U.S. Mechanical Watch Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Price (Entry-Level, Luxury), By End Use (Men, Women), By Distribution Channel (Online, Offline), And Segment Forecasts, 2025 - 2033
U.S. Mechanical Watch Market Size & Trends:
The U.S. mechanical watch market size was estimated at USD 13,194.3 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 19,260 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2025 to 2033. This growth can be attributed to the growing interest in luxury and collector watches, as well as the strong demand for premium mechanical timepieces.
A key ongoing trend in the U.S. mechanical watches industry is the growing popularity of vintage and heritage-inspired timepieces, with collectors and younger buyers seeking limited editions and classic designs that combine craftsmanship with status appeal.
A key factor driving the market growth is the rising demand for luxury and heritage craftsmanship. U.S. consumers increasingly value the intricate engineering, precision, and artisanal appeal of mechanical watches, which are seen as both status symbols and investment pieces. Brands with strong histories, such as Rolex, Omega, and Grand Seiko, benefit from this trend, as buyers are willing to pay premium prices for authenticity, durability, and the prestige associated with iconic models.
The second driver is the rising purchasing power of affluent and aspirational consumers, particularly among the 25-44 age group. Higher disposable incomes, coupled with a growing interest in horology, have expanded the market for mid-to-high-end mechanical watches. Younger collectors are also entering the market, motivated by social media trends, influencer endorsements, and the appeal of limited-edition or iconic releases, which has increased demand for both entry-level and premium mechanical timepieces.
According to a September 2025 American Business Times article, Millennials and Gen Z now drive over 45% of new luxury mechanical-watch purchases, drawn to vintage icons, independent makers, and pieces that reflect identity, craftsmanship, and investment value. The article also highlights how platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit are democratizing watch knowledge, helping younger buyers learn, share, and collect more confidently, fueling demand for limited editions and personalized models.
