Jaeger-LeCoultre Watches Launches New Direct-To-Consumer Strategy With Long Warranty Offer
In the watch business today, one of the most common buzzwords (terms) you’ll hear is “direct-to-consumer.” The idea is that brands need to increasingly sell their products and services directly to consumers, bypassing traditional go-betweens such as retailers and distributors. Why? In short, money. In a world where the volume of new watches sold each year cannot be anything near the fantasy projections created by unscrupulous managers a decade ago (meaning it isn’t possible for most brands to simply sell more watches), luxury makers are keen to collect as much profit as possible per sale, as well as per customer over the lifetime of their relationship with that customer. By earning more profit per watch sold, many watchmakers struggling in today’s highly competitive luxury watch market hope to create sustainable business models to carry their company to whatever tomorrow holds.Direct-to-consumer strategies require more than just access to consumers in orde

Putting an appropriately colorful bow on Watches & Wonders 2020, Parmigiani just released a novelty that is anything but subdued: the new Tonda 1950 Moonbow. Inspired by the lunar rainbow, this slim tourbillon has an aventurine dial and show-stopping rainbow bezel composed of blue, pink, orange, and yellow sapphire, rubies, tsavorites, and amethyst.
