The import of hand-wound wrist-watches with base metal cases to Japan is projected to grow consistently from 2024 to 2028, with values increasing from $172.69 million in 2024 to $205.5 million by 2028. This growth indicates a steady year-on-year increase, reflecting a continuing demand in the Japanese market. Unfortunately, data for 2023 is missing, but the projections suggest a relatively stable demand and potential rejuvenation of interest in traditional wrist-watches.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer preference from traditional to smartwatches, which might impact imports.
Economic factors in Japan that could affect luxury goods spending.
Potential impact of new technology and designs on hand-wound wrist-watch popularity.
