Horological Meandering

you reopened my eyes

 

First of all I would seriously love to thank you , I so love the way you build you article, report or whatever you want to call it, truly I admit I longed to continue your report word after word, line after line not because of my love for watches , but above that due to your  smooth, delicate yet simple and capturing way of writing.

 

  Again thanks, for enriching me with the history of the brand ,  and more about their delicate and dedicated way of work. This effort to create better , more improved and innovative movements which technically serves the watch making ART.

 

 Some would assume this endless effort of those brands to come out with new and better movements is a part from a strategic plan to widen there client base , which is partially true but at the same time these people are aiming to do so by serving the art they dedicated their living to.

 

  I do welcome a watch making brand capturing me as a new client or getting me to the point of loyal client by the way Carl F. Bucherer , at least these people are not fooling me by changing the color of the stitching on a strap , the straps color….. and a general color changes goes on to the watch and the name it edition X , new color combination  will be called edition Y. and the  list goes on. And what I love about them they are all LIMITID EDITIONS, sorry but what a scam.

 

 Im a true watches lover, im a true watch art taster , I do believe we've reached to a point where those tycoon brands are controlling not even the markets but the minds of people.

 

 Your report and Carl F. Bucherer  work make me ask  myself again a question I've asked several times, should I , should every real watch lover boycott those big brands , who does mass production, who charge loads of money for a time piece they spent less time working on compared to an independent or family owned brands.

 

   Im SO close to the point ill stick to independents and brands alike leaving behind and forgetting mass producing brands.
