LVMH Acquires Stake in Herm��s
LVMH, owner of TAG Heuer, Hublot and Zenith, has acquired 17.1% of French fashion house Herm��s for approximately $2 billion. Founded in 1837, Herm��s is perhaps best known for scarves, ties and handbags, though the company also produces a range of fashion watches, as well as fine watches in its Pi��ces d’exception line. Herm��s CEO Jean-Louis Dumas passed away on May 1, leading to speculation that the members of the founding family might be willing to sell, though the family has issued a statement confirming their desire to retain control. The family owns about 73% of the company, and Herm��s shares have doubled since May 1. The seller of the LVMH stake has not been identified. For its part, LVMH says that it does not intend to take control of the company, though many analysts believe LVMH is positioning itself for an eventual takeover.Following the LVMH announcement, Herm��s shares climbed 26.65 euros or 15% to 202.85 euros in Paris trading, valuing the company at 21.4 billion euros,

Advice on where/how to sell a Panerai
Hi AllFirst of all if I'm being honest I know very little to nothing about watches other than they tell the time and Rolex's are both good and likely out of my price range 🙂, so I apologise in advance for my ignorance and if I ask any silly questions. (Eager to learn)Hoping someone can offer me some advice on where is the best place to find a good buyer for a Panerai.I guess that eBay is a good cheap to sell resource but is there anywhere good specifically for watches or in particular Panerai'sAlso are there any potential red flags/scams to look out for in a prospective buyer?What do buyers look for when buying a Panerai? I appreciate all advice/tips.Thanks for your help.J

Is There a Particular Watch?
Is there a particular watch you always go back to? I've added watches, flipped watches, coveted watches, but I always come back to the Explorer 2. Anyone else have a watch that even in a big collection gets an outsized amount of wrist time?
