I did find this report quiet unpalatable though ;

Companies can buy back the inventory, but it is expensive. In 2017 Richemont bought back €200m of unsold watches - and destroyed them so they would not be sold at knockdown prices. :shock: :thumbup:

Another BBC article today focusing on the current trade uncertainty between the UK & Switzerland. I'm sure CW are hoping for clarification.

I don't think there's much to concern us here. Appears to be project fear 'we're allll doomed I tell ye!'
Switzerland has a track record of executing swift trade deals and it's customary for the terms of previous relationships to be honoured whilst new ones are negotiated.

BBC = not very subtle propaganda. Ignore.
