Digital Luxury Group Intelligence, which tracks consumer interest by tallying online searches, has found that while interest in couture brands (including Bulgari, Cartier, Chanel, Chaumet, Chopard, Dior, Harry Winston, Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Piaget, Ralph Lauren, Tiffany and Van Cleef & Arpels) increased 4 percent from 2013 to 2014, that was significantly less than the 23 percent increase in searches for niche haute horlogerie brands (including Audemars Piguet, Franck Muller, Jaeger-LeCoultre, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin).
