Somehow, I do not think that their listeners are Patek aficionados. They may buy their jeans, but not $25,000 mechanical watches.

didn't read all the replies but these artists well tilt the balance to the PM Nautilus not SS. they like the bling , so why 5711/1a or 5712/1a ?

Great post guys! and fun to see the different points of view. That is why we all have 2 cents. Not 50...LOL
There are "industry" people that place product. Been doing it for eons. How do you think the now-not-so-popular-anymore Panerai reached its position of demand? Stallone, Schwartzenegger, Brosnan, and on and on. Not too long ago, the Offshores were a big hit with Soccer "football" players across the pond. Who remembers when the ballplayers started dressing in style? Jordan and the bulls. The watch back then was a blinged out Breitling Super Avenger or Bentley. 15 years ago. These days it is still the same story. Brands get recognized by "celebrity" status, and others get on board. If even to interpret it with their own style. It becomes a fashion accessory. Women have their Birkens or G wagons (yes women). I see more women drive them then men. Again...great topic. thanks for letting me add my 2 cents.:) |

Steve McQueen, James Bond, and NASA raised the profile of certain watches we've all come to love.

I can't say I've ever bought a watch because of a celebrity endorsement, I love Roger to death, like we all do, he's probably the most admired sports man, indeed man, of recent times, but I still don't have a DJ41 or SkyD, and tho I am quite keen, he won't push me over, only I push me over.

the interesting thing about this is whatever is moving the needle on the nautilus and its probably a few factors, its still a small ripple effect that is massively increasing demand as there are not that many watches to begin with. For example, with Rolex's production capacity a Nautilus wouldn't be as hard to find....
This begs the question with even smaller brands like RM. Its hot right now with even smaller production and even smaller amount of buyers so its actually quite a dangerous position to be in... It only takes a few dozen people to get bored and move on and the whole thing falls apart. The Nautilus may be hyped but so is RM and id feel more secure being a nautilus owner in this market. |

Do any rappers also organise shipping? When a PP tie costs a quarter of the shipping...

Not specific to the Nautilus, but I think the London, New York and other exhibitions have raised the profile of and interest in Patek. I went to the London exhibition and it was packed. Thousands of people went. Maybe some of those decided they wanted a Patek, and a Nautilus is an obvious choice.

Patek knows how to protect their brand. Blinged out Nautili will be all the rage for the next couple years or so, then the crowd will get bored and move on to something else. Some other brand like AP or Hublot will try to aggressively capitalize on the hype and sign up a steady stream of brand ambassadors to draw the crowds their way.
As long as Patek doesn't start using brand ambassadors, they will survive the attempt to hijack their brand. |
