    Swiss Tariffs Slashed: Relief for Watchmakers

    Switzerland regains its rhythm as U.S. tariffs fall from 39% to 15%, restoring balance, trust, and confidence in Swiss craftsmanship. The new trade accord between Bern and Washington, which lowers United States tariffs on Swiss goods from an onerous 39 per cent to a more measured 15 per cent, may not sound dramatic in a world full of louder headlines. Yet for Switzerland, this quiet shift carries deep meaning. It speaks to something larger than economics. It touches on national character and the enduring belief that precision, quality and trust remain the pillars of exchange.

    NORQAIN Watch Plate Engraving Guide

    This episode outlines how customers can personalise their NORQAIN watches through engraving a unique feature of the timepiece known as the "NORQAIN plate."  This plate, consistently located on the left side of the watch case across all models, allows owners to engrave a personal message or important inscription. The company suggests engraving meaningful dates or initials to commemorate significant life events such as weddings, births, or major accomplishments. Ultimately, this customisation is intended to transform the watch into a lifelong, personalised keepsake that reflects the owner's journey and achievements.
