Swatch group have also put a hold on all exports to Russia.

With the rouble’s collapse, I think normal Russians have more pressing concerns than some stupid watches.

there is going to be more watch companies releasing statements like Rolex "halting exports to Russia" or Swatch Group "blocking exports to Russia". Personally I think this is really not clear - from how I see the situation the exports are anyway extremely diffucult as many shipping companies also refuse to deliver to Russia - so what does it really mean? Did they stop proactively or they are anyway forced to stop? With RUB exchange rates plumetting it is no wonder that even if the exports were still not interupted, the outlook on business in Russia is really pessimistic. So, to be honest, all these statements quoted above sound really opportunistic in my view.
