As we all know, since the mid-1990s, the sales volume of Swiss watches in the Japanese watch market has surpassed that of Japanese brands, and the influence of Japanese watch manufacturers is weakening.
However, in fiscal year 2002 (April 2002 ~ March 2003), Seiko Clocks achieved a record sales growth of 65,438+00% with five brands, such as strategic commodities "GrandSeiko" and "Dolce&Exceline". It has created a turnover of more than/kloc-0.00 billion yen, realized an operating profit of nearly 7%, and injected a shot in the arm for the declining "Made in Japan".
Yosuke Kobe, vice president of seiko watch, asked himself, "Did we not seriously publicize the advantages of Japanese manufacturing to our customers before?" Are we underestimating the value of fine micromachining technology? "
Seiko watch is not the only enterprise with this sense of crisis. Citizen Watch believes that the "Made in Japan Strategy" must be implemented. In order to achieve the same goal of Japanese brands making a comeback, Seiko and Citizen merged the previous product launch conference to show their products to the circulation industry in the way of "five mountains in the same boat (turning enemies into friends)".
