Luxury Watches

A change in how enthusiasts shop.

In 2018, the pre-owned luxury watch market was worth $18 billion, and it is estimated that the luxury watch market will grow to $30 billion by 2025. That’s a lot of “bling.”

Switzerland takes first place when examining which country makes the finest watches. Other countries like Germany, Japan, England, and the US have watchmaking centers.

In 2020 when the pandemic was in full swing, luxury retailers had a difficult time. There was a drop in Swiss watch exports. Findings from the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (FH) show that Swiss watch exports totaled just under 16.9 billion Swiss francs, a 21.8% drop from 2019. The 13.7 million units exported during the same period represent a 33.3% decline for the same period.

Some watchmakers decided to limit the number of watches they produced which then caused luxury watch prices to soar.

Luxury watch sales show resilience. New and used watch prices continue to keep pace. It is estimated that pre-owned luxury watch sales could top US$30 billion by 2025. Time will tell.

A good watch, crafted in every detail, is an investment piece. Performing category (behind sportswear) in 2020 because of their appeal as investment pieces.

There are several watch-selling platforms making it difficult for a watch buyer to know who the watch is coming from, and there is no guarantee that what they purchase is authentic.

Traditional brick-and-mortar retailers like pawnshops and jewelry stores turn to create online stores to keep their sales strong to keep up with luxury watch selling platforms.

The passion of luxury watch buyers is shifting towards online shopping. Having to be at home during the height of the pandemic forced watch enthusiasts to stay at home, allowing them to spend more time educating themselves about their favorite watches and brands and looking for value purchases.

Watch selling platforms like Watchfinder, Watchbox, and Watchmaster are expanding and pushing to keep their place in the market. Even eBay is aiming its sales at watch collectors and launching an authenticity guarantee program to target high-end watch collectors.

Rolex

There is no denying that Rolex is the most recognizable luxury watch brand. It is incredibly robust, sturdy, and reliable. Rolex redefined the term quality.

Hans Wilsdorf and Alfred Davis 1905 founded their company Wilsdorf and Davis and set their efforts to developing a precise wristwatch. In 1919 the operations were relocated to Geneva, Switzerland.

Rolex is the leading luxury watch manufacturer globally, producing over 2,000 watches daily. Each watch is handcrafted, guaranteeing a focus on quality and precision.

Watches like the Rolex Submariner, Daytona, Yacht-Master, and GMT-Master place them in the race to compete with other luxury watch manufacturers.

In 2022 Rolex released its GMT Master II, known for its two-toned bezels, and the new release is a new color combination; green and black. It is a destroy watch – a solution for lefties and righties who prefer Rolex to have the crown on the lift side of the case.

The Day-Date 40 is not only prestigious and fine but is now made in platinum and has a frosty blue dial. It is exquisite. 

Patek Philippe

May 1839 set the stage for a Genevan watchmaker’s uninterrupted quest to manufacture the finest mechanical timepieces. Patek met gifted French watchmaker Jean Adrien Philippe at the French Industrial Exposition of 1844 in Paris.

After a period as a journeyman, Philippe invented a mechanism that allowed pocket watches to be wound and set, employing a crown rather than a key. In 1845, Philippe joined the company as the technical director.

He concentrated on perfecting his keyless winding and hand-setting system that relied on a crown in the pendant of the pocket watch and was protected by French patent No. 1317 dated 1845.

1989 marked the 150th anniversary of the manufacture, Patek Philippe. To commemorate the anniversary, they developed one of the most complicated portable timepieces in the world: the Calibre 89 with 33 complications.

Patek Philippe luxury watches include the World-Timer with Moonphase Ref. 5575G and Chiming Jump Hour Ref. 5275P and the collection’s crown jewel: the Grandmaster Chime Ref. 5175R – the most complicated and most expensive Patek Philippe wristwatch ever.

In 2022 Patek Philippe released its first wrist chronograph for tenths-of-a-second short time measurements with a precise, high-performance movement. There were twelve new models released.

Audemars Piguet

Jules Louis Audemars and Edward Auguste Piguet were two young and ambitious watchmakers. They began their watchmaking journey in 1875 in their home village of Le Braussus. Inspired by the rugged region and clear skies, the two young men were inspired to press forward to craft timepieces that kept precise time and uniquely represented class and independence.

Delicate chiming, chronograph, and astronomical handcrafted watches exemplify the character of Audemars Piguet watches.

Making a name for themselves and gaining respect worldwide, Audemars Piguet’s collection includes the Royal Oak, Royal Oak Offshore, and Millenary.

There are several brands of luxury watches in addition to the three listed above, and the brand and style each have their unique qualities. Color, mechanisms, bands, and cases make it challenging to decide which one is right for you.

During the second half of 2022, Audemars Piguet will make available 41 and 34 mm Royal Oaks and Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronographs.
