What do watch companies do?
Watch companies assemble mechanical and quartz movements into cases and straps, from mass-market and smart watches to hand-finished luxury pieces, while wholesalers and jewellers sell and service them. Movements and parts come from a few specialist manufacturing regions, and brands sell through jewellers, department stores, their own boutiques and online.
Our data comes from the business registers of 59 countries. SIC has no code of its own for watch companies: they sit in SIC codes 3873 (watches, clocks, clockwork operated devices, and parts), 5094 (jewelry, watches, precious stones, and precious metals) and 5944 (jewelry stores), so within that we select them on the CompanyData industry label for watchmakers and watch dealers. In NACE, the European code those registers use, 10,278 of them (85%) sit in classes 26.52 (manufacture of watches and clocks) and 47.77 (retail sale of watches and jewellery in specialised stores), part of divisions 26 (manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products) and 47 (retail trade, except of motor vehicles and motorcycles).
