Patek price cut - impact on other brands?

[nnb203]

When patek cut prices a few months ago, did the other Swiss brands follow suit? Ap, breguet, jlc?

I know Lange did not. but I was at an AD a few days ago and he said while they haven't cut price, he is hearing that Lange might throw in deployant or do something to price more competitively with patek/Swiss brands but still were deciding how to respond.

Other than Lange, the other Richemont brands reduced price.

I love it when the market becomes ore competitive. This drives quality and value. Yay us! The customer wins.

If Lange includes the deployment as a free add, that would be great news!

I don't think Rolex decreased pricing in the US or UK.

In the UK, most Swiss watch brands did not lower their prices, only Patek and maybe one other brand that I can't remember off hand.

I have been looking at a JLC to ad a bit of variety, and from what I can see, although the price may have reduced the model that I was looking at has moved from a deployant clasp to a buckle. I am not sufficiently expert to know whether this coincided with the price cut but I have my suspicions. If so, it was in truth no price cut at all.
