Notable initiatives include elevated displays in Watches of Switzerland\u2019s US showrooms, which have bolstered demand, and active discussions for new mono-brand boutiques and shop-in-shop concepts.<\/p>\n<p>This acquisition strengthens Watches of Switzerland\u2019s foothold in luxury jewellery, a key strategic pillar, as jewellery revenue surged by 103% during the period.<\/p>\n<p>Group revenue was \u00a3785 million, up 3%, with Q2 FY25 improving to +11% in constant currency from -2% in Q1 FY25.
