Thanks for that.
It's available online now as well - the segment on watches starts at 16:07 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000b0bv

UK sales of luxury watches have nearly doubled to £1.5 billion in the last ten years, but could the rise of so-called "smart watches" threaten that market? We examine why, in spite of new technology, many people still love a mechanical, high end luxury wrist watch.
Listened to it, nothing of much excitement.
I caught it and thought it was a fairly balanced but, inevitably, light-touch piece. Only comment I baulked at was the 'investment' one; they clearly edited out the 'if you're lucky...' qualification that must have followed.

Here's how you do it.
Have a decent amount to invest.
Buy the most desirable stuff you can afford.
At the right time (hoho) sell it for a lot more.
Repeat.
Yes I thought that when I heard it - it did allow an enthusiast or two to at least put the case and whilst I would never consider my watches an investment it is probably easier to "get lucky" than with cars etc.Quote:
