As is so often our habit, I fear that we are being overly analytical . . . the ebbs and flows between BMW and Audi are interesting, and with a fine pencil we can diagram it.

But I want to see a really fine, high-end, high-quality product (or entire brand) that became really awful, and never recovered (to this day).

Come on guys . . . I am writing a review of the Cal 1887 Carrera, for International Watch magazine, and this is your chance to inspire a sentence (or two)!!

Thanks in advance!!

: Id say BMW are successful if volume is the measure but their brand

: values" would seem to back this up.
