☆ Watches of Switzerland shares plunge by a quarter after Rolex buys retailer Bucherer
  + stars: | 2023-08-25 | by ( Elliot Smith | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
A tray of Rolex watches are seen on a dealer's stand at the London Watch Show on March 19, 2022 in London, England. The Watches of Switzerland Group lost a quarter of its value on Friday morning, heading for the stock's worst day ever, after luxury watchmaker Rolex announced a deal to buy watch retailer Bucherer. Rolex said the acquisition for an undisclosed sum followed the decision of Bucherer owner Jorg Bucherer — the 86-year-old grandson of founder Carl Bucherer — to sell the business in the absence of any direct descendants to take the reins. In a subsequent statement on Friday, Watches of Switzerland attempted to soothe apparent market concerns that Bucherer, the world's largest luxury watch retailer, will seize more market share through its tie-up with the iconic brand. Watches of Switzerland insisted the acquisition was solely about succession planning for Bucherer and that Rolex — which is breaking with its modus operandi of acting solely as a manufacturer — is not making a "strategic move" into the retail market.

☆ Rolex is discontinuing its $9,300 'mad scientist' Milgauss watch — and now some resellers are listing it for over $13,000
  + stars: | 2023-03-28 | by ( Dominick Reuter | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Rolex has quietly discontinued one of its professional watches, the magnetic field-resistant Milgauss. Bob's Watches CEO Paul Altieri told Insider he's holding off selling until prices find a new steady state. The original version was worn by the scientists at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Geneva, Rolex says. It even ranks near last place among the 16 Rolex models tracked on the site. Of course, Rolex could resurrect the Milgauss in a few years, but until it does, mad scientists will have to content themselves with a pre-owned model.
