In the latest edition of our publication, we feature Weir & Sons, a family-run business now in its fifth generation, which is broadening its reach in Dublin. This includes the opening of a new Omega boutique and the introduction of Belfast-based Nomadic Watches to the capital’s retail offering, all while maintaining the personal touch that has been a hallmark of their service for many years.

Additionally, we delve into recent research by Deloitte, which sheds light on the ongoing impact of job losses and reduced hours within the watch sector. It highlights how certain retailers and watch manufacturers, equipped with compelling value propositions, are still managing to seize opportunities despite the tough market conditions.
