US Watches and Jewelry Sales Bounce Back from Pandemic

(IDEX Online) - US sales of watches and jewelry in April were up by 176 per cent year-on-year, reflecting a robust recovery from the depths of the global pandemic. April 2020 saw total sales halved, as the first lockdowns and travel restrictions were imposed. Year-on-year sales have been steadily increasing since June 2020. In March 2021 there was a rise of almost 90 per cent, the first comparison with a full "Covid month". The figure, earlier reported as 65 per cent, has been revised up significantly based on actual through-the-till transactions rather than estimates.IDEX Online subscriber please click here to read the full report
