A representative from Chrono24 commented on the study: “It’s exciting to see the variety in the watchmaking industry at the moment, from affordable brands like Invicta to luxury brands such as Cartier. While luxury watchmakers like Rolex who have been around for over a century are popular, it’s interesting to see more recent brands like Richard Mille make the list. The global watch market is predicted to present a 5.84% compound annual growth rate from last year up until 2027, so we are keen to see what the future holds for many more watch brands and their popularity.”
The study was conducted by Chrono24, the leading marketplace for luxury watches since 2003, providing easy, safe, and reliable market access to all watch enthusiasts around the world.
