U.S. Imposes 39% Tariff on Swiss Watches, Sparking Industry Outrage

The US has imposed a 39% tariff on Swiss imports, including luxury watches like Rolex and Cartier, which could lead to higher prices for new Swiss-made watches in the US and a surge in demand and prices in the pre-owned market. This tariff increase, set to take effect on August 7, may cause a significant shift in the watch market, with collectors turning to secondhand options as prices for new watches rise.

"Rolex Unveils 2024 Watch Collection: A Return to Normalcy After 'Crazy' Debuts"

Rolex's 2024 watch debuts at the Watches and Wonders trade show in Geneva signal a return to normalcy after the hype of 2023, with refreshed looks and precious metals. Key releases include a new GMT-Master II in stainless steel, a bold 18K gold Deepsea, and upscale versions of the Cosmograph Daytona. While the new models may not match the hype of last year, they are still expected to be sales hits and investments, despite a weakening secondary market. Rolex is addressing supply issues by introducing a certified pre-owned program and expanding production, but CEO Jean-Frédéric Dufour warns of challenges ahead due to a strong Swiss franc, material costs, and higher interest rates.
