A handful of brands, including an increasing proportion of independents, have to deal with a demand that is greater than the quantities that could be delivered or manufactured.

Since the most fortunate, at the expense of true enthusiasts, are ready to pay the price to avoid queuing. Thus, it is not unusual to observe a sought-after watch leaving the boutique at its price list and immediately gaining three times its value, or even much more, as soon as it leaves the door. This phenomenon is generating crazy amounts of money! And it has to be said that this &#8220;inflationary&#8221; money is completely escaping the brands, which have done all the job (design, manufacture, promotion, iconization, etc.). In fact, it is other players who are filling their pockets, in particular the major watch auction houses, or the pre-owned market
