- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the directors consider to be appropriate for the following reasons. The company meets its day-to-day working capital requirements from an intercompany loan (see note 13), together with operational cash flows and trading balances with the group headed by Bucherer Holding AG, the ultimate parent company. As a result of the above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Company, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.”
Significant events
- “On the 26th of July 2024 Bucherer Holding Limited AG, the ultimate parent company was acquired by Rolex Holding SA.”
- “On the 15th of April 2024 the company gave notice on its multi-brand concession agreement with Selfridges Oxford Street London. The company will exit this concession on 14th April 2025.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
