"The Swedish Watchmakers Association: A Model Watchmaking Organisation"- Original magazine article (magazine clipping) which was removed from a 1955 Swiss magazine.

Text in the article is in English.

The opening paragraph of the article reads:

"To-day Sweden has about 7 million inhabitants and 1250 watchmakers. As in other countries, our Swedish colleagues have had to fight hard for their existence. They do not enjoy the monopoly of the sale of watches and clocks; they are compelled to share the market with about 400 large shops and export houses. These competitors sell through intermediaries. And so these Swedish watchmakers have proved the need of combining in an association about which we would like to say a few words, based on information given by its director Mr. John Olof Lysell."

The magazine article was carefully removed from a Swiss magazine.

[Please note: this is a magazine article/magazine clipping only; no watch, clock, parts or tools are included.]

The article is 5 pages in length (on 3 sheets of paper) and includes a few small black and white images within the text.

Also included is an additional single page article titled: "An Eminent Swiss Professor Mr. Andre Bornand is honoured by Swedish Watchmakers." (This article is one single page in length.)

As with most vintage magazine clippings, there is some yellowing to the paper due to age as well as light wear and small bends.

The magazine article was carefully removed directly from a Swiss magazine. It is not a copy or reproduction. The rest of the magazine is not included.
