A Story of Spanish Watch Collector

Brand Watches Information Report: "New York Times" tells the story of a Spanish watch lovers. Fernandez is the manager of a telecom operator and watch enthusiasts, he used the holiday to the Bahamas tax haven buying a long-awaited watches, Rolex Explorer watch.


Rolex is the awareness of consumers watch one of the highest

Thank exchange rate, and the Bahamas, and no VAT, he can buy this $ 4453 list price than the retail price of his home 21% cheaper.

Mainland China to Hong Kong consumers are probably more love, not only cheaper price, but the exchange rate is also low.

Aftershocks of the economic crisis and anxiety, Rolex watches and other luxury brands are counting the same as Fernandez consumers willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy their products. However, these watches have to face a business problem is much easier to travel and consumers can easily lower the purchase price of products overseas under the premise that they are trying to unify the global price of the product.

It is said that the price of luxury goods in Hong Kong is about to rise, as travel from mainland China who go shopping, maybe not so crazy. Customs tariffs under the provisions of 5000 yuan, contests might really be implemented.


Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph watch is 45.5 mm

Almost all manufacturers of international brands in different markets should be the exchange rate and tax system in the efforts. High-end watches and easy long-distance travel, making thousands of miles to buy a watch is a temptation to become.

"This is a very strong liquidity of the market, if there are any differences in price, the watch can be transferred to other places as soon as possible," a watch group chief financial officer, where his Swiss company that sold more than 25,000 last year block watches. "Newspapers may be the price difference is not synchronized, but no one will wait until the next day to buy a newspaper in another country."

Consistent with the price of failure can say "great harm to the brand." Chairman EmmanuelVuille high Bo Fusi said the company is known to create complicated watches, annual production of about 100 watches, the cheapest to 30 million Swiss francs, almost 32 million pre-tax dollars.

"I know for consumers, the ideal situation is in Paris, we spotted a piece of the watch, and then went to Dubai or London to see how the price like." Vuille President said, "But if consumers really in a Some places that sell cheaper form, we will be top-heavy. "

So, the guests always look at mainland China prices Hong Kong, and then decided to buy, or we can also find online purchasing, 1000 yuan even cheaper 也好. This year, the money is not easy, even for people who can afford luxury goods is the same.

Watch industry are increasingly dependent on Asian tourists, especially Chinese consumers. U.S. watch retailer Tourneau JamesSeuss chairman, said his company over the past 18 months, from Japan, Korea, Chinese consumers, especially double-digit profit growth. He said that China's consumers "usually know what they buy." Today, several major cities in Switzerland, the use of Chinese identity and the staff of the watch shop more and more.

Retailers say the watch collectors are also very satisfied with every purchase at the lowest price to the product.

"We rarely investigate the matter to stimulate consumption, instead, we are more concerned about the buyer's market, consumers can travel from the network and frequent price difference to get information." Retailer Asprey says.

This change not only in the perception of Chinese buyers who have embodied.

For example, thanks to the relative weakness of the pound, last year, "Asprey sold to consumers, a large number of Swiss watches, which in our history is the first time."

Merchants found that customers are often willing to accept such a situation: Some people will through special channels to get the same price of luxury goods, for example, and vendors have a close friendship relations. However, "If this became a well known fact that the brand will suffer a great blow." He said.

Therefore, the watch company will be more frequent than before the price correction. Of course, there are price cuts price adjustment as in the case of Japan. Japan after the earthquake, consumer downturn, no tourists, no price is not better than everyone. For example, prices for watches of Hong Kong rose to close to mainland China prices. In the past, people love to go to Hong Kong at Lo Wu crossing buy a watch, a watch will be a few thousand dollars or even several million difference.

"If a customer tried to get from other places cheaper, no one will feel comforwatch."

The luxury watch industry, to know the price in Switzerland to deal with differences in production costs may have to calculate many other factors. Switzerland has a high income level, but also a paradise for investors, in the past year, the Swiss franc can be dollars, euros to compete.

January, the world's largest watchmaker Swatch Group, the chairman of a small Hayek severely criticized the "speculators" that is, those who pushed Swiss banks and investment funds. He asked the Swiss National Bank act of interference in the currency devaluation and avoid major Swiss jobs be lost. In this mountainous country, manufacturing in addition to the watch, but also to find out what? Chocolate! But certainly not watch to make money.

However, the watch manufacturers, but very firm, even if other countries have the expertise, brand and market efficiency, the strong Swiss franc is not able to persuade them to products out of Switzerland. And, like other exporters, they use a lot of currency hedging instruments to offset and offset the business generated in the process of price increases.

For now, some brands have frankly stated their chairman's goal is to strengthen price management. They will pretend to be ordinary customers, with his wife will walk into a shop, try bargaining. If you really get the discount, may have to take action to abolish the store to the agent.

Watch Collection Guide

Latest Watches News Report: Play Table has not bankrupt, but also actually be able to appreciate the collection itself, which is the envy of many people. Watch collectors circles, this kind of thing a lot. But almost all say that the success of the collector, collecting watches is mainly fun, appreciation of the hedge is a by-product.  


Collection of watches is mainly fun, the appreciation of preservation is the by-products.

