[London = Yumae Soutaro] The Swiss watch industry is facing a difficult situation. The combination of a decline in demand in China and the strong Swiss franc has worsened the business of export-oriented watchmakers. Some companies have begun to rely on government support to temporarily lay off employees. The industry’s export figures have been hitting new record highs for the past three years, but the outlook is now looking bleak. According to the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, watch exports in September 2024 are expected to be about 2.1 billion Swiss francs (about 3…(The following is a paid version, 998 characters remaining) Nikkei MJ November 17, 2024 2:00.
You’re just a brat saying that a smartphone is fine. Wearing a watch is a proper member of society. It’s rude to your business partners, so wear one properly.
>>5 What do you mean by “in step” lol Well, for that purpose a solar radio watch for about 10,000 yen would be enough I can understand if it’s up to a few hundred thousand yen but I can’t understand a watch that costs 10 million yen.
It’s an industry that’s all about brands with no substance, so it’s no good. They don’t have the technology or reliability of Japanese products, and they don’t have the convenient features of Apple watches.
>>13 Actually, the world of high-end mechanical watches is strange. If you use quartz, the performance and price are overwhelmingly cheaper. But people still choose mechanical watches for their “taste.” They’re not industrial products, they’re handicrafts.
They say the price of luxury watches has gone down. I think I have more money than the average person, but I don’t feel like buying one. Watch battles are pointless.
Did you know that one of the elegant names for Japan is “Akitsushima – Dragonfly”? Now in Osaka, the Izumo Taisha Soviet Festival is being held in October, Kannazuki, to celebrate the gods of the Edo period at the old drugstore shopping district, the ancient Chinese Shennong clan and Yao and Shun gods, the Buddhist god Daikokuten Ebisu, and the black devil Marxist god from the Soviet era.
Wristwatches are getting bigger and bigger and they get in the way. I don’t know why anyone would want to wear such a big watch. The old, reasonably sized analog watches are the best.
When I look at the comments section of the YouTube videos of Tunnels’ watch-buying series, I often see comments like, “I didn’t know you could buy this for so cheap these days.”
The ranking of watches traded on the European watch market in 2021, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, was: 1st Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, 2nd Rolex Daytona, 3rd Rolex Submariner, 4th Seiko Spirits, 5th Rolex Explorer. I thought Spirits was amazing.
I think it’s a good idea to have one since there are places where you can’t take your smartphone out, but for me it didn’t work because it gave me a rash I tried different belt materials, too.
>Watches should be in line with the average working adult By the way, a colleague who earns three times as much as me bought a pair of high-end Italian shoes second-hand. New ones cost 100,000 yen, second-hand ones cost 70,000 yen That was about 20 years ago, but I wonder if new ones cost 200,000 yen and second-hand ones cost 150,000 yen now Cheap? I prioritize comfort when it comes to shoes, so I don’t feel like paying 100,000 or 200,000 yen for something that looks good Even now, you should be able to buy comfortable shoes for around 20,000 yen.
