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.

Which is really a big loss for the industry. I ran into a guy in ripped T-shirt, sandals and shorts (I.e. your typical tech guy) and he came into the store which happened to have a Datograph Perpetual in stock. And this guy just bought it right away without a second thought and was not even pre-planned.
I am quite sure per-capita income in the Bay Area should be higher than SoCal.
