How to Retail Watches in 2025 (Steven Holtzman, CD Peacock)
Q: Is it something that you think there's space for right now in the world of brands and distribution for them to be able to go to a retailer and work out terms like that where you're essentially guaranteeing or saying you'll buy back stock if it's not turning the way that they expected?
