    A few celebrities started wearing strange old Cartier some time ago and it totally started a new trend. These are not THAT expensive but often harder to find. And these clients dont care about watchmaking at all, its just a trend. Cartier Crash today is what Daytona and GMT and 5711 were during the covid era. Just the latest status symbol trend... I am really interested how long will this last and how it will end...

    Honest question; Why are auctions the place to determine the state of the vintage watch market? I buy vintage watches regularly and the market seems the same as it always has been, at least to me. The watches I want are no harder or less hard to get, they have just become more expensive. But everything has become more expensive, Including food. For example; the neo-vintage 16710 for sale on Adams website is a great watch and there are many of them for sale at the moment on the open market. From Dealers, forums, ebay, etc. And they get sold. And then there are more of them. It's endless. Wouldn't that suggest that the vintage market is strong? What do auctions have to do with that?
    Is it more specific to rare, 6 figure, type vintage watches? Maybe it's another world that I don't understand.

      Auctions are used to set the market price for many things. In stores they will be more expensive. Very common

      @@asburycollins9182 I was just looking at the results of a few past actions in 2022 and 2023 within the sub-50k range. Just to curb my enthusiasm. Primarily the submariner 5513 ft first and mtr first examples. Many of them aren't indicative at all of the current asking price both from dealers and private sellers. What's more, they have only slightly incrementally moved since 2021. If it's about "what people will pay" to determine the artificial asking price I don't really understand why you'd use an auction as the measuring stick for this. Especially for the majority of used items within the 10-50k range as a single "auction" is such a small pool of data compared to the global marketplace.

      @@davide8641 ​ So let's say a sub 5513 sells right now for around 18k USD privately across the globe? but then at a bunch of auctions over the course of 2024 they sell for closer to 50k (maybe some rich people decided to overpay or alcohol and ego was involved) in a year or so the global price for that same 5513 will be 50k? That's how these dictate the private market.

    Assuming they take another 10% off the seller, even at 20% BP these auction houses are making a killing. They will find a way to keep things afloat

    • @mentawatches
      @mentawatches  День назад

      You know, I used to think that as well. But these auction houses have MAJOR overhead. Just the printing of catalogs costs a fortune. Certainly in the art world, they make a killing. Not sure about the watch world. However, a lot of people get stars in their eyes when considering auctioning a watch, and think it will sell for all the money in the world, and they neglect other avenues to sell their watch…which usually could net them more money 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Cartier is one of the first wrist watchmakers. They’re Santos is a horological icon, idk what some of these comments are talking about? A Santos Caree is as timeless now as it was 60 years ago. How are you even a watch fan and dislike Cartier?

      It's a piece of art with the thin skeleton dial. As any art work, a viewer can have his/her's opinion.
      They might like it, or not. But in the end, it doesn't matter. The supply/demand will decide what its worth.
      Knowledge is key for the right assessment and just to dismiss a valuation because of one's taste is ignorance 😢
