“When Swiss companies declined to make quartz devices, inexpensive Japanese watches
from companies like Seiko became popular around the world. The “quartz crisis” killed
off so many Swiss watchmakers that by the end of the 1970s, the number of workers in
the industry had shrunk to 30,000 from 90,000. Brands in existence for centuries
vanished in a puff of disruption.” - NY Times, June 3 2015
