HS v2017 Code: 910291

About pocket watches and other watches, including stop-watches; (excluding wrist-watches), other than those of heading no. 9101, electrically operated

hs code 910291 covers a wide range of pocket watches and other non-wrist watches, including stop-watches, that are electrically operated. This industry plays a crucial role in the broader timepiece and luxury goods sectors, catering to both practical and aesthetic demands. These specialized watches are valued for their precision, craftsmanship, and often serve as collectible items or status symbols.

Production process

The production of watches under hs code 910291 typically involves a multi-step process. This includes the assembly of the watch movement, which houses the mechanisms that power the timepiece, as well as the design and crafting of the watch case, dial, and other external components. Advanced manufacturing techniques, such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer numerical control (CNC) machining, are often employed to ensure consistent quality and precision.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of watches under hs code 910291 include high-quality metals (such as gold, silver, and stainless steel), specialized watch movements (both mechanical and quartz), and various other components like watch hands, crystals, and straps. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled watchmakers, designers, and engineers to ensure the proper functioning and aesthetic appeal of these timepieces.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by hs code 910291 are pocket watches, stop-watches, and other non-wrist watches that are electrically operated. These watches may be sold directly to consumers or distributed to 4203 Saddlery and harness and 4204 Travel goods, handbags and similar containers industries, which may incorporate them into their own products. The outputs of this industry are often considered luxury items and may be consumed by high-end retail and collector markets.
