Brietling Sale & other interesting industry info.


Recommended Posts

I have posted this other long vid. because it contains some very interesting info on what is happening within the watch industry. Breitling's sale it's amalgamation with "Tudor" and also the guy states that ETA are now looking for companies to buy their movements and will now will supply parts until 2020.

All very interesting CB.  It's great to here Swatch not getting it their own way for a change!

As an aside, the background that the guy was standing in front of was really weird the way it moved, it was surly computer generated?

All ETA are doing is extending the period of uncertainty within the industry now supplying parts until 2020 is fairly meaning less its not going to instil confidence in small manufactures to buy ETA movements knowing that in a short while parts will dry up other manufactures are not sitting on their hands. ETA are only playing games with the market supply movements and fend off competition from other manufacture and as soon as things are in their favour stop supplying movements again.

This is a re run of the late 70's and about time, Omegas, and Breitlings prices are just ridicules at the moment. £2,215 for a quartz Breitling Colt on rubber strap, it seems every other week Omega launch a new limited edition Speedmaster while trying to flog a dead horse, Not being quick on the smart watch uptake and relying on the far east market has really burnt these manufactures prices seem to have been driven upwards for the last 10 years by their insatiable consumption of luxury goods now thats drying up prices should be going down not up.

I hope the crisis deepens and they receive a real wake up call its long over due.

It is. And the  entertainment spin the guy used on his rant got me bored after 40 seconds :)
