Commentary on Richemont’s Watch finder operation.
Resale is becoming a key element in the strategy of luxury groups. The secondary market for luxury goods is now a playground that the major houses no longer hesitate to invest in.

Our analysis is that this trend towards resale is set to accelerate.
