WE ASKED INDEPENDENT jewelry retailers to list their top three performing watch brands, and more than 550 responded. The top four remained unchanged from 2019: Citizen, Rolex, Bulova and Seiko, with Seiko dropping two places since last year. However, Citizen received more than double the votes that Rolex did, with 108 (compared to 43 for Rolex, 31 for Bulova and 24 for Seiko).

Question: What are the three best performing watch brands that you carry?

Thinking of Liquidating? Wilkerson’s Got You Covered

Bil Holehan, the manager of Julianna’s Fine Jewelry in Corte Madera, Calif., decided to go on to the next chapter of his life when the store’s owner and namesake told him she was set to retire. Before they left, Holehan says they decided to liquidate some of the store’s aging inventory. They chose Wilkerson for the sale. Why? “Friends had done their sales with Wilkerson and they were very satisfied,” says Holehan. He’d enthusiastically recommend Wilkerson to anyone looking to stage a liquidation or going-out-of-business sale. “There were no surprises,” he says. “They were very professional in their assessment of our store, what we could expect from the sale and they were very detailed in their projections. They were pretty much on the money.”
