Interesting article, thanks for sharing.
Heads-up on an interesting and thought-provoking article at sjxwatches [ http://watchesbysjx.com/2019/03/cons...movements.html ]. Discussion of the role of 'conspicuous production' (new to me anyway) in adding perceived value to luxury goods.
Interesting article, thanks for sharing.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Thanks - interesting article.
Though one thing I would say - Swatch restricting ebauche sales drove the industry to look for alternatives. The marketing geniuses behind the brands found a way to upsell the benefits of in-house in this context while securing their future. Panerai exemplify this the best IMO.
Interesting link, though surprised to see no mention of the real benefit to the brands with in house movements of exclusive servicing limiting consumers choices drastically when servicing/repairs are needed.
What they did not take into account was that the move to in-house was a way for them to survive and not redefine them as haute-horology with prices to match. Not all in-house's are built alike. Many of the new in-house movements will not be here in 15 years, especially those with 7 and 9 day PR.
Interesting read, thanks.
Many thanks for posting that; doubt Id have seen it otherwise...
Interestingly put indeed.
