Answering The Question Of Who watches-dealer Works For
If you are someone that likes watches, possibly buys watches, and are reading this with your "consumer hat" on, then you are who watches-dealer works for. Why do I feel the need to say this? That is a good question and why I wrote this essay. In short, it is because the word "support" really bothered me. Sometimes, I like to offer an "inside baseball" look at what goes on behind the scenes at watches-dealer, and what it is like owning or working for a web magazine that covers watches and what is essentially the luxury industry. In addition to offering people insight about what we do, I of course have a deeper agenda and sometimes like to correct mistakes that I sometimes observe in the industry.Today, that mistake is who watches-dealer works for, and sometimes people tend to think it is for the brands.

Some rambling about American watches ......
I will be stating some ideas or "facts" as far as I have been able to figure out .......the general feeling is that American Pocket Watches especial in the 19th and early 20th centuries were far and away superior to Swiss PWs .....Now it's when you get into the wrist watches starting from about the 20s or so .......my impression is that while the Swiss have several small watchmaker companies, it was in America that the giants of cutting edge new designs, both in the movements and the style ( case and dial) were watches to reckon with ............companies like Hamilton, Bulova, Elgin, Benrus, & Waltham (who did I forget) were putting out huge numbers of high quality multi-jeweled watches with great designs and movements so sound, that many are still running today .....and pricing them so that they were available to the middle classes.......they weren't the disposable watches of today, they did represent a considerable expense to be sure, but like every house hold today has a nice

My SMP on a Hodinkee strap
