Impact on watchmaking industry can be a safe bet
In Response To: Swiss Franc exploding! ()

Hi Ron, it may not be directly Heuer-related but it will definitely send ripples across the Swiss watchmaking industry.
Suffice to say that one of the first persons interviewed by the Italian national radio was Nick Hayek Jr. the CEO of Swatch Group (whose company was down 16% at the moment compared to the previous day's) and he referred to this decoupling of the francs vs the Euro as a "seismic event".
Let's see how this unfolds...
Cheers,
Fabrizio
