The inquiry centers on retail pricing adjustments implemented across 16 brands, including Omega, Harry Winston, Blancpain, Longines, Tissot, and Hamilton. Following the implementation of import levies in early 2025 under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, many retailers passed these costs directly to buyers. However, the legal landscape shifted on February 20, 2026, when the Supreme Court invalidated the tariff orders, creating a path for importers to recoup those duties from the federal government.
Edelson Lechtzin LLP is now examining if the company pocketed a potential double recovery: collecting higher prices from customers while also reclaiming those same tariff payments from the U.S. Treasury. Attorneys are currently gathering information from consumers who purchased these luxury goods during the period the now-defunct tariffs were in effect. While no lawsuit has been officially filed, the firm is evaluating the potential for litigation to address what it describes as a consumer windfall at the expense of retail buyers.
