That turbocharged demand for timepieces from Audemars Piguet, Rolex and others, boosting Swiss watch exports to record levels — almost 25 billion francs ($28.5 billion) in 2022.   But now, a reckoning is coming as multiple pressures take their toll.

Some people say that the best thing you can wear is your smile, but a lot of us don't feel that way thanks to some not-so-white teeth. If you don't want to pay for expensive professional treatments and the other at-home options just didn't work for you, I highly recommend Crest 3D White Strips, specifically the Professional Effects pack. I use these a couple times a year to get major results that last for months. After trying out so many products, these are m…
