Swiss watchmaking followed the rest of the luxury goods sector by operating at two different speeds in the first half of 2024. On the one hand, China, which is facing a crisis in the property sector, a high youth unemployment rate, a lacklustre economy and a deterioration in the climate of trust, saw a marked decline (-21.6%), dragging Hong Kong (-19.9%) in its wake. On the other hand, the rest of the world produced a slightly positive result (+1.0%), confirming the high-level consolidation initially expected for the sector this year.
