics this invention after the vertical-type winding sheet basis. In 1776, the Swiss developed the world's first three-pin watches, which determine the basic structure of modern watches. Since then, the Swiss watch-making industry has almost become a national symbol, the mere mention of Switzerland, people will think of high-quality Swiss watch.

Since then, the Swiss watch industry in parts of complex materials, special, fashionable, never worn, fine mechanical precision stopwatch calendar and is known world. Hou Ruishi 18th century watchmaking technology have started to leaps and bounds. Century was known as the great man is the top watchmaker born in Neuchâtel, Switzerland's Breguet. The watch factory production of "Breguet" brand watches customers are royalty and merchants across Europe, including King Louis XVI of France Houmalian East Wanei Te, Napoleon and Josephine, and the United States George * George Washington and so on. Great inventions of Breguet watches also can compensate for errors in a different location of the "tourbillon", there is this mechanical device is extremely accurate clocks to go, even in today's modern, tourbillon device is also limited to top expensive watches, we can see the complexity of the technology and precision. With the development of world economy and the global "time zone system" established in international trade and those who travel frequently raised the importance of time, increasing demand on the clock. According to historical records, in 1800, the global clock output reached 25 million, which accounted for the Swiss watch production of 2 / 3, ranking first in the world.
