-- The specialized luxury watch marketplace has expanded its trade-in program to support evolving collector behavior driven by economic pressures and investment-focused strategies. The enhanced service responds to a growing shift from traditional "buy and hold" practices to dynamic portfolio rotation, as collectors prioritize liquidity, timing, and market performance.

The change aligns with broader shifts in collector behavior. Increasingly, clients are adopting a "wear, trade, repeat" mindset, making use of secondary market data and economic forecasts to guide acquisitions and divestments. The growth of resale-first buyers—who prioritize pricing transparency, immediate availability, and access to rare models—further supports this market realignment.
Current economic conditions, including ongoing inflation and the proposed 31% tariff on Swiss luxury imports, have accelerated reassessment activity among watch investors. With the global luxury watch market projected to reach $134.53 billion by 2032, growing at a 12.23% compound annual growth rate, collectors are repositioning portfolios to hedge against volatility and capture long-term value.
Luminated Luxury's trade-in offering focuses on high-value brands such as Rolex, Omega, Cartier, Hublot, Breitling, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Audemars Piguet. Each submission undergoes a seven-step authentication process by certified experts, with verified timepieces eligible for market-based offers and expedited payment processing. The team's goal is to meet demand for immediate liquidity and facilitate strategic repositioning within personal collections.
"Collectors today approach watches as wearable assets that can be strategically rotated to fund new acquisitions or consolidate around higher-quality pieces," a company spokesperson noted. "Our trade-in program is designed to meet this need with speed, transparency, and expert support."
