Figures are based on results of an industry updating exercise and therefore may not be comparable with previous years.

† As from September 1986, establishments previously engaged in the manufacture of watches and clocks were reclassified under 'metal cases, dials and parts for watches and clocks, except movements and watch bands", 'watches and clocks, mechanical' and 'watches and clocks, electronic'.
