Tim Cook has traveled to Japan to visit all kinds of Apple-related stores, factories, studios, and research centers. If a few days ago he revealed one of the biggest secrets of the iPhone, detailing that his company has been associated with Sony and its camera sensors for a decade, today he has done the same by talking about one of the most important strap manufacturing factories for AppleWatch.
As usual, Tim Cook has shared a series of photographs during his visit to this factory in Japan. Apparently, according to his words, it is a family business that has been operating for more than 70 years in Fukui Prefecture.

It is not the first time that Tim Cook has traveled to Japan. In fact, it is very common for Apple executives to travel to other countries in order to promote the brand and close business agreements in the factories of the most important suppliers.
For its part, the Apple Watch follows its own. Apple’s smart watch has had an annual growth of 52.9% in China, one of the main markets for wearables globally.
