Despite Poor Economic Conditions Why 2014 Saw Slight Increases In Swiss Watch Sales
via fhs.chCoverage of new watches and offering advice on how to better appreciate watches is incomplete without talking about the health and movement of the watch industry overall. 2014 was a really rough year for many markets, yet some luxury product makers saw record numbers in 2014. How does one explain this apparent contradiction? watches-dealer will republish a letter (below) sent to us by colleague and luxury industry economic consultant Mr. Frank Muller (not to be confused with the watchmaker Franck Muller) out of Dresden, Germany. Normally, we would offer his findings in our own words, but we couldn't really say it more succinctly, so we thank Mr. Muller for his permission. You can learn more or contact him via his consultancy The Bridge To Luxury.The answer whether in 2014 the glass of wine was half full or half empty for the luxury industry is a moot point.

Have fun with your once a year experience!!!!
