Watches of Switzerland Group Plc shares soared the most since June after the top seller of Rolex watches in Britain saw a pickup in sales and reaffirmed its full-year financial guidance.

The stock climbed as much as 14% in London trading, paring its loss for this year to about 21%. The shares tumbled earlier in the year when it warned of weaker-than-expected sales and profit.
