The Swatch Group is an international group active in the manufacture
and sale of finished watches, jewelry, watch movements and components.
Swatch Group supplies nearly all components required for the watches sold
by its 17 watch and jewelry brands as well as by its two retail brands,
Tourbillon and Hour Passion. The Group’s production companies also supply
movements and components to third-party watchmakers. The Swatch
Group is also a key player in the manufacture and sale of electronic
systems used in watchmaking and other industries. With its watch brands, it
is also a leader in the field of sports event timing as official timekeeper and
data-handler of most of the Olympic Games of the last decades and major
international sports events. The Swatch Group has a unique emotional
culture. Beauty, sensuality, emotions in watches are as much part of it as
high-tech, quality and added value on the customer’s wrist. Both, emotional
poetry and innovation play an active part in the commitment to its
customers. The Swatch Group was founded in 1983, by Nicolas G. Hayek.
It grew out of the merger of two big Swiss watch groups, ASUAG and SSIH.
The Group has since shown steady growth in key financials, leading to
records. Today Swatch Group employs more than 33,500 people in over 50
