World watch production today is concentrated in three countries:
Switzerland, Japan and China. Former centres such as Great Britain,
France, the United States and Russia saw the industrial manufacture
of watches disappear from their territory during the twentieth
century. How did this situation come about? The business of time
aims to answer this question by presenting the first comprehensive
history of the sector. It traces the evolution and transformation
of the global watch industry from the mid-nineteenth century to the
present day, highlighting the conditions that enabled watch
production to expand across the globe and revealing how
multinational companies gradually emerged to dominate the industry.
