You are the first press to talk about the insane price increment of watches at this Watches and Wonder 2024, and I appreciate your statement that might hurt many watch companies.

[@uleertel]

it seems lastly all watch reviewers with some kind of sanity is really feeling price increases. Not sure the brands will care unless there is a big crash of the market. High end brands are targeting the riches so I don't think they care but entry and mid level brands should be careful.
