  • The Impact of the Quartz Crisis in Switzerland Tate Twinam Department of Economics College of William
    Trade Shocks and Growth: The Impact of the Quartz Crisis in Switzerland Tate Twinam Department of Economics College of William & Mary Abstract. Agglomeration economies and clustering effects are a key driver of urban growth. They can also be a source of vulnerability when cities and regions specialize in export- intensive industries. Foreign competition and technological change can threaten the survival of exporters, and shocks to these industries can have long-run effects on the communities which rely on them. In this paper, I study the impact of a rapid and large-scale trade shock: The quartz crisis, which devastated the globally dominant Swiss watch industry in the 1970s. I document the geographic agglomeration pattern of the industry and the impact of the crisis on exports, employment, and wages. Using a differences-in-differences strategy, I show that this trade shock led to a large and rapid loss of population in affected areas, and a long-run change in growth patterns. I explore the mechanisms behind this population change, including the role of manufacturing employment and immigration. I discuss the implications of these results for theories of urban growth, and contrast them with recent work on the China shock in Europe and the United States. 1. Introduction Agglomeration economies are widely recognized as a key driver of urban and regional growth. They can also be a source of resilience. Path dependence in the location of eco- nomic activity has allowed many regions to survive and grow despite the irrelevance of their initial natural advantages or immense physical devastation stemming from wars or natural disasters.

  • How to Buy a Vintage Timepiece
    How to Buy a Vintage Timepiece Like other luxury collectibles, the market for vintage watch collecting is burgeoning, thanks to a longing for superior craftsmanship and a nostalgia for all things vintage. And as with other asset classes, such as vintage cars or fine jewelry, a luxury pre-owned watch carries with it a certain prestige and glamour, as well as its own unique provenance. Here, Christie’s International Head of Watches, John Reardon, expands on the five rules to heed when buying a vintage watch. 1. DEFINE WHAT YOU ARE COLLECTING AND WHY Know your own mind. Are you interested in passing something special on to the next generation, or a black and white investment, or simply to buy a watch you can wear? What is your interest in a particular watch? Is it the workmanship and “complications” — from day/date indicators to chronographs to phases of the moon and perpetual calendars — or its provenance, such as a watch belonging to an important aviation pioneer, sports or historical figure? 2) DEFINE HOW YOU WANT TO BUY Many fine collections have begun in conversations with reputable jewelers and watch specialists at traditional auction houses. However, when it comes to buying outside these established channels, the luxury vintage watch marketplace can be a minefield for the novice collector when it comes to authenticating a watch’s condition and provenance. Related: Find Accessories for Your Next Adventure At Christie’s, collectors can access the world’s finest vintage and modern timepieces through its eight live auctions a year in Geneva, Hong Kong, New York, and Dubai.

  • The Chronograph Collection
    80: Collecting Brands, vintages, case shapes, complications – watch collectors are driven by a number of things, but almost without exception, they involve the watches in their entirety. Chronograph collectors, perhaps uniquely, are inspired by one other value, in addition to obvious susceptibility to the above: they’re obsessed by movements. Ken Kessler Below. A pre-moon Speedmaster Professional model powered by the Lemania caliber 321, which was replaced in 1968 by the slightly cheaper calibre 861 (also Lemania). Visually, the 1968 change consisted of a new bracelet and a printed Omega logo on the dial instead of a metal applied Omega logo. “Hold on a sec,” you might be thinking. “All desirability of the models.

  • Brand Globalization and the Comeback of the Swiss Watch
    Brand Globalization and the Comeback of the Swiss Watch Industry on the World Market, 1980-2010 Pierre-Yves Donzé, Kyoto University WORK IN PROGRESS, DON’T QUOTE WITHOUT PERMISSION Introduction Brand management is a key component of modern enterprises. 1 For firms, the main function of brands is to “differentiate them from competition”. 2 According to Teresa da Silva Lopes and Paul Duguid, brands have a positive effect for both consumers and producers. They enable the former to identify the product and reduce uncertainty, whereas for the latter, “they gave the capacity to shape consumers’ interest and tastes”. 3 Alfred Chandler argues that companies began to adopt brand management in the late 19th century when their markets expanded geographically.4 The transformation of the distribution system, with the emergence of chain stores and supermarkets, and the enlargement of consumption led to a need to identify products, especially in the consumer goods industry (processed food, beverages, tobacco, etc.). Yet despite the fact that packaged consumer goods manufacturers (Heinz, Kellogg, Nestlé, etc.) spread worldwide and built up a global organization during the years 1 Teresa da Silva Lopes, Global Brands: The Evolution of Multinationals in Alcoholic Beverages , New York: Cambridge University Press, 2007. 2 Teresa da Silva Lopes and Paul Duguid, “Introduction: Brands and Competitiveness”, in Teresa da Silva Lopes and Paul Duguid (eds.), Trademarks, Brands, and Competitiveness , New York & London: Routledge, 2010, p. 1. 3 Ibidem. 4 Alfred Chandler, Scale and Scope: The Dynamics of Industrial Capitalism , Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1994, pp. 63-65, 168-170 1880-1914, this did not lead to the appearance of global brands.
