Bob’s Watches Is Opening a New Luxury Pre-Owned Watch Boutique at JFK
Bob’s Watches is set to launch a luxury pre-owned watch boutique at New York's JFK Airport on December 19, marking a significant first for the airport as it will be the inaugural luxury pre-owned watch retailer within a major international hub. Travelers will have the opportunity to purchase authenticated pre-owned watches from renowned brands, including Rolex, while on the go, making it convenient for those looking for last-minute gifts during the holiday season. The boutique is designed with the traveler's experience in mind, offering a curated selection of watches that are in excellent condition and easy to navigate. The demand for pre-owned luxury watches has surged, with prices for models like the Submariner and GMT-Master II seeing substantial increases over the years. According to reports, the secondary market for Rolex watches has appreciated by 550% in the last 15 years, making now an opportune time for collectors and newcomers alike to invest in these timepieces. Despite challenges such as U.S. tariffs on Swiss watches, interest in pre-owned pieces remains robust, reflecting a strong market demand that spans from seasoned collectors to first-time buyers seeking immediate availability and transparency.
