dear designboom reader,

american investment bank morgan stanley and luxeconsult have published their annual report on the swiss watch industry. according to the report, rolex remains the absolute leader of swiss watch brands, while audemars piguet has moved up two places and achieved a record year, the best in its history.

in more swiss watch brand news, breitling collaborates with triumph for a watch and motorcycle collaboration inspired by 1960s café-racer culture. finally, takashi murakami translates his trademark smiling flower into a spectrum of 384 gemstones for the second timepiece in his collaboration with hublot.

thanks for reading!
