Time’s a funny thing. A natural phenomenon that humans have created systems to try and measure it. Years, months, hours, seconds, milliseconds… all are our inventions to make sense of the passing of time.
Despite the imperfections of human-made inventions and gadgets to reflect the mysterious workings of the universe, we need to tell the time, because our hobbies, work schedules, sleep time – our lives – are fixed to seconds, minutes, and hours.
So it turns out that watches are extremely useful and important. And with that in mind, let’s take a look at some of the best brands and retailers that optimize their ecommerce strategies on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, the ecommerce platform of choice for high-volume companies that want the capability for multivariate and A/B testing, and the ability to provide smart and personalized experiences.
One of the world leaders in pre-owned luxury watches, WatchBox is a space to sell, buy and trade high-end watches. And it’s not only in the US where it does its business. It also has offices in Switzerland, Singapore, South Africa (that’s a lot of S countries), as well as in Hong Kong, and Dubai.
Its SFCC-fueled site enables consumers to view these wrist watches by brand or price, as well as provide useful information such as industry news and buying guides.
What a fascinating and turbulent history the Tourneau family has. After establishing a watch business in the Russian Empire, they had to flee to France during the onset of the revolution, before finally finding their feet in New York by the mid-20s.

Some of these watch retailers are timeless – well, so to speak. Timex is one such retailer, which has been manufacturing watches since 1854.

Sold in dozens of countries, Nixon is another young gun on the block, having been founded in 1997 – and coincidentally puts a focus on the youth lifestyle market.
