Watchmaker Swatch saw its share price slump 15%. Swatch chief executive Nick Hayek called the decision "a tsunami" for Switzerland's economy.

Going to be an interesting few weeks for the Swiss.

A more detailed article about Swatch

Quote:
A strong franc is a challenge for exporters like Swatch and small- and mid-size companies with factories in Switzerland, where shop-floor workers earn some of the highest wages in Europe. Timepieces make up more than a 10th of the country’s total exports, led by brands including Rolex, Swatch’s Omega and Richemont’s Cartier.
