Why The Swatch Group Sued Tiffany & Co. And Won About $450 Million
You may have heard that the lawsuit between the Swatch Group and Tiffany & Co. is finally over. The relationship that began in 2007 (which was meant to last for at least 20 years) ended bitterly in 2011. The "strategic alliance" was to have Tiffany & Co. partner with the Swatch Group to produce Tiffany & Co. branded timepieces. Tiffany & Co. made watches before this but wanted someone to take over that part of their business (and ideally to grow it).The first Swatch Group Tiffany & Co. watches were released in 2009 and I believe the last year they showed any new watches at Baselworld was in 2010. In 2011 the Swatch Group announced that it was going to pull out of the deal and sued Tiffany & Co., and Tiffany & Co. counter-sued. The amounts in questions were in the billions of dollars.So what happened?

Gustafsson & Sjogren Winter Nights Watch
Only 10 pieces of the Winter Night watch will be produced by the Swedish team Gustafsson & Sjogren. In a way this watch is the accumulation of everything they have been working toward. That being a totally Damascus steel case, dial, crown, and movement plate. You either love or hate the look of hand-folded and forged metal. While not something I would wear on a daily basis, I find Damascus steel to be beautiful. Pretty much everything in this watch is produced in-house at GoS. That include the large movement plate (the rest is not in-house), and most of what you see and touch. The hands and hour indicators on the dial are done in 18k white gold, while the steel case are lovingly hand-made as Gustafsson would make a blade. Price is $19,000.

After Christmas, Reduced Demand?
What do you think, has the demand for Rolex watches reduced or will it stay high for the Sports models? Is there a difference between new and used demand?
