A Dutch appeals court ruled on Tuesday that Swatch Group (>> The Swatch Group SA) deserves compensation in a row with U.S. luxury goods maker Tiffany over a failed watch venture.
Tiffany (>> Tiffany & Co.) was ordered in December 2013 to pay Swatch 402 million Swiss francs ($404.3 million) in damages over their failed joint venture to produce and market watches, but a lower Dutch court had set aside the ruling in 2015. Swatch appealed against the decision.
Swatch has now won the appeal, a spokesman for the court in Amsterdam said.
