In Response To: Seems to be the New Approach ()

I agree with what you say about a boring range Jeff, it’s great to see someone with a relationship with TAG Heuer like you, tell it how it is 👍 Hope they don’t put you on the naughty step 😂

I can't claim to understand it, but this seems to be the new
: approach to selling watches. if one person wants one specific
: watch, he or she can go to Bamford and draw it up . . . one like
: the Harrods LE will cost you around £7,000 if an
: "influencer" [Hodinkee, The Rake or Calibre11] or
: retailer [Harrods or Seddiqi] wants 100 to 150 watches, they
: call it a Limited Edition . . . expect the good ones to sell out
: quickly, then we see them in the after-market at nice premiums
: if a member of the public visits TAGHeuer.com or a local
: retailer, the choices for the Autavia or Carrera are much more
: limited (and much more boring) Have a look at the 10 watches in
: TAG Heuer's "Heritage" collection, here --
: https://www.tagheuer.com/en-us/watches/heritage-watch . Sad that
: a brand with the amazing heritage that we celebrate every day
: with our own collections is left with this portfolio in the year
: 2018.

: Compare with the vintage-inspired watches offered by Omega,
: Breitling and Tudor, and it gets even worse.
