Watches of Switzerland shares plummeted 28% on Thursday morning at 08:15 London time, after the luxury watch retailer cut its guidance for the 2024 fiscal year.

"Despite a positive start to the early part of Q3 FY24, WOSG then experienced a volatile trading performance in the run-up to and beyond Christmas, as the challenging macro-economic conditions impacted consumer spending in the luxury retail sector," the company said in a trading update.

"We now expect these challenging conditions to remain for the balance of our fiscal year."
