4-year CEO to me is a very short stint for watch brands as their strategies tend to be longer-term. I hear rumors about a takeover by a consortium but not sure how or when that will happen?
I have earlier commented on their planned production to 500 pieces annually from a base of 120 just a few years ago; lack of interior angles and shallow anglage for their entry watches between 200k to 300k (which constitute 60% to 70% of their production); and size of their watches. Maybe it's just me but I always have other options at their equivalent prices, or maybe I simply cannot afford GF.
