Concord C1 Eternal Gravity
Concord might have dubbed this unique piece the Time Warp. Just looking at it transports me back a few years to those giddy days of carefree spending. I¡¯m going to go out on a limb and guess that the $1.2 million C1 Eternal Gravity was not created with the U.S. market in mind. As we all know, the watch words here (pun intended) are sensible, rational, and reasonably priced. Whereever you live, the one-of-a-kind C1 Eternal Gravity lays down some serious numbers. The case measures 48.5 mm in diameter and 18.5mm thick. The sapphire crystal is 3.3mm thick. Then there are the gemstones. The 18K white gold case is set with 227 baguette-cut diamonds totaling 20.17 carats. The dial adds a further 100 baguette-cut diamonds totaling 1.40 carats and 34 carnelians totaling 1.88 carats. The crown alone sports 26 baguette-cut diamonds weighing 1.30 carats. All together, the C1 Eternal Gravity puts an impressive 403 stones totaling 25.31 carats on your wrist.Inside the ice palace resides the hand-wou

Counterfeiting goods is OK according to EU and British expert!
Counterfeiting goods is OK according to EU and British expert!This very morning I spilled my cup of tea when I read through an article published by the British quality daily Telegraph.The comments by Professor David Wall, one of the authors of the EU funded study, are simply and plainly dangerous. Our societies are based upon the guarantee of property and its ownership by the forces of the state. That is pretty much the first of the fundamentals of our culture. Whether this property is intellectual or physical does not make any difference whatsoever.Today, it is actively encouraging the counterfeiting of goods; tomorrow it is actual confiscation of the fruits of human endeavours by the chosen few like Mr. Wall.I will never, ever consent counterfeiting any item and I do not stand corrected on that one! I can only urge companies braving the challenges of counterfeited goods not to pay any VAT or other taxes anymore. It is simply not in their interest to finance any state acting in the wa

Are we as a community too focused on value retention?
With what seems like about 1/3rd of the most recent threads being about whether X will hold its value, whether X will drop or increase in value, I've started to wonder as a community, have we become too hyper focused on value retention at the expense of our enjoyment of our watches, and other pieces we may like, but won't buy because we will take a bath on them.Plenty of things we enjoy in this world lose some (or all) of their value once enjoyed. Cars are a good example. Furniture, clothes, etc., all of that stuff practically plummets once used even one time. But we buy them because we enjoy (or need) them. And why should watches be any different? Why are we as a community seemingly so fearful of losing even a penny on what we pay for watch? Yes, I get that they are a luxury good, and that it's not a great feeling to lose money on something we've shelled out dearly for, but again, there's lots of luxuries where we spend money, enjoy thoroughly and have no residual value to show at the
