This is a solid article from Forbes in May of 2018 that explains the Swiss Watch Market in the USA.

It fully describes the grey market and the ongoing problems that AD's have with their parent companies.

Worth the read.

Thanks for sharing Kent. There’s quite a lot of content to digest there.

Thanks, excellent article

It seems that the industry is creating their own demise and that is sad.

what a great read. Very interesting perspective on how the Swiss companies do not promote execs from the (marketed) country. Wonder what the statistics are on that. Also, very hard to get a long term perspective given the internet's fundamental change in purchasing/consumer information power in a relatively short time frame. I suspect the watch industry, like my own legal profession, spends too much time gazing into the rear view mirror and not the windshield.
