BEST FROM: watches-dealer & Friends August 1, 2014
Prices of watches have been increasing steadily over the past decade, but how do they compare to, say, three or even six decades ago? Just how have they really changed? And is it really because it is due to the rising costs of materials and inflation alone? We take a closer look at historical prices of two of the most popular sports watches around today - the Submariner and Daytona from Rolex.That aside, we also investigate the recent matter regarding Bremont's new Wright Flyer watch and its supposedly in-house made BWC/01 movement. Just how "in-house" is it and what is the real story behind the whole incident?We also pay a visit to Nicholas Manousos, who successfully made a working tourbillon using a customized 3D printer. Finally, we chat with the great Walter Lange as he celebrates his 90th birthday to find out more about the beginnings and the future of one of the greatest institutions in German watchmaking, A. Lange & S?hne.1. How And Why Rolex Prices Have Increased Over TimeR
