In today's video I continue my thoughts on where the watch industry is going by analyzing the Swiss entry level and how some watch conglomerates are doing it better than their rivals in how they approach competition—and what they're offering to the watch enthusiast. I also share why I will likely never buy a modern watch from brands like Hamilton, Tissot, and Longines. But why would I only consider vintage offerings from these brands, which I'm still very much a fan of? In this video I also share a mini review of the new for 2023 Frederique Constant Classics Premiere (ref. FC301SWR3B6) including its positives and negatives, and why it's one of the brands I would consider buying new. Why is FC getting it right while the Swatch group is not? Join me for another free and independent video to find out. What do you think of the watches featured in this video? Please share in the comments.
