Managing Money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times, while orders tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too.

I think an interesting topic for a video would be which watch brands should make a watch type they haven't yet done. For me it would be Nomos making a dive watch. I think their minimalistic approach would make a perfect daily wear diver.

Agreed, however, as far as they're concerned, they've already done that with the 300m Neomatik. It would be very cool if NOMOS made a diver, specifically.
