July watch data shows downward momentum

August 28, 2009

Randolph, N.J.--Watch sales for July 2009 saw an overall decline from the same month the previous year, according to new data from LGI Network.

However, the data shows that the decline continues to be smaller month by month, indicating that the downward momentum may be slowing.

The overall market declined by 20 percent on a same-store dollar basis, with $329 million worth of fine watches sold at MSRP value.

The market contracted in unit terms by 18 percent on a same-store basis, with about 394,000 units sold.

As for price points, while all ranges, from entry-level to couture, experienced declines, the $1,000 to $1,500 price range was the hardest hit for the month, LGI reports.
