Rising Wave in the Watch Industry: Secondary Market Pricing Surges and Christie's Sets Cartier Record

While the summer heat may well make one want to hit the pause button, the watch industry is having none of it. It’s been all buzz and excitement, with key development decorating the sector’s landscape. A wave of impressive growth is washing over the secondary watch market, with prices having seen a marked increase for the third quarter running. This notable trend, which reverses years of diminishing numbers, is the first extended upswing since 2022, in what seems to be an indicator of stabilization following the post-pandemic economic turbulence.

According to insights from Morgan Stanley and WatchCharts, this healing process has affected a wide range of brands, including Longines, Patek Philippe, and Zenith. Price rises have primarily been triggered by upward trends in primary market prices, tariffs impacting U.S. watch imports, and a revived vibrancy in the pre-owned luxury watch market.
