An interesting read... it surprised me that the US was only the second biggest market - I would have assumed even relatively small percentage sales there would mean greater unit sales than here.

Re: USA Showroom Now Open
Kip,
I'm curious as to how the opening of the show room will affect prices im the US?
Will watches be hot with customs fees more often now? I know NH currently had no sales tax but do toy see any potential implications in the future with CW having to start collecting sales tax on watches sold on the US?

If you look at the map of second hand sales - indicative, though not 100% accurate (you need sales of new to be able to sell second hand): http://www.watchroll.com/map.php there is a vast difference between the UK and USA...Cirrus wrote:An interesting read... it surprised me that the US was only the second biggest market - I would have assumed even relatively small percentage sales there would mean greater unit sales than here.
it will no doubt be a reflection of:
- the UK being the first market (USA in catch up)
- there being an incentive in the UK to buy from a UK brand - and there are few alternatives in the price band
- more UK-centric advertising (offline e.g. magazines)
- UK showroom
I would expect in 5 years to see a totally different pattern if CWL are serious about moving into the USA

Re: USA Showroom Now Open
Delighted that the US showroom is open and making sales. It is certainly in safe hands with Kip!
Re: USA Showroom Now Open
I will most definitely be visiting the next time I come up from Florida.
