Luxury watch retailer reportedly explored acquisition interest as consolidation continues in the high-end retail market. 
Luxury retailer Watches of Switzerland has reportedly held discussions with parties interested in a potential takeover, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The reported talks come as the luxury goods sector continues to attract investor interest despite ongoing economic uncertainty and shifting consumer spending patterns. While discussions have taken place, there is no certainty that they will result in a formal acquisition offer or transaction.
