I have been told by so called business experts that the watch is fast becoming obsolete. Yes obsolete.
Hang on to your watches. Esp. if they are working.
Why because they will become a valuable collector's item of historical value.
What is taking their place? The cell phone. Why wear a watch when your cell phone contains the time?
Hm, do I know you? At any rate, I think you may have missed the primary point of this post, which was to appreciate the feel and craftsmanship of a quality watch. To say that watches will become obsolete due to the cell phone's ability to display time is analogous to saying that manual transmissions in cars should have become obsolete because automatic transmissions are easier to operate. We all know that that isn't currently the case.
These so-called "business experts" need to go back and revisit their notes from all of the MBA classes they slept through; supply and demand, niche markets and S-curves; all apply here in that there will always be a demand for high-quality timepieces due to the fact that they are in what's known as a niche market (luxury), and that cell phones have pretty much already reached critical mass in terms of adoption. Thanks for your .02, though.
