A Big Change in the Watch Market
On August 7, 2025, the United States officially implemented a 39% tariff on all Swiss-made imports, including high-end luxury watches from brands like Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, and Omega.
This means that any new watch imported from Switzerland now faces a significant price increase, making them more expensive for U.S. buyers and collectors.
Why This Matters if You Own a Luxury Watch
Because new Swiss watches just became more expensive, demand for pre-owned timepieces in the U.S. is skyrocketing. Collectors, investors, and watch enthusiasts are looking for high-quality watches already in the country to avoid paying the extra cost.
This creates a golden opportunity for sellers:
- Higher resale values due to increased domestic demand
- Faster sales as buyers act before prices climb even further
- More competitive offers from dealers looking to replenish U.S. stock
