What Enthusiasts Have Wrong – Dispelling the Watch Industry's Top Myths – Episode 42

from Openwork: Inside the Watch Industry · host Collective Horology

Having made the transition from watch enthusiasts to industry insiders and retailers in particular, we’ve come to realize that there are often big gaps between what commands attention in watch media and among collectors vs. the commercial realities. Many of the so-called “truths” we hold sacred as enthusiasts aren’t really true after all. So today on Openwork, we’re myth busting – taking a look at some of the widely held beliefs in the watch community that are actually in fact misconceptions.
