Like many luxury markets, the watch and clock industry took a massive blow to revenue ever since the COVID-19 outbreak. Economic uncertainties, lockdowns, and social distancing have all impeded activities related to watch purchasing, causing a plummet in industry. According to McKinsey analysis, global watch businesses reported revenue declines as steep as 30% in 2020, with Switzerland \u2013 a country with the biggest high-end watch market recording the steepest slump since the 2009 financial crisis[1]<\/a>[2]<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>

However, things are finally looking up for the industry. With the transformation of watch purchasing to e-commerce platforms and recovery in purchasing power driven by accumulated savings during lockdowns, the demand and potential growth for the watch and clock market are paramount.<\/p>
