This all works now because altho the vast majority of their fans can't afford a Rolex never mind a PP, there is a whole new audience for them, the rich kids and influencers of Insta, and they need the rappers to take their cool cues from, so Pateks get known by everyone but still can only be bought by the privileged, a win win all round and the price goes to the moon.

I prefer the old days when Patek was a stealth brand without all the celebrity rapper limelight.

Sorry to break it to you seems like the rapper Rick Ross already discovered Vacheron:
"Vacheron on my wrist a year ago I didn't even know the b**** exist Quarter milli for the m******* No insurance on the m******* Ain't life a b***?" |

Only prob with that is you have to buy a Vacheron and I know very few people who find the overseas attractive.

Don't get me wrong, it's nowhere near the hype/scarcity of a 5711 or 15400. But, for VC this is a big step in a positive direction. Not sure I'm attributing this popularity to Rick Ross though...

I have my doubts. Richemont, in my opinion, mishandles some of their brands. |

There was a more than credible rumor (including people, who have no reason to lie, saying that they had seen photos) that Lange is/was planning on releasing a sports watch. But other people, who talked to the higher-ups at Lange, claim that Lange will not be rleasing a sports watch. In other words, who the hell knows。 |

Richmont would be smart to keep them going as it gives credibility to some of the other brands. You cant be a major luxury watch brand and only own the mid levels. Im not counting Cartiers super high end watchmaking as less people buy that than Lange. At least Reichmont can compete in prestige with Patek and AP with at least one brand IWC is similar to Cartier too, its a mess. they have some killer complications diluted by the mainstream offerings. At least ALS knows what they are. Come to think about it most of their brands do that. Panerai makes 6 figure complications too and 4k watches also. Drives me crazy when you have a spread that big between high end and entry level for the same brand. Makes buying a high end piece a non starter

I love the IWC big pilot for example so why would i buy a PC for way more when a BP is already considered overpriced vs their 3k watches? Its not overpriced, but their non in house entry pieces make it look that way. Rolex was smart having Tudor as a standalone brand, not Rolex light which is what reichmont does with their brands

Edit: I agree with you on the Rolex benchmark thing. I would give Cartier a pass because watches are not their main source of income (although they make some great watches). |

Hell yes. Make it steel and price it around 40-50k and you might have something. It would prob kill sales of the dato but then again I don't think they are selling enough of them anyways.

Gotta love a guy that’s just joined the forum and wants to set everyone straight by being critical and talking about a rumor that only he’s heard. Funny guy is right.
