9101.29.50 - With movement valued over $15 each

This HTS classification, 9101.29.50, pertains to wrist watches, pocket watches, and other watches that incorporate a movement valued at more than $15 USD each. These timepieces are characterized by their case being constructed from precious metal or metal clad with precious metal. Within the broader category of "Other wrist watches, whether or not incorporating a stop watch facility," this specific subheading focuses on those timepieces where the intrinsic value of the watch's internal mechanism (the movement) exceeds the $15 threshold.

The key differentiator for this classification lies in the valuation of the movement. It is distinct from its sibling category, "With movement valued not over $15 each," which covers watches with a less valuable movement. This distinction is important for duty assessment, as the value of the movement can influence tariff rates. The "Other" designation at this level signifies that these watches do not fall into more specific subcategories based on jewel count or other differentiating features, but their value places them here.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification at this level is determined by the combination of the case material (precious metal or clad precious metal), the type of watch (wrist, pocket, etc.), whether it includes a stopwatch function, and the critical criterion of the movement's value exceeding $15. Examples would include high-end luxury watches with intricate movements encased in gold or platinum, where the internal mechanism is a significant contributor to the overall cost.
