Watches and Wonders Predictions
predictions for watches and wonders (prove me wrong):
- Lange to come out with another Lange 1 perpetual...... for 400k
- rolex will change their case sizes by 1mm for some model and people will lose their minds over it
- Baume Mercier will come out with Bau*fat*ic with 240hrs power reserve?
- Cartier with another tank
-FC will come out with an underrated watch that people hate just cause they are owned by citizen
-GS will come out with another $100k master collection inspired by the shade of the sunray when it hits a leaf at exactly 45 degrees at 1:43pm on August 12th 20023
-Hublot and IWC with overrated pieces of junk (so maybe ingeniuer in precious metal)
-Nomos will bring out a club campus to increase their cult following
- Oris wil come out with Cal 401 to improve the Cal 400 idiosyncrasies
-VC with a platinum 222?
-Tag Heuer with another re-issue of the Heuer glassbox
- tudor will copy rolex and be slightly cheaper

You are way out of bounds , except for GS. There you are on the money👍
I predict that the changes will be expensive 😉🎯
Tudor with a new model name …..sorry my mistake….I’tll be black bay
Im sure AP will bring an unbelivable suprise in the form of .... u guessed it... another royal oak
You really seem like you don’t enjoy this hobby friend 😉😁
meh…
Swatch will release a solid gold Blancpain Collab for £2.50p hoping to steal the show in their absence , like they've done previously with the MoonSwatch, but no one will notice because Rolex have moved their display cabinet 3mm to the left.
And of course a plethora of Bland Bays and nothing we actually want or are asking for from the Wilsdorf Wannabes. (North Flag reissue?😢)
And everyone else will announce industry saving massive price cuts 🤑🤣

He speaks the truth sadly . . . most companies are understandably just chasing money, but if it was just about watchmaking they'd probably stop releasing new things every damn year and actually stop to reflect and really plan their next move.
Nailed it! Don’t forget about price increases.
I predict that I will want to buy at least 2-3 of these releases.
Tutdor with a White Black Bay Pro, and a sort of grey-ish Black Bay Amateur.
I predict I will buy absolutely nothing that gets released at watches and wonders this year! 🤣🤣🤣

Right, but as a professor, do you never make small changes and improvements to you curriculum to improve the learning experience of your students? Or do you leave it exactly the same until you come up with the idea to completely revamp and innovate the entire process because nobody wants to take your classes anymore? Just a thought, not an attack.
But I like the small incremental changes, aesthetic and functional that watch companies make. I don’t agree with them all personally, but Rome wasn’t built in a day, as they say 😉

I change things a little every time. But then again we’re not talking dial colors here haha or a red tip on a second hand 😛
