Why do some people say that Swiss manufacturing is more "sophisticated" than German manufacturing "?
When it comes to made in Switzerland, the public may first think of Swiss watches and Swiss army knives, which are synonymous with "precision. Compared with made in Germany, the Swiss often joke that we are just a little more expensive than made in Germany, but a little more accurate, which also reflects the characteristics of made in Switzerland from the side.
1. Swiss clock
Why is the Swiss watch the best product in the world? Because in the Swiss mind, there is no "casual" two words, each thing's accuracy, integrity, harmony, durability, practicality, and design aesthetics are particularly exquisite. When dealing with every detail of the work, they will think that God is watching themselves, as if every part in the hand is a work of art is being appreciated.
The "craftsman spirit" can be seen in the example of Swiss watchmakers. Swiss watchmakers for every part, every process, every watch are carefully polished, concentrate on carving, their attitude to make products is the thinking and concept of craftsman spirit. In the eyes of craftsmen, there is only excellence in quality, meticulous manufacturing, and diligent pursuit of perfection. There is nothing else. It is with this dedicated craftsman spirit that Swiss watches are well-known and sold all over the world.
Patek Philippe, the world's most expensive and complex Patek Philippe, is a famous Swiss watch brand that began in 1839. It is the world's top ten watches and one of the only remaining independent watchmakers in Switzerland. Patek Philippe Patek Philippe to produce all its accessories. It takes up to 10 years to train a Patek Philippe Patek Philippe watchmaker.
Patek Philippe Patek Philippe's watches are the most expensive and are the most popular brand for watch collectors. This Grandmaster Chime 5175R, which claims to be the most complicated in history, sells for as much as $2.5 million! Let's take a look at its production process!
2. Swiss Machine Tools
"Swiss machine tool" is famous all over the world. As one of the German-speaking countries, the Swiss have followed the rigorous and serious "craftsman spirit" of the German-speaking countries, and have a dedication to excellence in craftsmanship. Someone once asked a Swiss boss, "Aren't you afraid that I will take your company apart and reverse engineer your whole product?" The man shrugged his shoulders and said "try". Try it. You know, all the machines of this company are hand-made, and no one in the world can imitate them.

Invisible Champions in Swiss Manufacturing"
There are many such "invisible champions" in the Swiss manufacturing industry. As can be seen from the composition of Swiss exports, Switzerland exports a large number of spare parts every year, many of which are produced by "invisible champions" enterprises.
At the same time, we can also see from the table that in 2018, watch exports accounted for only 7% of Switzerland's total exports, which shows that Switzerland is not just a "watch kingdom".
For example, McDonald's restaurant kitchen equipment in the world is provided by Swiss Franca Company, and 75% of spaghetti in the world is produced by machines made by Swiss Buhler Group. Most national central banks use top-secret ink produced by Swiss Sikebai Company to fill in bank bills. There are 110 invisible champions like this in Switzerland.
Swiss Vickers cutting tool is a typical representative of the "invisible champion" in Swiss enterprises. This world-famous enterprise with a history of 120 years is not in the list of the world's top 100. What makes the brand famous all over the world is the sharpness, firmness, durability and excellence of Vickers cutting tools. Vickers cutting tools have created a miracle in the history of human cutting tools. In order to make every Vickers tool useful for a lifetime, an ordinary tool has more than 200 processes, while one of the "Swiss Champion" models has more than 450 processes.
In major Swiss cities such as Lausanne, Zurich and Geneva, you can find tens of thousands of such small and medium-sized enterprises. They not only do one thing all their lives, but even several generations only do one thing.
Although Switzerland has a land area of only 41000 square kilometers (82000 square kilometers in Chongqing) and a population of only more than 800 million, its economic volume is at the level of elephants. 14 of the world's top 500 enterprises have been born, and they have been "dominating the list" all the year round. Involving finance, medicine, retail, industrial manufacturing and other industries.
From high-precision mechanical watches, to bulky cement, from the machine tools in the factory, to the food on the table... Swiss manufacturing involves not many fields, but a large span. More importantly, Switzerland is extremely competitive in all fields involved, and almost all of them are in the forefront of the world. For example, we know the food manufacturer Nestlé and our manufacturing industrial robot manufacturer ABB.
ABB Group is a veteran of the world's top 500 companies, the group headquarters is located in Zurich, Switzerland. It was formed by the merger of two century-old Swiss companies in 1988, with operations in nearly 100 countries and 135000 employees. There are 18000 employees in China alone. ABB market-oriented set up electrical products, robotics and motion control, industrial automation and power grid four business units. Today, it is a leader in power and automation technology.
Compared with made in Germany, the Swiss often joke that we are just a little more expensive than made in Germany, but a little more accurate, which also reflects the characteristics of made in Switzerland from the side.
The scarcity of resources in Switzerland determines that it will not be able to compete with others at low prices like many countries. It can only take a more sophisticated and innovative route to sell its products to the world at relatively expensive prices.
Therefore, it is very difficult for Swiss companies to survive without technological innovation. This is why Switzerland has won the global innovation index for the eighth consecutive year, ranking first in many patent and intellectual property related indicators, second in high-end and medium and high-end technology production, and top in R & D expenditure and quality of local universities. In Switzerland, 11.2 out of every 1000 people are scientific researchers, and Switzerland spends about 2.9 percent of GDP on research and development.
This, perhaps is the Swiss manufacturing "precision" reason!
