ZURICH: Swatch will hike its prices in the United States by between 5% and 15% after the 39% tariff President Donald Trump imposed on Switzerland last month, the Swiss watchmaker's Chief Executive Nick Hayek said in a newspaper interview.

Hayek told the NZZ am Sonntag newspaper at the weekend that the U.S. tariffs could be mitigated through transfer prices, margins and the cost of the company's products.
