Investment: Who buys a luxury watch for hundreds of thousands of euros, Mr. Scher?

Joram Scher, a luxury watch dealer with over 30 years of experience, shares his insights on the hype surrounding Swatch collaborations with high-end brands like Omega and Audemars Piguet. He notes that while these limited-edition watches are popular among young people, they are not mechanically impressive and are more of a fashion statement.

Scher believes that these collaborations are a way for brands to attract future customers and generate interest in their products. He also discusses the market for high-end watches, noting that rare and unique timepieces from brands like FP Journe and Lange & Söhne can fetch high prices at auction. Rolex, he says, is a master of creating scarcity and driving up demand for its products.
