my very distant relatives make watches.

one distant cousin makes ruby watch bearing jewels

The farm from which my great great great grandfather was chased in 1854 is also a vineyard and produces grapes for white wine

I forgot one other thing.....

There is a Swiss company that bought the Tennessee technology for machines that grade cotton. They still have a facility in Tennessee and others in Switzerland. They are the standard for cotton grading technology.

Then there is Nestle....... global groceries

Count other people’s money...oh wait that’s in banking. A lot of companies are headquartered there. Other people are in the hospitality industry, since it is a nice country to visit.
