Earlier this month, a fan had edited the poster of the new Wicked movie to make it look more like the original poster for the popular Broadway musical show of the same name. But the star of the new Wicked movie Cynthia Erivo hit back, saying it’s the most offensive thing she’s ever seen. Was her reaction valid? Or was it an overreaction? Hongbin Jeong spills the tea.

Luxury watches are rapidly evolving from passion collectibles into a recognised alternative asset class, with the pre-owned market valued at $24.38 billion in 2023 and projected to reach $45.01 billion by 2030.

Demand is strongest across the US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, driven by rising liquidity, digital marketplaces, and a growing generation of investors who view watches as long-term wealth-building assets rather than just lifestyle statements.

Even during economic downturns, luxury watches have shown remarkable resilience. During the pandemic, their value declined only about 8%, compared to a 19% drop in the S&P 500.

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Oliver Müller, Founder of LuxeConsult, about what is driving the global surge in pre-owned luxury watches, which models and brands are considered “blue-chip” investments, and authenticity considerations are reshaping investor strategies in this dynamic market.
