The Quartz Crisis of the 1970's refers to the period of time in which the mechanical Swiss watch manufacturers were threatened by the increase of inexpensive quartz watches. In the video it says it was actually quartz watches threatened by digital watches, which is incorrect.

@fbpo16997 жыл бұрын
wrong. both watches used the same design inspiration (the porthole). Also the watches were very different from the beginning. Hublot featured a rubber strap, quarz movement and a lower pricepoint at bigger sizes whereas the RO featured a bracelet, JLC movements a very high pricepoint and a smaller diameter.

Im an AP owner and fan. I’m far from being a billionaire. I’m interested in this video but the intro made me lol and stop. I work for billionaires and they don’t buy any consumer grade stuff at all. They are the most simple, down to earth and intelligent people I’ve met (the ones I know anyway). People who produce consumer grade products never consume these products themselves. It’s the millionaires and even more so the lower classes who must have these things. AP is my favorite brand of consumer grade timepieces but far from worthy of being coveted by the elite. But I guess this is all part of the show aye? Anyway thanks for the info.... and the laugh. 😊✊🏽

As a haute horology manufacturers AP is a one trick pony and it is debatable how AP is part of the holy trinity of horology. JLC should replace AP to join PP and VC on the top of mass produced luxury watch. Having said that Royal Oak is undeniably a beautiful piece, however the rest of their brand have failed to live up to Royal Oak's high reputation.
@kenny86757 жыл бұрын
