Breitling doubles store size at Edinburgh's St James Quarter
They include signature watches 'rooted in the brand's navigational heritage' including the Superocean, Chronomat and Navitimer, housed in a refreshed store design 'in keeping with Breitling's industrial aesthetic'.
And with experiences increasingly being woven into the retail format, the store has introduced bespoke features, including a bar and pool table 'to create an enhanced client experience and environment to experience the brand's full collection'.
Breitling rejoins St James Quarter's other jewellery retailers, including Goldsmiths, owned by Watches of Switzerland, which runs the Breitling store too.
Craig Bolton, president of the Watches of Switzerland Group UK & Europe, said: 'The group has a rich history of long-standing, prestigious brand partnerships, and we are delighted to be partnering with Breitling in opening the expanded boutique in St James Quarter. With a firm presence already in the city of Edinburgh, we are proud to be able to bring our clients this larger space which features a stunning exterior and interior in the brand's infamous industrial aesthetic.'
St James Quarter leasing director Chris Pyne added: 'As Edinburgh's principal retail destination, we're committed to continually elevating [our] offer. An essential element of which is to ensure that each brand is right-sized and in the right location. The upsizing of… Breitling is a great example of this process – doubling down on its presence to elevate its store experience, deliver a more extensive selection of products and meet the ever-evolving tide of consumer demand.'

Why Swatch is facing tough times
The Swatch brand is credited with having saved a Swiss watch industry that had been laid low by the so-called quartz revolution. Back in the 1970s and 1980s, these less expensive and more accurate watches from an ascendant Japan upended European mechanical watchmaking. Swatch's response? Tap into the '80s zeitgeist with colourful, low-priced designs—funky, artistic, eclectic and made for collectors along with a whole new demographic that saw them as fashion, not function. Swatch used its skyrocketing revenue to support its more staid, traditional brands while acquiring new ones. But fast forward to today, and the market's changed: phones and smartwatches have undercut low-cost watches, leaving luxury as the main engine for growth. And a new set of problems, from low sales in China to Donald Trump 's tariffs, have made matters even worse. The luxury spending slowdown in China has hurt all brands, but Swatch got hit more than most, given that 27% of its 2024 sales were attributable to the Asian nation. While the company said last month that sales data now show a possible turnaround, any recovery in China is expected to be slow. Meanwhile, Trump's radical imposition of a 39% tariff on imports from Switzerland puts high-end watch brands in a corner, since they can't raise prices much more in the current environment. Simultaneously, investors have been calling out Swatch, urging it to capitalise on the still-lucrative high-end segment. Steven Wood, founder and chief investment officer of New York-based GreenWood Investors, even mounted a campaign to win a seat on Swatch's board. He was defeated, but his intervention may underline the frustration among investors worried about the company's future. The Hayek family, which controls more than 40% of Swatch voting rights, has pushed back by saying it shouldn't just be making watches for the wealthy. To be sure, Swatch managed some mainstream success as recently as 2022, with the MoonSwatch. The quartz-driven timepiece leaned on the heritage and look of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch, an iconic watch worn on Apollo moon missions. Swatch sold more than a million of them that year, but it's struggled to generate the same sort of buzz across the rest of the group.

Used Rolexes, Pateks are bright spot in struggling watch world
The second hand market is also benefiting as record gold prices drive up the cost of new watches and shoppers look to avoid delays that can occur when seeking to buy a new model, according to Christy Davis, founder of London-based Subdial, a watch dealer and trading platform. In boutiques, high-demand new models are often tightly allocated, forcing would-be buyers to wait months or longer for delivery, while secondary platforms offer immediate access to a broader range of pieces, said Davis. The increased prices for Rolex's gold Daytona come during a boom for bullion amid tariffs and wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, while Patek Philippe's Aquanaut is outperforming the Swiss brand's hallmark Nautilus sports models, perhaps underscoring a growing trend toward restrained opulence, Davis said. 'There's definitely something around people looking for more quiet luxury these days, and the Aquanaut is that when compared with the Nautilus.' The primary watch market, by contrast, is suffering. Swiss watch exports dropped 5.6% in June, extending a year-long rout that's seen declines in shipments to the US, the biggest export market, along with Japan and Hong Kong. Watchmakers like Rolex, Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet are also contending with the consequences of a stronger Swiss franc and a broader weakness in luxury demand. Swatch Group AG — whose high-end brands include Omega and Blancpain — reported a 7.1% drop in sales in the first half of the year, which it said was 'exclusively attributable' to China, including Hong Kong and Macau. Trump's trade war has exacerbated the pain. Switzerland is reeling from the US imposition of the 39% tariff, the highest in the developed world. While that levy has now taken effect, the country is keeping up efforts to negotiate with the US, raising the prospect that it could yet change.
