Would agree about the year thing,its a bit like asking how long is a piece of string. And around 2006 Rolex had roughly 3500 employees in total employed in the whole of the Rolex empire in Switzerland.Now Rolex now make 900000 plus watches a year so do the sums,and Switzerland has one of the highest public holidays in the world.Would think if say half the workforce was in direct production of the actual watches,there must be still a lot of automated massed produced production.
