In recent years, the theft of luxury watches has become a prevalent issue, with over £1 billion worth of these high-value items reported stolen or missing. This alarming trend, as highlighted by Sky News, underscores the crucial need for robust asset protection and private security solutions like those offered by Pegasus Risk Solutions.
With nearly 80,000 watches reported stolen or missing, according to The Watch Register, the surge in thefts is not just a statistic—it’s a wake-up call for individuals and businesses alike. These thefts are not just random acts; they are often targeted and planned by sophisticated criminal networks attracted to the high value and prestige of luxury timepieces.
This situation is further compounded by the soaring demand for second-hand luxury watches, which has nearly doubled the value of premium pieces in just a few years. Among these, Rolex watches, accounting for 44% of the total stolen watches, have become a prime target for thieves.
