grail piece if I ever saw one. I'd do unspeakable things for that in black and 44 (at a price under 2k).

TIL: average price of a Hublot is $27k and they're made with ETA movements.
NY Times article about the companies trying to force Swatch to continue supplying their movements to competitors.

Yeah, but apparently it's just now really being set in motion.

i like the idea, you?
it forces them to develop and be innovative. but on the other hand the cost might sky rocket (not that i can afford a hublot anywya)

Well apparently Hublot is already investing in making in-house movements (not particularly interested in one, even if I could convince myself to spend that much on a watch at this point in my life). Overall I think it makes sense for the industry as a whole, but the barrier for entry into the market will go way up. I'm not sure how many small boutique type brands are particularly interesting anyway as I'm not huge into watches, but this change will probably cause them to close/be bought up by bigger companies. IIRC, the ETA movements are being reproduced without a license by some companies as it is now so their might be crackdowns on that front too. We'll see how it affects pricing in general, especially for companies that decide to develop their own movements.

Question for everyone: if it were up to you to pick for Dior, who would you pick?

Gustavo Lins would be cool.

Yes, but a coordinating color rather than white--depending on the sweater color of course.
