Luxury watches you can buy from brand’s online store

With the COVID-19 pandemic changing the way we go about our daily routine, the e-commerce space has also evolved dramatically to keep pace. Earlier, you were only able to buy luxury watches from the official stores or retail partners, but now the situation has changed drastically. Premium watchmakers have also recognized the need of the hour to make the dramatic shift to the online space for reaching potential customers.

Even for luxury brands who were selling their watches online through third-party channels, this crisis has forced them to improve the online sale channels. Earlier you could get a great deal on a luxury watch from third party retailers because the brand’s own channel was not so strong.

Now, things have changed and there is more consistency in the pricing –whether you’re buying from a third-party dealer or directly from the brand online. So, going with the latter makes more sense and here are the ones that you can choose from.
