Swatch Group, Allied With Audemars Piguet, Announces Sophisticated Nivachron Technology

Current speculation is that the Swatch Group will host their own show. It is perhaps interesting that in the Nivachron announcement the publicly-traded Swatch Group chose to include mention of Audemars Piguet – a privately-owned competitor. Audemars Piguet has not participated with Baselworld for many years, instead displaying their new watches in Geneva each year at the SIHH haute horology trade show event.

the Nivachron alloy and the balance springs that will be produced as a result of it entirely fit into a larger strategy pushed by the traditional watch industry to focus on magnetic-resistance in as many of their new watches as possible.

One of the most prominent ETA competitors is Sellita – who in the near future may now longer be able to say that their movements are “1:1” substitutes of ETA movements. The Sellita SW200 (for example) is designed to fit any timepiece engineered to use an ETA 2824 automatic. If the ETA 2824 movements of the near future include anti-magnetic Nivachron balance springs, then Sellita will either have to up its game, or perhaps reduce their prices.

Over the next two years Swatch will be expected to deliver just 75% of parts to rival companies from average levels between 2009 and 2011. The supply of parts will then be dropped further to 65% in the years 2016 and 2017 and to 55% in 2018 and 2019.
A clause in the agreement is designed protect “hardship” cases where the denial of parts might be detrimental, even disastrous to smaller companies. Also, the agreement may be reassessed if market conditions evolve differently in the years to come.

In recent years several high-end brands have started to focus on developing their own in-house movements, or developing or adapting movements based on some of the ETA hardworking standards such as the ETA 2824-2 or 7750 for chronographs. ETA has 20 production sites located in the foothills of Jura and the Swiss cantons of Valais and Ticino. Their production and assembly of movements and watches are considered global benchmarks for their reliability and performance.

Swatch Group reports that it now controls the entire gold processing chain internally. Its own foundry, which has just been granted a Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) Code of Practices (COP) certificate, is now able to manage all of the gold requirements within the Group. Swatch Group has thus taken a new step forward in traceability.

Nivarox, a subsidiary of Swatch Group, was audited by an independent Swiss body in October 2018 for its Responsible Jewellery Council COP certification. Swatch Group received the official certificate from the RJC last Friday.

All of the Group's gold will be processed in a totally closed cycle and under strict internal control. In other words, the entire transformation process from the foundry to the semi-finished and finished products is controlled within Swatch Group. The same is applicable even for waste materials, including production waste. Swatch Group will be able to further accelerate the creation of new alloys, as it has already done with Sedna gold, developed in-house by its metallurgists and scientists.

This internal foundry is a key element in guaranteeing that in the future, 100% traceability of gold at the Swatch Group, combined of course with traceable gold purchases, is ensured.

What Swatch Group Promises To Release In 2019
[/b]ABTW

We do, however, have one release date locked in. In February, the Swatch Sistem 51 is due to receive its own anti-magnetic hairspring. This comes one month after the debut of Swatch Pay, a new NFC-driven system that allows wearers to pay for items using their watch. Tissot will also be focusing on digital tech. The T-Touch will receive a new smart operating system to be launched during the course of 2019.

It has been announced that all future mechanical watches produced by the Swatch Group will feature anti-magnetic hairsprings. With the option to use either silicon or Nivachron springs



The somewhat surprising popularity of the Longines VHP series caused production issues last year; Longines predicts huge growth in this area, and we can expect to see an uptick in supply and model variation as the year wears on.
