Rather than announcing the end of the watch industry after three years of uninterrupted growth and record years, we should reflect on the positives which are the resilience that this industry has shown each time it was at risk. The start of the Geneva Watches and Wonders show was a bit tense, because the sales figures of the watch industry weren't that great recently... but not since recently, like most of the journalists seem to think. The second half of 2023 was already very challenging in terms of sell-out figures and only half of the brands featured on the Morgan Stanley x Luxeconsult Sàrl top 50 achieved growth, fifteen on the contrary had declining sales compared year-on-year. To cut a long story short, the show ended with more smiles than anyone would have expected in the first place. We saw of course a more cautious approach by most of the institutional brands and more discreet brand CEO's, but also very coherent product launches helping in times of uncertainty. The industry is coping mainly with economical and geopolitical issues that it can't influence, but at the same time it is achieving the challenge of connecting with the younger demographics, which is the main challenge for the whole luxury industry.

https://amzn.to/49ELNzB Through the Lens: Exploring the World of Spectacles. Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. Did you know that spectacles, or eyeglasses, have a fascinating history? Dating back to the 13th century, they were originally invented in Italy and made of glass or crystal. Interestingly, Benjamin Franklin is credited with inventing bifocals in the 18th century, allowing for clear vision at varying distances. Today, spectacles not only correct vision but also serve as fashion statements and technological marvels, with features like anti-glare coatings and blue light filters. From their humble beginnings to their modern innovations, spectacles continue to play a vital role in enhancing vision and style worldwide. #Manddi #Mandi #How #When #Where #Which #WhenToBuy #WhereToShop #Marketplace #Ecommerce #OnlineShopping, #Spectacles #HowToBuySpectacles #WhenToBuySpectacles #WhereToFindSpectacles #WhichPlacesToLookForSpectacles #SpectaclesMarketplace #ECommerceSpectacles #OnlineSpectacles #EyewearFashion, #StyleVision, #ChicFrames, #SunglassStatement, #OpticalElegance, #SpecsAppeal, #GlassesGame, #VisionaryStyle, #LensLuxury, #ShadesOfCool, #FashionFrames

My expertise shines in the PAM610, akin to the iconic PAM210 I proudly own. This timepiece redefines elegance with its compact cushion case, making the "big watch" both "wearable" and undeniably "stylish." In an era fixated on "sport watches," it's crucial to revisit timepiece roots – practicality and functionality. Picture a time when watches were indispensable navigational instruments. Understanding this history lets one appreciate the intricate designs of a Panerai Radiomir. https://lnkd.in/dVFqc77T

The Timeless Craft of Watchmaking: In an age where digital technology pervades every aspect of our lives, the traditional craft of watchmaking stands as a testament to the enduring value of craftsmanship, precision, and aesthetic beauty. Watches are more than just timekeeping devices; they are expressions of personal style, engineering marvels, and heirlooms that carry stories across generations. From the intricate mechanisms of mechanical watches to the sleek designs of modern smartwatches, the evolution of watchmaking reflects our changing relationship with time and technology. Yet, despite these changes, the allure of a finely crafted watch remains undiminished, symbolizing a link to the past while embracing the future. Whether you're a collector, an enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, watches remind us to value time - not just in how we measure it, but in how we experience it. In every tick, there lies a story of innovation, tradition, and the relentless pursuit of perfection. #Watchmaking #TimelessCraft #LuxuryWatches

Art and business? Some of my friends at times ask me why I post about art. Some even say no-one cares. Hold on! I would say art is also a business and art is entertwined with business. Businesses have always supported the arts - think of the art collections of business people in The Met and other museums (think of the truly stunning collections of French impressionists put together by Shchukin and Morozov) or the art collections held by banks (such as Bank Austria’s Kunstforum Wien in Vienna), luxury goods manufacturers (such as the Fondation Luis Vuitton in Paris) or FMCG (such as Nestlé’s at the Musée Jenisch in Vevey), to name but a few. Art has also been consistently used in cross-overs with branded products. Fashion is, of course, an obvious candidate: both for high-end (think of Amoaka Boafo’s recent range for Dior) and fast fashion (such as Uniqlo with Basquiat, Warhol or KAWS). However, it does not stop there… think of the Swatch watches with Chagall, Roy Lichtenstein, Miro, Basquiat or Kiki Picasso (the 1985 Kiki Picasso being a true collector item) or consider General Mills with its Monster Cereal packs designed by KAWS in a limited edition. (Great) artists and their art are also brands. They are distinct, have personality, are differentiated from the competition, are instantly recognisable and can be stretched like other great brands. My list is, of course, nowhere near complete and does not do justice to many others - such as Chanel, Pinault, etc., etc. regarding great collections. Nor is it, for sure, a decent reflection of cross-overs done, let alone of potential future ones.
