In a challenging environment caused by economic and geopolitical unrest, luxury brand marketers can quell the worries of affluent consumers by effectively leveraging brand history, according to the former president of Breguet U.S.
The fine watch industry has been impacted by recent uncertainty in China and Russia and the introduction of smartwatches, while the luxury sector as a whole has been affected by an unstable stock market. At Luxury FirstLook: Strategy 2016, Breguet’s brand manager discussed the state of the luxury watch market before delving into how those in the industry can use heritage-based efforts as a reflection of stability, consistency and trust (see story).
Net sales for Breguet’s parent Swatch Group fell 10.6 percent in 2016, but the company was optimistic for 2017 after positive movements in the last quarter.
