Welcome. I worked in luxury watch sales a few years ago, before the pandemic, but I’ve stayed plugged in and have sold quite a few watches over the last nine months.

Is your question from the perspective of an individual selling a piece, or from a store trying to do business in this evolving market?

You’d be amazed how many sales associates don’t actually know that much about what they’re selling. 10 times out of 10 I know more than the sales rep about the watches in the case. Not everyone needs to be an expert, but learning the story of a brand can help determine if a customer will connect with it.

Put the Merci on a Forstner Klip bracelet and I love it. Should mention that the bracelet shipped with spring bars that were a fraction of a millimeter too large, but I had other spring bars I was able to use. Other than that happy with the quality and the look.
