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?

When Sales Beat Projections, You Know Wilkerson Did Its Job

There are no crystal balls when it comes to sales projections. But when Thomasville, Georgia jeweler Fran Lewis chose Wilkerson to run the retirement/going-out-of-business sale for Lewis Jewelers and More, she was pleasantly surprised to learn that even Wilkerson could one-up its own sales numbers. “Not only did we meet our goal, but we exceeded the goal that Wilkerson had given us by about 134%,” she says. After more than 40 years in the business, Lewis says she decided a few years ago to “move towards retirement.” And she was impressed by Wilkerson’s tenure in the industry. Overall, she’d recommend the company to anyone else who may be thinking it’s time to hang up their loupe. “As a full package, they’ve done a very good job and I’d definitely recommend Wilkerson.”
