I had some criticism on the previous prime time episode in the new format. I will have to reconsider. This episode was excellent. So, I think it depends much of your guest. This episode was long, very long, but it was interesting from the beginning to the end, very much thanks to your very knowledgeable guest (and his excellent English).
haha I like your approach of keeping it kind of short😂👌no really, I enjoyed this extended Primetime show very much! Please have Mr. Müller come back, veery insightful! Thank you as always for your great content and happy Holidays
Auto-makers have increased prices at similar paces as luxury houses. They have been bashed and punished by the public now and see what’s going on with groups like VW, Stellantis, Mercedes, BMW. Watch makers have put themselves in a very dangerous position and even higher-middle class collectors are or will be out of the market for a long time if prices don’t adjust.
Well with increased inequality around the world and the very high standard of living in Switzerland, it makes perfect sense that less luxury watches are being sold. Maybe if wealth was spread out more evenly, than the average folk could aspire to buy a ticket to the “temple” for $2K, as it stands today, even a middle class person will laugh at the thought of spending that much on a mechanical watch, specially when the Iwatch is much more palatable for todays fashion and needs of people. Let’s not even mention the up and coming Chinese brands, getting better and better every year, and taking a piece of the market share. The Swiss are going to have to come to terms with this realities and bring their prices down to match the reach of the majority of peoples budgets.
We are in a strange spot for the industry right now. I suspect we will see brands being bought up by the big groups again, very much like during the quartz crisis.

Very good parallel made and a bit scary with this perspective. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us.

Very nice point of view. Something to reflect on.
