3. Market Analysis and Potential

The Global Luxury Watch Market

The global luxury watch market is estimated to be worth over $50 billion, with strong growth prospects driven by increasing demand from emerging markets and a growing interest in luxury investments. The secondary market for luxury watches alone is valued at approximately $20 billion and continues to grow as more consumers turn to pre-owned watches as a form of investment.

Despite its growth, the market faces several challenges:

• Counterfeit products make up a large portion of the market, costing the industry billions of dollars annually.

• High barriers to entry for both buyers and sellers due to regulatory requirements, high fees, and limited transparency.

• Traditional payment methods often lead to slow transactions and cumbersome processes, especially for international buyers.
