The Bay Area is the wealthiest part of the US. The watch scene is pretty strong and only growing, but I agree it's underserved. Lots of high-end watch fans in big tech.
I think historically luxury watch retailers were supported by the industries where people still have to wear dress clothes (government, finance), so they have roots in those metro areas.
