Despite Poor Economic Conditions Why 2014 Saw Slight Increases In Swiss Watch Sales
via fhs.chCoverage of new watches and offering advice on how to better appreciate watches is incomplete without talking about the health and movement of the watch industry overall. 2014 was a really rough year for many markets, yet some luxury product makers saw record numbers in 2014. How does one explain this apparent contradiction? watches-dealer will republish a letter (below) sent to us by colleague and luxury industry economic consultant Mr. Frank Muller (not to be confused with the watchmaker Franck Muller) out of Dresden, Germany. Normally, we would offer his findings in our own words, but we couldn't really say it more succinctly, so we thank Mr. Muller for his permission. You can learn more or contact him via his consultancy The Bridge To Luxury.The answer whether in 2014 the glass of wine was half full or half empty for the luxury industry is a moot point.

Newbie questions on a Superocean 42
Long time no post but I figured this deserved a return to the forum!I walked into my watchmaker's store to check on a Panerai build I'm having him do and saw something I never thought would ever sing to me - a Breitling Colt Superocean 42. It's clean and good looking and I'm in need of a diver (sold my last one to a friend). However, I know very lil on Breitlings so a few questions came up.Do Superocean 42s come with a bracelet?

Does this seem like a good deal? He's been the most standup businessman I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with, but it's still worth asking the questions to the lot of you.The certificate states it was originally purchased in 10/2013. My watchmaker received it as part of a trade.Anything else I should know about the model? I have it for a few weeks on loan from him until I decide

"The Holy Trinity" - SD43/SKYD/DAYTONA
Hello gang SD43 is back at home! I'm so happy to get it back , but my collection paid high price for .. I loose 2 perfect watches - Hulk and EX2 WD but I will return them more easily in the collection than the SD43..decision was very difficult, but I make a move because I miss SD43 a lot ..now I'm fine and have perfect three (well , OK, four, 16700 is in the bank case ) Rolex watches and that's it for a while.. here is my Trinity as you can see , I'm not a fan of CPL bracelet .. I wear all my watches on rubber straps , love them and love perlon straps too... and since I got Superjubilee , Daytona is my favorite dress watch .. best regards from Cro Denis
