Headsup, am keeping tabs and watch-ing space, pondering a question per below ... as Swiss watch might be BYD-ed as perhaps same going BMW / Mercedes

Q: Side quest, China watch-making probably shall surpass Swiss same, but will Swiss pricing / value crater ?
Q: Wondering whether the 'last' valuable Swiss watch will become even more valuable once Swiss workmen stops altogether in the watch-space?
Q: Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin, or Breguet, if only one really 'super duper ultra macro-compliant' watch ? Why?
Q: Thank you for identifying the "Last Swiss Watch Standing". Clear. Need to make savings so as to painlessly swap paper for platinum.
and so patek.com tagged to win

now that I have two unwearable equation-of-time machines in pouches, am anticipating delivery of a third and I expect to gentle-wear and 'grail' watch, delivery October

just swapping HK$, that which is tagged to US$, for CHF-denominated Swiss workmanship, at deep-discount to list, and booking a paper gain to list at the same instant

cannot justify listing cars and such same way, as such are far more clearly consumptions

watch different, and high fondle-value, even if through pouch

consolation prize as 2026 / 2032 / 2042 gently on-rush, before we take deep breath and dive under

am so not looking forward to the process but for curiosity about history play

shall do one family <<picture>> of the three, together, next to morning ice coffee, with ocean in background

:0)))

p.s. am also curious to see whether Manus AI correct w/r to pricing adjustment by manufacturer, otoh taking account of USA tariff on everything Swiss, primarily pharmaceutical and watches, and / but, otoh, global economy downdraft, balancing CHF re-rating. Unclear to me how it all rolls out. Should values crash, I can get a really good watch, and if not, I shall naturally cease further swaps

my thinking is confused, I know

in the meantime, also confusing me, from a veteran
