In other news, an update on the Swiss watch exports in 2022 and our ideas on what to expect in 2023. Spoiler: don’t be too optimistic. We shared key figures from the Swatch Group, Richemont and LVMH, with some record numbers. There's useful information about Hublot and their new production site, the majority shares acquisition in Reuge by De Bethune, a couple of words about The Collectibles by Jaeger Le-Coultre and a tragic loss of one of the most interesting men in the watch retail industry Mr. Hellmut Wempe.

In terms of watches we talk about Hermes, Omega, all the novelties from AP, and the unique timepiece by Louis Vuitton, dedicated to the 200th anniversary of Mr Vuitton himself. Not to be missed are models from Grand Seiko, Vulcain, and Meraud. As well as two emerging and very promising independent brands: Hooke and Huygens and Junge Uhrmacher.
