As women’s demand outpaces the broader market, Las Vegas curator Aaron Klausman explains what today’s female collectors want, and how Goldbro helps them buy with confidence
LAS VEGAS — One of the most significant shifts in the luxury watch world isn’t about a single model or brand — it’s about who is buying. Women are entering the fine-watch market as collectors, investors, and enthusiasts in record numbers, and Goldbro Timepieces is helping this fast-growing group of buyers navigate their options with clarity and confidence.
The numbers tell the story. Industry trackers value the women’s luxury watch market at roughly $43.7 billion in 2026, and women’s demand is climbing faster than the market average. More telling than the size is the nature of the shift: women are increasingly buying watches for themselves, on their own terms, rather than receiving them as gifts or as one half of a matching “his-and-hers” set. Many now approach a fine timepiece the way they would a work of art or a milestone purchase — a considered expression of their own achievement and taste.
“This is one of the most exciting developments in the entire market,” said Aaron Klausman, CEO of Goldbro Timepieces. “For a long time, the industry treated women as an afterthought — smaller cases, some diamonds, and not much else. That era is ending. The women walking through our door today know exactly what they want, and they’re buying serious watches for themselves. It’s long overdue, and it’s reshaping the whole category.”
The End of the “Ladies’ Version”
Klausman notes that the change is visible in what women are actually choosing. Rather than defaulting to small, decorative pieces, many female buyers are gravitating toward versatile mid-size models — often in the 31 to 36 millimeter range — including steel sports and classic references that were never designed for one gender at all. Coveted pieces like the Rolex Lady-Datejust, colorful Oyster Perpetuals, the Cartier Tank, and even larger sports models are all drawing strong demand.
“The best watch brands have stopped making watered-down ‘women’s versions’ and started offering genuine choice,” Klausman said. “A woman today might want a 31-millimeter Datejust, or she might want a 36-millimeter steel sports watch with a screw-down crown. The point is that it’s her decision, based on her wrist and her style — not on what someone assumed she’d want.”
What Women Collectors Want — and Where They Need Guidance
As more women make significant watch purchases, Klausman says the questions they bring are sharp and practical: How should a watch fit? Which references hold their value? Is a pre-owned piece a smart way to buy? These are exactly the areas where Goldbro focuses its guidance.
“The most common thing I tell any new collector, and it applies here, is to buy what you genuinely love first, and treat resale value as a bonus rather than the reason to buy,” Klausman explained. “That said, some watches do hold or increase in value better than others — certain steel Rolex and Cartier pieces have historically been very strong. Part of our job is helping a buyer understand where those two things overlap, so she ends up with a watch she adores that also makes sound financial sense.”
Sizing, he adds, is where many first-time buyers feel uncertain. “There’s no strict rule. We often suggest starting somewhere in the 28 to 36 millimeter range for smaller wrists, but personal preference matters far more than any convention. The right size is the one that looks and feels right to the person wearing it. We help people try that judgment out rather than dictating it.”
Helping Buyers Avoid Costly Mistakes
With more buyers entering the market, Klausman is candid that the risks are the same ones that catch anyone new to fine watches — and that the right partner is the best protection. “Whether you’re a first-time buyer or a seasoned collector, the pitfalls don’t change,” he said. “Overpaying because you looked at asking prices instead of real sale data. Buying a watch that turns out to be altered or not original. Trusting paperwork instead of authenticating the watch itself. Our role is to make sure none of that happens.”
That protection is central to how Goldbro operates. Every timepiece is authenticated through hands-on, movement-level inspection and priced against real market data, and clients receive honest guidance rather than pressure. Because Goldbro buys, sells, trades, and sources, it can also support collectors as their tastes evolve over time.
“Every collector deserves to be taken seriously and guided honestly,” Klausman said. “That’s true no matter who you are. Our job isn’t to sell you a watch — it’s to earn your trust. That’s been our standard since 1895.”
