March's Friday Watches

[Wimm]

What a difference a month makes. On the 6th members were still talking about staying in hotels, attending gigs and going away for the weekend. Now we are going stir crazy indoors.

We have had some strange items masquerading as wrist wear (bog roll and even an orange) as cabin fever set in. Of more interest we have also seen members exploring the less frequented corners of their extensive collections.

March saw a total of 584 watches from 112 brands (the third month in a row we have hit that number, I am suspicious to say the least). Of those 112 , 31 made their first appearance this year including some surprisingly big names including Smith's and LIP.

Funny you should ask that, I have been trying to figure out how to easily show the weekly changes. So below is the top ten watches over the first quarter of 2020.



The top three are fairly predictable although they do share the honours of being top brand. Rolex numbers have been dropping off over the last month which I think is down to the self-isolation giving people time to look at what else is in their collection but there could be other factors. I find the huge peak on Valentine's day quite amusing.

The scrapping for the places below the top three is more interesting. Panerai hold very steady as do Timefactors and Breitling. There are a few more brands which pop in every now and then.

Always an interesting read which makes me tax my grey matter as a remember what I wore in March.

Good work.
