Boston, MA--Retailers generating $4M or more in annual revenue posted a robust 10% increase in gross sales for November, outperforming the broader market.

Their unit decline was more modest at 5%, possibly suggesting these stores benefited from stronger traffic conversion and a more resilient luxury customer.

Notably, the watch category accounted for an impressive 28% of their total revenue for the month, an indicator that higher-volume operations continue to capitalize on brand strength, clienteling programs, and demand for premium timepieces.
