Had an email today
Many of the well-known luxury manufacturers in Switzerland have decided to close their production facilities until further notice. This will reduce the availability of popular models from Patek Philippe and Rolex and will make their purchase more difficult in the future.
Didn’t they announce this a couple of weeks ago?
Well known, but people think that if they talk about Rolex, then good luck (a phone call from a dealer) will come their way.
Fun to watch (see what I did there)
Punters will be relieved to learn that the Watchfinder online shop remains open, so no real danger to the supply of essentials.
Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Someone was saying on TRF today that Rolex had asked the Swiss Government if they could re-open again. Anyways who cares, all this means I still can't buy what I want so who gives a monkey's.
The bottom is about to fall out of the luxury market anyway. There’s no point producing stock that they won’t sell quickly
I’m guessing the production of ANY non essential good made in Europe has probably stopped?
Probably switched to making hopelessly-obsolete Manley ventilators out of Platinum...
