Die Schweizer Uhrenexporte gingen im Juni um 5,6 Prozent zurück und setzten damit eine einjährige Talfahrt fort, die zu Rückgängen bei den Lieferungen in die USA, dem grössten Exportmarkt, geführt hat. Uhrenhersteller wie Rolex, Patek Philippe und Audemars Piguet kämpfen ebenfalls mit den Folgen eines stärkeren Schweizer Frankens und einer allgemeinen Schwäche der Luxusgüternachfrage.. --- Trumps Handelskrieg hat die Lage noch verschärft.
