Statement on Russian invasion of Ukraine

The Watches of Switzerland Group is shocked and deeply concerned by the tragic events in Ukraine.  Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by the conflict, and we hope for a swift resolution and lasting peace. As a business operating in the UK and US, the Group has negligible exposure to Russian and Ukrainian customers.  Our guidance, as announced on 10 February 2022, remains unchanged.
