   Trying to think of things that Switzerland sells to customers outside their borders.
   
   * Chocolate ... well, that's the reputation, anyway.
   * Something called "Bain King".
   * Timepieces (mechanical watches and clocks ... they did make the jump to digital, but I think Far Eastern companies kicked their butts), but I doubt there are many customers left.
   * On-site security for governmental and religious leaders.
   * https://oec.world/en/profile/country/che/ says "The top exports of Switzerland are Gold ($59B), Packaged Medicaments ($46.2B), Blood, antisera, vaccines, toxins and cultures ($32.9B), Base Metal Watches ($13.6B), and Jewellery ($10.9B), exporting mostly to Germany ($48.1B), United States ($42.5B), United Kingdom ($24.4B), China ($21.7B), and France ($19.2B)."
