Well, you unilaterally cut off supplies to other watch companies and there are likely to be consequences.

"Nice watch factory you got there...."

Now that's a good excuse to cutting more supply.

News here casually mentioned a fire at the Swatch factory that produces most of the high-end watch movements for the world.
Anybody hear anything?
Hopefully it's just typical fluff reporting.

The investigators should consider this question: Who would benefit from Swatch being unable to produce ébauche calibers? 😒 It might be their "coronet" achievement. 😉
