IWC Schaffhausen

Hi Simon,

It's an interesting presentation and it provocative because it relays marketing concepts not always universally shared nor adopted by the fine watch industry.

There's no problem sharing videos assuming they're not commercial nor are copyrights violated, which generally doesn't happen with you-tube posted material. However, many have been shown here before and you might want to check the archives here first to avoid duplication.

Thanks for your interesting link.

Regards, Michael

Well, what can I say? IWC has changed and continues to change. Change is inevitable and desirable, for the most part.
Call me a dinosaur, but I do not much like this particular change. I liked it better when IWC sold watches Probus Scafusia, not illusions or dreams. I can make my own illusions and dreams, without having to overpay for them.

My dear friend Antonio, I know how you feel it is like hearing your favorite team's players saying they don't care about you, the fan, but they are winning the championship, you don't like their gameplay on the pitch and what they say but they win.
I am a stand coach myself too you know. I have my opinions about certain matters involving IWC's gameplay although I am still keeping the faith I would love to turn things differently if only I could. But you know what they say for a top winning (selling) team, you simply don't change it.

PS My best wishes for Portugal on the Euro starting tmr.

Best regards
Argiris

Drear Argy, I will follow on your sports metaphor. IMHO creating a quality brand and maintaining its image is not the 100 meter dash - it is a marathon, all 42.195 kms of it. It is not good strategy to be ahead at kilometer 10, and out of breath by kilometer 20.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow - probably the only chance Portugal will have to beat Germany at anything, :)

Apart from my inadequacy to have an opinion on "how it used to be" I could not agree more with the general point you are making!

You're welcome, Michael.

However I will check the archives to insure that I don't duplicate the same video twice from another member.

Cheers,
Simon

No one seems to comment on the increase on return to IWC-Richemont-Shareholders is at ultimately the end buyers expense. Wonder who that is?
