I don't believe they want to scale production at all, so if anything, the more exposure in different markets the better for the brand, and it's performance in the secondary market as well. This is the advantage of FPJ versus Richemont owned A Lange & Sohne who are opening a lot of boutiques with the clear intention of increasing production for more profit$.

They don’t want to ramp up- that would require that they rearranged the production. FP doesn’t want to do that. He likes the setup as it is now. I also see it a mere strengthening of presence in the region. The family they are partnering with is a big retailer. They are still well below the 1000 unit mark per annum.
