The race is on and 2015, well it’s all about the luxury watch experience. When it comes to luxury watches the experience will present an greater connection to luxury than any other industry offering in history. Defining what is an luxury watch will be the positioning advantage for every luxury watchmaker in the industry. It’s anybody’s gain at this point and for the very first time no amount of fluff publicity or paid celebrity endorsements will position a luxury watchmaker at the top. And, “well” we must admit “love it”.

While some so called luxury industry experts are advising on how-to sell luxury watches sadly much of the information and reports are misguided. So in hot pursuit to gain credibility luxury watchmakers are trying to court paid celebrity endorsements without building relationships.

First off, targeting how-to sell luxury watches can not be summed up in a trends report or predictions for 2015. Even more problematic is influence for celebrity endorsements can’t be the traditional old school methods. Luxury watch buying is a sport for the super rich and savvy “want to be” luxury shoppers (not rich but knows how-to shop rich). In fact, the luxury watch consumer just might be one of the most intelligent buyers in the marketplace.

Where do other luxury watchmakers fit in the luxury smartwatch marketplace? It’s still plenty room and is certainly at this point anybody’s gain to take the reign at the top. French luxury goods company LVMH has even made plans to launch a smartwatch under the Tag Heuer brand. Additionally, other buzz around smartwatch developments for major watchmaker brands are brewing.

The important elements that will make luxury watchmakers standout will be centered around emphasis on personalization for ultimate experiences. Winning brand ambassadors by capturing real buyers to develop genuine endorsement partnerships. Focusing on expression, quality of lifestyle enhancements through creating custom brand engagement experiences. Implement luxury content marketing strategies for targeting and actually reaching the super rich through influential luxury media outlets. Use communications that super rich hold with high authority such as exclusive email campaigns, digital magazine apps, VIP events, product education forums, and so on.