In 1983, in an internal auction, a part of the British Royal Air Force surplus of IWC, MarkXII, only 120 Swiss francs to buy time. Today, this price can easily turn the table 20 times. Another example, manual winding Rolex Daytona, then sell cold; but shall table with 1 million Swiss francs in the future appreciation of space. There are one example, in 1961, the courage to buy one out of 2,200 Swiss francs enamel dial Patek Philippe 2523 World Time Table, for many lovers, be dare. But in 1989, the watch auction record was 40 million Swiss francs, almost doubled 200 times.


But even the most successful bidders may also buy a poison, because when the auction price reaches a new high, it will be lower over time. Therefore, watch collectors, and real estate investors or Impressionist paintings, antique cars and furniture, as collectors, are likely to suffer the pain of devaluation risk.

Many people in the hands of the watch has a great appreciation of space. They said, "I bought the table, get the second hand market, a few minutes to double." But he began to buy the table, simply because they need to wear one had to admire the table. He bought a lot of tables, he became the brand of VIP, in the future he will have the opportunity to buy a valuable commodity in the table.

The iron law of supply and demand rules the market. Fortunately, other than watch a collection of excellent advantage is that you can wear at any time, it can accompany you to any corner of the world. Our advice is: try not to invest in the mentality of buying tables, which may have to wear them fun to buy. From this perspective, any fluctuations in the price you are easy to bear.

Watch you buy should suit your taste type (of course, your budget). Knowledge has never been affordable, but can help you find more and more rare bargain. The most important thing is to check the goods to attract your product phase, only those who take good care of the collections in the future can be successfully shot.


Due to mechanical watches, especially high-level mechanical watches in Switzerland, has long been the pursuit of slim elegance, and the senior men's watches and more used as a social accessory, so many tables did not waterproof and shockproof performance as the indicator of choice for the design and manufacture. This resulted in the collection area, a lot of people buy a watch collection-level tennis is worn on the hand or the sauna. Do not open the cover, hard to find the watch you sweat or rain has been soaking in the water stains left, will not be able to see the rough caused by the use of "swing point" of the injury.


After a long time, the dial may fade, darken or damage, which can be refurbished. However, purists would prefer to keep these shortcomings will be refurbished table excluded. Where is the ideal place to buy a collection of tables? Auction , second-hand watch shop (Beijing Court fine and good fortune when the watch shop) or antiques row. But no matter where the depth of the inspection is necessary. To auction, and auctions must be careful of any small pieces of text. Prestigious auction houses often issue a written certificate to ensure the purity of products. They also usually qualified watchmaker cooperation.

As the oldest, never stopped the production of watches and clocks manufacturer Vacheron Constantin in Geneva the previous succession passed down the most precious ancient process and, therefore, incumbent upon these rare "saving" technology heritage and carried forward. Enamel this material can not only meet the extremely rigorous process and achieve swatch results, and can stand the test of time, not oxidized, but also for the good of the dial design adds depth and luster. Entirely by hand, each dial are made according to traditional processes, each minor parts are flawless, only a few experts can make such a fine enamel effect. Enamel to make the best effect, need to dial the fire in the nearly 800 ° C high temperature firing 5 to 7 times. In order to prevent cracks in the heating process, must have added a layer of glazed enamel layer of the lower dial. In each of the firing process, these processes may lead to rupture, or even unexpected results emerged. Grand Feu enamel technique is brought Vacheron Constantin glory for centuries, through these new watch model, Vacheron Constantin once again show the world that culminated in process.


In 2004, Vacheron Constantin launched to commemorate the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and the Chinese navigator Zheng He of the two watches. Enamel paint on the dial to the two explorers discovered area. Four years later, Vacheron Constantin, the world once again to the other two famous traveler - Marco - Polo and Christopher - Columbus tribute.




Normal enamel can not drink coffee or tea, of course, can not smoke in a word, any thing containing stimulants can not stick mouth. Hand must always remain swatch, and have full control of every action and accurate. This is the first lesson of every discipline enamel teacher's first lesson learned in the Code. Is well known that enamel process is one of the most demanding process, it is the most important discipline. Throughout history, or only the hand-painted medieval Europe, the draft lighting division skills in practice only when the enamel should be as strict division so as to comply with the rules. When the enamel Vacheron Constantin division to receive the memory of the famous explorer and launch Métiers d'Art Explorers series of instructions, they start to taper with a metal pen, only half a micron thick and 24 microns wide 22K metal, and outlined what he wanted to paint. Sometimes, he will groove with a carving knife in the crafts cut out some obvious groove, to accommodate set enamel.




Enamel Division in the production process will use a powerful amplification with binoculars, and then one by one or two made of mink oil sweep to the right on the dial on the enamel drops. Color used should follow a strict order of pre-set. Then, this craft will be put into a 700 to 800 ℃ of the kilns in the sintering. Cooling and then polished, and sometimes use the diamond to polish. Each have to make several crafts glazed, sintering, polished and polished, to do the dial up to 30 times each. Sintering time used in the light of the type and amount of enamel may be, and must bring Niede accurate, so enamel Carpenter often not easily tell others the sintering time. In the final stage, the enamel artisans will craft a layer of transparent coated with flux, and then into the kiln temperature of 900 ℃ burn once more. After cooling, the dial need to grind and polish after the last time before they handed over to watch assembly member assembly. Long and rigorous process of making really distracting, and enamel are also easily broken. When it left the kiln, in the cooling process may be due to sudden changes in temperature, fragmentation, and this will enamel division wasted countless hours spent before and efforts. Therefore, the process heat must be very slow, careful and regular manner.
