Swatch watches - everybody wants them!
Everybody wants Swatch
watches! In
the mid 70s, the Swiss watch industry was in the midst of its worst ever
crisis. Technologically speaking, the Japanese competition had been outclassed
in 1979 with the launch of the 'Delirium', the world's thinnest wristwatch
with a limited number of components. But the event that marked the upturn
in the industry's fortunes was the founding of SMH, the Swiss Corporation
for Microelectronics and Watchmaking Industries.
And its answer to
the crisis was Swatch, a slim plastic watch with only 51 components that
combined top quality with a highly affordable price. It first went on
sale in 1983. Now, nearly 200 million units later, it is the most successful
wristwatch of all time and The Swatch Group, the parent company, is the
largest and most dynamic watch company in the world.
