82 of the smallest competitors, put together, obtained 6.11% of the total production of Swiss chronometers during 1955. Six firms only have reached more than 1% of the total production.

Rolex was first with 26,172, meaning that Rolex by itself obtained more than 45% of all the wrist-chronometers produced during 1955 in Switzerland by 94 competitors.
