In The News: Increased Demand For Gold Watches

The price of gold continues to rise to record-breaking levels.  And as gold jewellery sales have suffered in the recession, it would seem that rising prices are having an opposite effect on the gold watch market.
The latest Swiss watch export figures show that the country’s watch houses have experienced a 30% uplift in the number of gold watches being sent out. The increase in gold watch exports supported a total export growth of 19.2% in October, with the number of gold watches sold accounting for half the total increase.
Indeed, for the clients that can afford gold watches, they are a sign of wealth and a status–particularly in this market.  What’s more, gold watches for men and women are seen as an investment that holds its value.
Some watch retailers say the economic backlash has made shoppers appreciate the value of Swiss watches made out of gold even more than ever before.  They site that consumers of gold watches want their watch to last and because of this the classic styles are selling particularly well.  This is because, in these times of austerity, wearing a timepiece that exudes real value, heritage and timelessness is essential.  A gold watch in a classic silhouette that is Swiss Made will outlive its buyer and be a potential heirloom for his or her family.vedere di piu watch replica e hermes wealthcar
