If the Datora is a mall watch, I must like mall watches then.

Love your channel. Very interesting analysis, Pete. The categories you present arguably reflect my mood, or the reason why I reach for one or other of my watches on any given day. So, whilst I understand that brands might not overlap ‘luxury & premium’ or ‘prestige & connoisseur’, I think that on occasions, I do.

I don’t think Bremont is dead. Bremont still makes good watches. I am not keen on the new logo and the new Terra Nova Field watches design. But actually some people whom have seen the new design in the flesh say they are a lot nicer than on the advertising blurb . So I will wait until I actually see them. I have a Bremont S301 Supermarine and I love it. Its quality compared to CW overall is much better , but it’s what you pay for. Both brands can survive alongside each other . CW are clever at sales & outsourcing but they target 1 area of market. Bremont will do some outsourcing too but are much more in-house and use superior materials overall hence the price point .

This is the best watch content on the internet please keep it up

How did you find this watch? I happened to find one in South Africa in the late 1980s and have never seen one for sale ever again. Paul

Hope everything’s ok, Pete. We’re missing you!

Thank you for this video. I'm new to the channel and already loving it This so called ambassadors are simply well paid, well known people who just plays in commercials. I don't think there is anything wrong with it but this is why very well made watch we would pay let's say 2K we will need to spend 5K I have many watches that are in. my opinion well made but I didn't loose fortune on any of them and most of those brands are very little known to masses. Alpina is very good example how very known good quality watch is not as expensive as Oris which is spending a lots of money on advertisement and someone will need to eat the bill. I stiłl like Oris but the budget isn't there anymore...

Great analysis and very well explained! Love the example of the moonswatch; luxury is usually expensive but it doesn’t have to be. Also the Rolex / Patek / CW ads you show back up the story perfectly 👍

Obviously, SKX 007 J

Best argument so far 😂

I have one in black and I absolutely love it. bought it on the Geneva flagship store also, we were served a bottle of champagne and had an evening stroll along the shores of lake Geneva afterwards Having a press event for a new color is stupid.

🤦‍♂️ the premise of the video is boring. Everyone is entitled to an opinion but posing this opinion that it is boring is so unproductive and obtuse in thought. What’s significant about this model is that it will be literally Timeless. That’s the significance of this particular model. It has rose to the highest escoleon of its design language and maintained it with the original DNA. Not like a modern Submariner which has modern material and design language like a lacquered dial and ceramic bezel. The point is that in 50 years the monochrome will harken to the original design language of what the original intent was 70 years ago but it will still have the ability to still look relatively new based on the conditions of the piece. This is why the Speedmaster is a greater watch than the Submariner. Throughout all the years it still looks like an original. That’s the real significance of why this piece is so special. It will sit atop of all other black bays; It will be an all time GOAT in 50+ years.

What you will get is perpetual Rolex positioning as No. 1 without them meaningfully growing. Think Nike when it comes to sneakers. They've been No. 1 for years despite not grabbing huge new shares of market. Rolex is Nike is McDonalds. Anyone who thinks another brand will usurp Rolex as No. 1 is delusional.

What is cost?

Your excellent critique of the Alpina pilot's watch put me in mind of another watch brand that also provides solid, functional fliegers that seemingly 'fly' below most people's radar; Fortis. I have an F-39 Fleiger that has a design language all its own. The dial adheres to pilot watch norms (like the Alpina), but the case and bracelet scream indistinguishable.

How you doing with your Polaris? Do Video on it….? :)

Interesting analysis and I loved hearing it. Now I know why I had no interest in Breitlings in the past. This was the Schneider era. lol. The way a business is marketed to the public really does make a huge difference. I am really enjoying Kern as CEO and the direction the brand is heading.

Everything lines up on my Seiko Prospex King Samurai so I’m really not bothered at all that the crown isn’t signed! 😅

Great video. Thanks for the content

This is a very good analysis of the watch conceptual concept space. It reinforces my thesis that Rolex is an outstanding marketing company that makes a very good watch.

Own two thirty-year Breitling watches bought in the 1990s. A Shark and a Colt Ocean. Only a little has caught my eye since then until I saw this new Superocean. A bold, courageous, welcomed shift with an acknowledgement of historic DNA. A stunning watch that captures yesterday, today and tomorrow. The yellow dial Superocean with the red second-hand is breathtaking. Dates are for calendars and cell phones. Watches are about time and personality. Stunning.

I think the characterisation of enthusiasts as continually flipping and FOMO and hence the negative points you made is simplifying the alternative to the collector. What if you had the philosophy of a collector. I.e. keep the watches you buy, only buy what you like, buy with a purpose. But with the enthusiasts desire to have no overarching plan, but instead focussing on variety in your collection.

These corporate strategy videos are my favorite type of watch content. Thanks a lot for this insightful perspective.

Great review, thank you 🙂👍. Was thinking when I saw that white date wheel oh man might look better cream like the markers. Also, agree on not luming the numbers. Same with my ss chrono gmt, would make night legibility much better. But that's it: beautiful watch you have there. Oh! Also, have to disagree with Breitling moving in the "Instruments for Professionals" direction. If anything, they have been moving AWAY from that since the start of the Kerns era, which to me is unfortunate.

Top quality, but as a lover of authentic vintage, it is not for me.

This is required viewing product people, even if they're not interested in watches - great job Pete!
