CLASSIC AND ELEGANT Dismissed a few years ago as boring and unexciting, these watches are becoming the staple they used to be — elegant, traditional designs that can stay in a watch brand’s line, and on your wrist, for years. Customers are turning back to tried-and-true timepieces as a backlash against the outlandish and as a hedge on the future. More and more high-end brands are addressing this need and bringing out great classic timepieces. Companies who already had a classical aspect to their brand are reaping the rewards, as they do not have to hustle to meet this market demand. Companies like Patek Philippe, Rolex, Montblanc, Baume & Mercier, Ulysse Nardin and many others were in a great position to take advantage of the current market trend toward classicism.

TOURBILLONS: BEAUTY IN MOTION Turning. Spinning. Rotating. Revolving. Anyone who looks at a tourbillon will be drawn in and fascinated by the cage of the timepiece, which typically holds the escapement wheel, the escapement and the regulatory organ, the balance. All these small, complex parts are moving, turning and spinning constantly. Invented in 1795 by Abraham-Louis Breguet and patented in Paris in 1801, the tourbillon was created not for aesthetic reasons, but instead to solve the problems associated with the effects of the position of a pocket watch on the accuracy and the precision of a timepiece — as too often, a pocket watch was placed in one position for long periods of time (on a desk, on the night table, in a pocket, etc.). Breguet’s invention solved the positional effects by having the cage of the tourbillon rotate. With wristwatches, the problem of positioning is not so critical, as the timepieces move with the wrists of their owners. However, tourbillons have proven to be the most precise mechanical watches, as a Jaeger-LeCoultre tourbillon won the first International Chronometry Competition sponsored by the Château des Monts in Le Locle, Switzerland, and another tourbillon from the same company took second place.

Un paradis naturel Au cœur de l’arc jurassien, au bord du plus vaste plan d’eau entièrement suisse, face à la chaîne des Alpes, le Pays de Neu- châtel jouit d’une situation géographique privilégiée à tous égards. Sur une superficie restreinte, il offre une étonnante diversité de paysages au charme prenant et à l’authenticité préservée, les deux-tiers du territoire étant zones protégées. Littoral neuchâtelois Un centre urbain à la campagne, ouvert sur le monde Ce pays de forte nature est pourtant urbain par sa dimension et sa culture. Sa population n’est que de 170’000 habitants, dont 70% vivent dans le Réseau urbain neuchâtelois (RUN), que forment les agglomérations de Neuchâtel (Littoral) et de La Chaux-de-Fonds/Le Locle (Haut). Son niveau d’équipement et de services est élevé, avec notamment des structures de formation de premier ordre (Université, écoles techniques supérieures, professionnelles, etc.), sa vie culturelle et asso- ciative intense et riche. Et le Pays de Neuchâtel, largement ouvert sur le monde par son histoire et sa trajectoire économique, est près de tout: frontalier de la France, il est à une demi-heure de la capitale fédérale Berne, à un peu plus d’une heure de la métropole économique Zurich et de la cité internationale Genève.

  • 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.
