Roberta Naas, a 32-year journalist in the watch industry, writes for Forbes that women’s watches are getting smaller, a trend that may offer more femininity. She cites a number of brands “unveiling petitely feminine watches, making this the first time in many decades that the trend is toward tiny.” Some pundits speculate that the driving force behind the trend is consumer taste in China.

Naas writes: “Typically, wrists are smaller and preferences in Asia tend to be for the smaller watch sizes. … Expecting this to be a big boon to business, many brands down-sized for women, despite the fact that the strong American market may still love a larger size. With the Chinese market weakened, the watches have to go somewhere, so a new trend has begun.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
