Luxury watch prices are moderating on the secondary market, but retailers like Watches of Switzerland see demand continuing to outpace supply.
Revenue in the US grew 14%, the group said, but revenue in the UK and Europe fell 4% amid ‘challenging macroeconomic conditions’.
(Reuters) -Watches of Switzerland forecast higher revenues in its new financial year, sending shares in the luxury retailer up as much as 19% on Thursday following a tough time for the industry. Luxury groups including Burberry, LVMH and Kering have reported difficult trading conditions amid sticky inflation and a weak Chinese market. "Following the more challenging trading conditions of FY24, we are cautiously optimistic about trading in FY25," Watches of Switzerland said in a statement.
