What Post Financial Crisis Growth for the Swiss Watchmaking Industry ?

The Swiss watchmaking industry is an economic lung for the country. Out of 1.2 billion watches produced every year, only 30 millions are assembled in Switzerland. Between 2003 and 2008 the industry saw its yearly revenues jumped from CHF 10 Billion to CHF 16 Billion. Nevertheless that number dropped to nearly CHF 12 Billion at the end of 2009. The question is now to know whether will the industry be able to reach again the same prefinancial crisis growth rate or not.
