I don’t know far back but last year it was in Sept. and now in July…I checked the prices this morning and cannot believe my wg Love is more than 7K now..
Would you know how many times a year price increases are applied in Switzerland?
I am planning my next purchase early next year
How often does cartier increase prices in a year? The small juc recently went up by almost $300 cdn. My birthday is in October and thinking if to get it now, or wait till October, tax free while I vacation in Barbados.
The JUC SM in Germany went up by 50€ from 3,200 to 3,250, by 1.5%. The diamond one I believe was 4,450 and is now 4,600€.
Juc sm with diamonds when I bought it was 3950 I think. Then went to 4200ish and is now at 4550. Within 10 months. Over 10%.
Many thanks
Hopefully, I will be able to make my next purchase before another price increase!
Australia lists prices with GST (Goods & Services Tax: 10%)
I actually feel like the price increase this time around was quite reasonable. Some items (eg. Trinity line) only went up by $10-$20, and the other items (eg. LOVE/JUC) only went up by $100 so if you were unable to beat the price increase, it’s not that bad
In general, luxury goods always cost more in Australia (eg. LV, VCA)

Why's that?
Not sure may be supply/demand , import duty+ taxes are high too
I wish I knew the answer to that question but I don’t
All I know is that, even after currency conversion, we still pay more than other countries

Not an Aussie although I have family who live there, and I have been there and things are very expensive there as opposed to the USA.
I know cost of living is much higher there, but Aussies are also paid more on average for similar jobs in the US, and shipping to Australia is an insane amount compared to shipping items elsewhere in the world.
Here is a good article that might explain a few reasons why in case you are interested:
Why is everything in Australia SO expensive? | The New Daily
Anyone who has travelled overseas, or shopped online, will have first-hand knowledge of just how much more Australians pay for everything from electronics to cosmetics. But why, exactly, is this the case?
thenewdaily.com.au
Some key points:
"But part of the reason that Australians pay higher prices on retail goods can be explained by our distance from the rest of the world, Mr Eslake said.
Transport costs, and the need to stock greater quantities of products in case they run out, are both factors that drive up the price of cosmetics, colognes and many other foreign-made products."
"The comparatively high hourly rates paid to Australian workers is another reason why we pay higher prices than elsewhere."
Anyway, I don't want to get too off-topic, but perhaps these are reasons why Cartier is so expensive there.
Thanks, it’s crazy as they only just decreased prices in March so I went a little crazy buying a few bracelets. Glad I did but course now I want to add more!
