Is Slowing Demand For Watches In Asia Finally Causing Job Cuts At Swiss Manufactures?
While the?luxury watch fair Watches & Wonders is running at full throttle in Hong Kong, one needs to take a step back to understand how markets in China and other places around the world are affecting the watch market and causing it to adapt and evolve. Even in Hong Kong, strong?pro-democracy protests have been under way, in what some refer to as "the worst unrest since the territory's 1997 handover from Britain," according to Reuters. At the same time, news released from TAG?Heuer (the largest watch company in the LVMH luxury conglomerate) announced earlier this week it is cutting jobs in its watch manufacturing facilities. We believe that this news is strongly linked to the?slowing demand from?the "Asian watch capital," and China overall.According to official Swiss statistics, Hong Kong alone accounted for?nearly 20% of all Swiss watch exports in value, more than the USA and Germany combined ¨C and with that in mind, it is easy to see why this has been urging TAG Heuer to undertak

To Service or Not To Service - That is the question...
So, I'm pretty sure we've done this, but I can't find a poll. So - I'm starting a new one! Do you service your watches on the manufactures recommended schedules (or relatively close to their recommended schedules); do you wait for a longer period of time but still before an issue (no matter how large or small) pops up; or do you wait until the watch is working outside it's norm?Many people say an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. But does it really apply?? Does waiting 2 or even 3 times the recommended schedule really cost you 2 or 3 times the cost? Or is it a wash?What do you do??????

Has anybody downsized to 42mm?
My 44mm PAM 233 only comes out of the safe every couple of weeks. I had a 40mm PAM 48 for 8 years until my wife claimed it. For the past 6 years I've had a succession of 44mm Luminors (177->390->112->233). 233 is a great reference but now I'm not sure after all this time whether I'm burned out on the brand or just the size of the watch. Enter the 42mm Radiomir 1940 PAM 574. I like the look (aside from the green strap which I'd switch out immediately) & the thinner profile seems perfect. Spring bars on a PAM still seem odd to me, but unlike the little screws on the base models I can swap out the strap without scratching the lugs. I've never been a fan of the tan lume of the 512-- my 390 was a quick flip for that reason.I'll post a pic when I get a chance. Has anybody else downsized? How did it work out?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
