Vacheron has already taken off
Multi year wait lists

I thought the question was which is next ?
To me that brand has to make at least 10k watches a year or more otherwise it’s not taking off its just price inflation To me taking off means lots of people actually buying watches

I recently looked into VC Overseas....multi year waits and was told explicitly that by the time I get one it likely won’t have a blue dial.

Ok if defined that way, next one would be the GP Laureato. Seems the skeleton is leading the pack.

i am liking Czapek and what they are doing.... will the momentum continue, i hope so, but it will depend how they will benefit from their Antarctique traction...

tough for those small guys, but i hope they make it. getting a PP or AP is becoming impossible unless we go grey, so we need serious back ups.

Czapek Antarctique is fantastic. I am seriously considering this watch.

Friendly heads up as build is now out to Feb or March 2023. The longer you wait, the longer you'll be waiting.

My understanding is that collectors in Asia are really starting to amplify interest in Lange, for what it’s worth.

I do not believe anyone can predict this.

It become organic and can fade just as quickly (Minerva)

In some cases a manufacture cannot keep up with demand (Groenfeld)

People will chase trends like they always do. Sadly, those of us who enjoy watches get caught up.

GP is a distinct possibility, because of the Laureato (and its appeal when PP/AP/VC stainless unavailable). But it's a "next tier" vs "next best" in many ways, so remains to be seen.

Zenith wouldn't surprise me. Beautiful stuff, and people will "hear about it" because of all the Zenith Daytona chatter out there.

Tough answers to provide. Everyone on these forum tend to be well versed on brands but here are some suggestions:
AkriviA, Romain Gauthier, Urwerk, Petermann Bedat, H. Moser, and Cartier. Pieces available if you wait. For big brands: Omega is a great brand that can have available pieces.

I'd guess Parmigiani Fleurier is going to do well under Guido Terreni

He's doing well so far after leaving Bvlgari! Great insight.

I went out on a limb with this as I couldn’t try on on before purchasing it. Im extremely pleased with virtually every aspect thus far. I recommend it to anyone looking for a swimmable HH ultra thin.

Wow real compliments! I had the impression when I saw other pictures that this would have been beautiful but kind of plain … instead this picture shows an impressive depth of the watch. Great catch and great watch!

I don't think you can go wrong with either, to me it is more of a question regarding what are you looking for? The panda is going to be sportier and the PF a little more refined and dressy. I've seen the black dial tondagraph in person and it is really well finished. I haven't see the PF chronograph, but I have a feeling that the blue is special.

Tough call the white pops but the new one has an integrated movement and is 1.3 mm thinner. I think that would at least require me to try it on.

That said man that split seconds in platinum they did is the ticket. I can’t afford it but wow.

Agree, really love his plans for the brand. Definitely worth watching.

Czapek has potential.
