Re: Is the wristwatch dead??
In Response To: Is the wristwatch dead?? ()

I think Jonathan is spot on with his comments:
While acknowledging this is the preserve of wealthy adults, Mr Scatchard says: "As younger people get older and start to have a bit more money, their attitudes will change."
A watchmaker friend of mine always says: A cheap quarzwatch goes in the bin after 5 years and a rare mechanical chronograph in the museum after 100 years !
Guess good watches are stronger today as they have ever been before...
Cheers
