Company Description
Systems.
Watches & Jewelry segment, which brings in almost all of Swatch's revenue (about 95%), works in the design,
production and commercialization of watches and jewelry, and Electronic Systems (accounts for the rest)
designs, produces, and commercializes electronic components and sports timing products.
Swatch also operates Swatch Group Services, which supports Swatch's companies in logistical, distribution,
and IT matters.

Note: Growth rates may differ after conversion to US Dollars.


The company's revenue in 2021 increased to CHF7.3 billion compared to CHF5.6 billion in the prior year.
Net income in 2021 decreased to CHF774 million compared to a net loss of CHF53 million in the prior year.
Cash held by the company at the end of 2021 increased to CHF1.9 billion. Operating activities provided CHF1.3
billion while investing and financing activities provided CHF727 million and CHF234 million, respectively.

Swatch is headquartered in Switzerland. Sales in Asia account for nearly 65% of total revenue, with China alone
accounting for more than 40%. Europe, including Switzerland, accounts for about 25%, the Americas generate
over 10%, and the rest comes from Oceania and Africa.

Swatch has a global sales network and service centers, and a wide range of operating and production sites in
the fields of watchmaking, fine jewelry, and electronic components.

The Swatch Group was first established when watchmakers ASUAG and SSIH were merged in 1983. ASUAG
was founded in 1931 in Switzerland to make watches. By the late 1970s ASUAG had acquired some 100 family-
owned companies, many of which were operating independently and inefficiently. When it merged with SSIH,
ASUAG owned the Longines and Rado brands and made watch components.
Watchmaker SSIH was formed in 1930 with the merger of brands Tissot and Omega (which traced its history to
1848). SSIH and other Swiss watchmakers were struggling by the late 1970s. The market was flooded with
cheaper watches made in Japan and Hong Kong that used quartz technology (a technology invented -- but
ignored -- by the Swiss). SSIH had licensed out its prestigious Omega brand to other manufacturers in various
countries, hurting that brand's reputation.
With both ASUAG and SSIH on the verge of bankruptcy, Swiss banks named Nicolas Hayek (then the CEO of
consulting firm Hayek Engineering) to advise the companies on their futures. He recommended that ASUAG and
SSIH merge and then mass-produce a low-cost watch and sell it globally at a set price. The two companies
merged in 1983, forming SMH (Société Suisse de Microélectronique & d'Horlogerie); its headquarters were
ASUAG's in Biel, Switzerland.
SMH had sales of about $1.1 billion with losses of some $124 million in 1983. That year it introduced the
Swatch watch amid some resistance and objections that the watch would ruin the Swiss image of makers of
high-quality, premium-priced watches. But Swatch watches became fashion statements and pop-culture icons in
the 1980s and Hayek, who spearheaded the turnaround, became a Swiss business hero. Hayek and a group of
investors bought a controlling 51% stake of SMH, and he became CEO in 1985.
In 1992 the company bought Blancpain (luxury watches) and Frederic Piguet (luxury watch components). By
1993 SMH had expanded into semiconductor chips, pagers, and telephones. The next year it formed a joint
venture (19%-owned by SMH) called Micro Compact Car (MCC) with Daimler-Benz to make a battery- and
gasoline-powered Swatchmobile.
Because of difficulty in translating its name into other languages, the company changed its name in 1998 to
The Swatch Group. That year it also sold its 19% stake in MCC to Daimler-Benz. In 1999 Swatch bought
Groupe Horloger Breguet, a manufacturer of mechanical timepieces since 1775, and Swiss watch case maker
Favre & Perret. In 2000 the growing company pocketed German luxury watchmaker Glashütter, among others.
Acquisitions in 2001 included two Greek companies, Aliki Perri and Alikonia. Swatch bought Swiss watch dial
maker Rubattel & Weyermann in 2002. Later that year Hayek retired as CEO, but remained chairman; his son

866-541-3770 • HOOVERS.COM December 7, 2022 • PAGE 3


Nicolas became CEO.
In 2004 Swatch unveiled the Paparazzi, a watch it made in collaboration with MSN Direct (a division of
Microsoft) which can link to updated international news, weather forecasts, and lottery results. All that, and it
tells the time. The production side of business grew again in October 2006 when the company acquired watch
dial maker MOM Le Prélet SA of Switzerland.
Swatch subsequently struck a handful of deals with retailers to further its products. Swatch formed a retail
partnership in 2006 with Tourneau, the world's largest watch store, to open watch stores in high-end outlet malls
across the US. In 2008 it took a significant stake in luxury goods retailer Rivoli Group, based in Dubai.
Swatch has also disposed of assets in order to focus on its core operations. In early 2010 the company sold the
assets of its Microcomponents Ltd of Switzerland and Zhuhai SMH Watchmaking Co. subsidiaries, which
produce stepper motors and clocks for automobile instrument panels, to Singapore's Juken Technology. The
deal was worth some S$6 million and included the units' manufacturing centers in China and Switzerland.
Founder and chairman Nicolas Hayek died upexpectedly of heart failure in June 2010. He was succeeded by
vice chairman Nayla Hayek, his daughter.
