In addition, Swatch benefits are not an isolated case, but in line with results reported by other companies like Bulgaria jewelry specializing in Italian or French Hermes International, which doubled in half its sales forecast for the year after reporting a rise from 27 percent in the second quarter.

Another company was successful diamond producer De Beers, which reported an 84 percent increase in sales of rough stones, up to 2.600 million, mainly driven by demand from Asia.
Just a year ago, luxury goods were struggling to survive amid the worst crisis since the Great Recession. A good example were the producers of high-end cars, they saw away its key markets in Europe and the U.S…
However, second quarter results of companies with luxury models like BMW, Mercedes Benz and Audi show that the sector has moved beyond the crisis.
BMW had net earnings in the second quarter of 834 million euros (versus 121 million in the same period of 2009) thanks to the demand for luxury vehicles in the U.S. and China. In addition, the same trend moved the German Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
Daimler, the parent of Mercedes-Benz, announced that it increased its operating profit forecast for 2010, after the Group increased its sales 19 percent in the second quarter, to 342,000 vehicles, the highest in its history.
Therefore, many luxury goods manufacturers are optimistic over the next six months. “We expect a solid result for the second half of 2010 in terms of both sales and profits,” said Swatch, which still operates as a family business, in a statement.
However, in view of concerns about the possible slowdown in global economic growth, other companies such as De Beers were more cautious. “We watched the remainder of 2010 with caution and optimism,” said the firm.
