Tell us: How are your watch sales?

April 22, 2009

Similar Stories | Topics

New York--For the past several years, the watch business was moving at top speed, with Swiss brands, especially, barely able to keep up with the demand for complicated mechanical watches.

But this year, some of the biggest watch conglomerates have noted a slowdown in the United States and elsewhere, as the recession has spread around the globe.  But which price points, exactly, are being affected, and are timepiece margins holding up?
 
National Jeweler's Product Panel surveys are designed to answer questions such as these and to provide retail readers with valuable jewelry product data that allows them to gauge how they are doing compared with their peers. Through open-ended questions, panelists also share anecdotal information, including selling and merchandising tactics that work and don't work.

If you are a retail jeweler and you sell watches, we invite you to take this month's survey, which you can do confidentially. You can find the full results in our May 16 issue.

To take the survey, go to the NJ Survey Panel: Watches.

If you would like to join our product panel in the future, please e-mail National Jeweler Executive Editor Teresa Novellino, tnovellino@nationaljeweler.com, and we will add you to the list.
