– Swiss watch industry with rebound in 2021 (+18% after -22% in 2020)

– top brands still have waiting lists (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet) – all outperformers in 2020

– low-/mid-end will continue to underperform – smartwatch competition

– Mainland China as main growth driver given that travelling will not be back in 2021 yet – Hainan new top spot

– Swiss watch exports in 2021 CHF 20.0 bn – still well below 2019 level (CHF 21.7 bn)

– Smartwatch makers outperforming traditional watch producers

– Apple watch and Garmin with strong double-digit growth in 2020

– traditional watch producers like Swatch Group, Fossil, Citizen with decline of >-30% in 2020

– Apple watch in units already 2.5x of total Swiss watch industry

– Leather goods and jewelry with much stronger performance than watches in 2020

– Hermès (-6%) and LVMH Fashion & Leather Goods (-3%) far ahead of other luxury goods companies

– Richemont’s Jewellery Maisons also only -9% in 2020

– Swiss watch exports -22% in 2020, but Swatch Group even -32% but also Richemont Specialist Watches -26%

– EBIT margin with largest decline at Swatch Group, whereas leather goods/jewelry brands still high

– Richemont: Buy (PT CHF 100) / Swatch Group: Hold (PT CHF 270)

– Richemont with jewelry as core (41% of sales; watches 32%); Jewellery Maisons is a high-margin business;

Specialist Watchmakers with turnaround, Online Distribution/Other brands more limited losses

– Swatch Group with 90% in watches; 20% in low-/mid-end - impacted by smartwatch; further store closures likely
