Got a tip off on the below link earlier today. Seems it might have occurred on the weekend.

Not sure if this will make any real difference to the watch world at large, but its interesting what the unintended consequences of having all the collective eggs are in one basket might be in the future. Luckily, no one was hurt.

Not sure this has been posted here before. Tried to find it, so sorry if its a double posting.

Smoke and dust in a clean environment is lethal for the cleanroom
I believe it will certainly have an affect on the industry as whole unless they can immediately switch to a different facility with duplicate setup

I saw Hayek in the local news yesterday evening. He wasn't sure about the impact but told something about the other 135 facilities they own. I am pretty sure they can switch the affected production to somewhere else.
