While the now-annual trade show Geneva Watch Days is taking place from August 29 to September 2, Swiss #watch exports eked out a slight gain in July. Strong shipments to Japan and the US outweighed further declines in demand for premium and luxury timepieces in China and Hong Kong. 

The President of the SCCIJ, Mr. Thomas Brodbeck, was recently interviewed in The Japan Times' "Sustainability Japan" series. Discover his insights in the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/g-9gGRyN
