Swatch profits plunge on weak China sales
Sales to Chinese wholesalers fell by 30% during the first half of the year and were down by 15% in Swatch's retail stores.(EPA Images pic) ZURICH : Swatch Group said today that weak sales in China wiped out growth elsewhere in the first half of the year for the world's top watch company, leaving it barely profitable. Net sales fell 11.2% to CHF3.1 billion (US$3.8 billion), while net profit plunged 88% to CHF17 million. 'The decline in sales is exclusively attributable to China,' the company said, adding that sales in other regions reached record levels set in 2023 and 2024. Besides its eponymous Swatch watches, the company owns high-end brands such as Omega, Longines and Tissot, and like other luxury firms the demand of Chinese consumers for Western goods has made it a top market. However, Swatch said the region's share in total sales have fallen from a third to just under a quarter as China's economy has struggled, with a real estate crisis hampering consumption by many households. Sales to Chinese wholesalers fell by 30% during the first half of the year and were down by 15% in Swatch's retail stores. However, Swatch said it has seen the first signs of improvement in China and expects an improved market environment in the second half of the year. Meanwhile, first half sales growth reached double digits in North America, India, Turkey, Middle East and Australia. 'The US, Japan and India continue to have great growth potential,' it said, adding it expects utilisation of its production capacity to rise in the second half of the year thanks to new product launches.

For a gentleman's adventures
Portraying a dashing modern traveller, Henry Cavill sports the Longines Spirit Zulu Time 1925 that gives him the time in Sydney and Hong Kong in a new campaign. Named Longines Ambassador of Elegance earlier this year, the acclaimed British actor relates well to the campaign, which explores the question: "What time is it there?" "For me, the Spirit Zulu Time represents not only precision timekeeping, but also connection. In today's lifestyle, our loved ones and colleagues can often be a world away," he said. "However, the Spirit Zulu Time gives me, at a glance, that immediate connection with them. Knowing where someone is in their day, whilst not detailed, you can imagine being in their shoes, which places you with them for a moment." Longines' heritage in dual time zone wristwatches inspired the launch of the Spirit Zulu Time collection in 2022. The campaign marks the centenary of the original Longines Zulu Time, which debuted in 1925 during the early years of commercial flights. "Longines timepieces are not only beautiful with that classic understated elegance that the brand is known for, but they also come with the storied history of pioneers," Cavill said. "Longines were at the forefront during a time of true adventure, when travelling the globe was still the stuff of stories and legend." His prolific career had him flying as Superman in Man Of Steel (2013) while other leading roles include Napoleon Solo in The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015) and Gus March-Phillips in The Ministry Of Ungentlemenly Warfare (2024). His new role as Longines Ambassador of Elegance takes him into the watchmaking world, starting with a visit to the historic headquarters in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. "Dating back to 1832, the history of Longines is incredible, we'd be here all week if I tried to get into explaining all of it," he said. "The craftsmanship is equally astounding. That might sound like an obvious thing to say, but to see these watches being built -- there is a certain peace to the watchmaking, a quietness in respect of the task." The Swiss brand expresses its ethos through the slogan "Elegance Is An Attitude". Its partnership with Cavill illustrates how his sophistication and multifaceted personality reflect what elegance means today, and how it exudes through both professional excellence and personal conduct. "Elegance is beauty, without being garish. How do I embody it?" he said. "I try not to overly focus on my own elegance as that can quickly become counterproductive, but I try to keep my eye on it as far as my behaviour goes and the interactions both personally and professionally."
