Explained in plain English

What's the resale market?

The resale market is where pre-owned items, like luxury watches, are bought and sold. It's booming partly because younger generations are more interested in sustainable shopping and getting a good deal on high-quality items. This trend is a challenge for traditional watchmakers who prefer selling new, full-price pieces.
