Panerai, Hublot, Omega, Breitling...etc all have done this and the overproduction leads to sell offs, value depreciation and brand erosion.
This is exactly how luxury brands fail in the current market.
They need to stop and offer "less" otherwise the market will punish them with indifference.

The increase in number of references has been met with a negative reaction...that's just here, imagine what the market will think.
I cannot fathom why these brands do not understand what the market truly wants. It is very clear, but these brands continue to deflate themselves by overproducing and throwing more and more options at the buyer... 
The luxury market does not want more options!!!! |
I agree with you on all points....however, this is assuming that Grand Seiko has the same intentions and goals as these other companies. The Japanese business sense in an enigma. We can observe what they're doing, but we can only speculate why...and we'll probably be 180 degrees off with our speculation.
