A watch is a portable timepiece that consists of a crown, case, dial, strap, crystal, lugs, and hands and is worn around the wrist or carried in a pocket. It can also be made using precious metals, such as gold, silver and platinum, and ornamented with jewels like rubies and diamonds. At present, improving living standards and inflating disposable incomes are driving the demand for exclusive watches that add a sophisticated and elegant look to the style and personality of an individual.
Watch Market Trends:
The emerging fast fashion trend, along with the increasing adoption of premium accessories as a status symbol, represents one of the key factors contributing to the demand for handcrafted luxury watches worldwide. Apart from this, the rising adoption of smart and connected devices, coupled with the growing penetration of the internet and increasing reliance on smartphones, are positively influencing the sales of smartwatches. As these watches provide insightful information about the overall health and track nutritional intake of individuals, the increasing prevalence of chronic and lifestyle diseases is impelling the market growth. Moreover, due to the growing complexity of aircraft, luxury pilot watches are gaining traction among aviation professionals and airline pilots to assist them with mid-flight aeronautical calculations, such as wind correction angle and fuel consumption. Besides this, market players are introducing touch-sensitive tactile watches that visually impaired people can use to sense time accurately. In addition, they are offering custom-made variants in luxury boxes through online retail channels. This, in confluence with the thriving e-commerce industry, is anticipated to augment the sales of watches and strengthen the market growth in the coming years.
