SDC dives into Hodinkee's financial woes, uncovers Geneva's colonial history, discusses the hurdles faced by Rolex's CPO program as well as their use of photoshop, draws parallels between the art market and independent watchmaking, examines the role of envy in watch collecting, and rounds up the latest from the world of horology.
I don’t want to talk about HODINKEE but I just am going to keep talking about it, it is literally everyone’s fascination - be it Nostalgic, morbid or whatever. Great article as always.
Zero sum or positive sum is another way of looking at lack vs loss. You and your friend can both buy Rolex Subs. But only one of you, not both, might be able to have the stars align for a CCII or a Simplicity or a Logical One, so in buying one of these watches you are necessarily depriving others of the same watch given its rarity.
This is the new Hodinkee.
😂 InshaAllah … as the kids say.
Another wonderful read🤌🏻
Cheers E!
Fantastic job as always :D thanks!
