  • The Changing Comparative Advantages of the Hong Kong Watch Industry, 1950–2010
    KER 81(1) pp. 28–47 SPECIAL ISSUE The Changing Comparative Advantages of the Hong Kong Watch Industry, 1950–2010 Pierre-Yves Donzé Graduate School of Economics/Hakubi Center, Kyoto University, Japan E-mail: donze.pierreyves.5z@kyoto-u.ac.jp ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to further an understanding of the conditions of competitiveness in the global watch industry from the 1950s to 2010, taking Hong Kong as an example. Analyzing its organizational structure and its integration into the international division of labor over this period makes it possible to highlight three different phases, during which Hong Kong benefi ted from various competitive advantages that supported the expansion of its watch industry (i.e., subcon- tracting in the 1950s and 1960s; assembly of electronic watches in the 1970s and 1980s; and the implementation and use of new global value chains from the late 1980s). Keywords: Hong Kong, Watch industry, Switzerland, Technology transfer JEL classifi cation Numbers: N65, L63 1 Introduction Although Hong Kong became in the 1980s the world’s second-largest producer of watches and clocks, behind Switzerland, the development of this industry and the reasons for its international competitiveness are not well known. Academic research addressing this subject can be classifi ed into two groups. First, there are scholars who are interested in the global watch industry and in the role of technological innovation, in relation to changes in the competi- tiveness of various nations (e.g., Glasmeier 2000, Stephens and Dennis 2000, Tajeddini and Trueman 2008, Tuschman 2000). Most of them explain the suc- cess of Hong Kong enterprises in terms of the mass production of low-end products—a business model made possible from the late 1970s onwards by the presence of cheap labor and easy access to core watchmaking technology, following the advent of quartz watches.
