Swiss Luxury Watch Industry EXPOSED After New US Tarrifs

Swiss Luxury Watch Industry EXPOSED After New US Tariffs!

Welcome to EPITOME24 – your trusted destination for in-depth luxury watch insights.

In today’s video, we explore one of the most impactful developments to hit the luxury horology world in recent years: the newly imposed 31% import tariff on Swiss watches by the United States under President Donald Trump’s new trade policy. With Switzerland being the epicenter of fine watchmaking, this decision could reshape the future of the entire luxury watch industry.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:
In this deep-dive analysis, we examine:

The specifics of the April 2, 2025, U.S. tariff announcement, including how Switzerland, the EU, and Israel are being affected.
How the 31% tariff on Swiss watches marks a dramatic rise from previous rates and what this means for luxury watch consumers in the U.S.
The economic and strategic rationale behind the Trump administration’s move and its broader implications on global trade.
The potential consequences for iconic Swiss brands like Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, TAG Heuer, and Longines.
Are American luxury watch retailers and authorized dealers suffering from pricing pressures and inventory issues?

The likely boom of the resale and gray market for vintage and pre-owned Swiss watches.
Whether this move could trigger manufacturing relocations to the U.S. or the weakening of Swiss horological heritage.
The sentiment from major Swiss watchmakers, insiders, and industry analysts during events like Watches and Wonders Geneva 2025.

A critical outlook: Is this the new normal for the Swiss watch industry?

Why This Matters:
With the U.S. accounting for nearly 17% of Swiss watch exports (valued at CHF 4.4 billion), this tariff hike doesn’t just represent a policy change — it signifies a potential paradigm shift in luxury watch distribution, pricing, and accessibility. As we break down every layer of this development, you’ll get a clear picture of what lies ahead for both manufacturers and collectors.
