SloveniaThe article discusses the growth of the pre-owned luxury watch market in Singapore, highlighting Times Avenue, a licensed watch dealer celebrating its fifth anniversary. As the global watch industry faces a slowdown and increased concerns about fraud in the secondary market, Times Avenue has experienced sustained growth. This is attributed to changing buyer preferences, limited supply from authorized dealers, rising gold prices affecting new watch costs, and demand for immediately available watches priced according to market conditions. Times Avenue specializes in authenticating high-end Swiss watches such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, and Cartier. It operates under strict regulations requiring customer due diligence, transaction reporting, and stock tracking. The dealer emphasizes its commitment to authenticity through in-house authentication and warranties, offering services like in-person buying, trade-ins, and consignment.
