9102.29.60 - Other

This HTS category, 9102.29.60, encompasses "Other" wrist watches that are not already specified under preceding subheadings within heading 9102. These watches are characterized by their movement containing more than 17 jewels, distinguishing them from timepieces with fewer jewels. The inclusion of a stop-watch facility does not preclude classification here, provided other criteria are met.

This specific classification differentiates itself from its sibling, 9102.29.55, which covers wrist watches with straps, bands, or bracelets made of textile materials or base metals (including gold- or silver-plated). Category 9102.29.60, therefore, applies to wrist watches with over 17 jewels where the wristband or bracelet material does not fall under the explicit description of the sibling category. This might include watches with bands or bracelets made of precious metals not specifically plated base metal, leather, or other materials not specified in 9102.29.55.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The primary classification criteria for goods falling under 9102.29.60 are the type of watch (wrist watch), the number of jewels in the movement (over 17), and the material of the strap, band, or bracelet, which must not be textile or base metal (whether or not plated). Importers should carefully examine the material of the watch's attachment to ensure correct classification, especially when dealing with timepieces that have over 17 jewels in their mechanism.
