I agree
The rise of independents is a sign of a healthy industry, which is great, but it feels like the independents are leaving a huge gap in the market in the "attainable luxury" category, while saturating the ultra high end, which is a strategy that automatically alienates the vast majority of watch enthusiasts. Why not make a JLC and IWC competitor instead of the 500th iteration of the same boutique brand concept?

I guess I'm voting against the tide but the movement looks excessive to me
Complexity for complexity's sake is not a virtue in my book. Does all that incomprehensible machinery improve performance? I do agree we have more watches entering the market than the market needs... will dreams be crushed and "independent watchmaker" fal...
