JCK put together the top 10 list of things to be on the lookout for to up your watch or jewelry game this year:
- Limited Edition Watches (as seen at the Only Watch Auction in Monaco)
- Auctions (like the upcoming Elizabeth Taylor jewelry collection auction in December)
- Politics (if you can get someone like the First Lady to rock your styles, your way further ahead than the celebrity designers)
- Television (step aside Ice Road Truckers and LA Ink and make room for Vegas Rocks a jeweler’s story)
- Diamonds (uproar over the Zimbabwe Marange diamonds has brought the Kimberley Process under new scrutiny)
- De Beers (is relocating to Botswana)
- Celebrities (If Lady Gaga can get diamonds on her incisors, why can’t you?)
- Demographics (be aware of how they are changing as the affluent middle class disappears up or down 0n the money spectrum)
- Bourses (uproar in the Diamond Dealers Club in New York might affect your business too)
- Stats (they’ll help you gauge the market and better meet the needs of your customers)
