For me, celebrities are a liability. That's why I never look at Tag Heuer (they're the worst offender in using celebrities). I tend to ignore celebrity endorsements, not just for watches but other products as well. I'm almost indifferent to watch advertis...
Same reaction...

... I mostly look into a watch with my own research... To be honest, I learn more about a watch on forums like here, and hence be affected by what I see here, than any ads that is run by manufactures. What I see here, are the experience and comments from ...

Dear hororgasm, A point of order: I have not accepted ALL advertisement proposals. In the past, when I approved 100% of adverts, they were only accepted after a senior moderator had secretly done a background check of the brand's horological credo....... ...
I'm curious...

if we think the only people visiting this site are watch-aholic movement snobs? And I wonder how we would feel if, on some site, somewhere, some people who buy watches because this celebrity or that sports star wears a particular model, laugh and snicker ...

comes wisdom,and at different stages you are sensible to different things,but we can t avoid being overwhelmed by some degree of snobism. I guess that being a novice, compared to many here, I am still easily influenced by things that won t even bother me ...
Honestly?

I couldn't care less. I see ads on magazine or even economic/ financial newspapers. They are doing their job, which is trying to make money and that is fine with me, because I do my job to make a living, too. No I am not in ad agency industry All I think ...

nah! None of us WIS (I do not even know what these 3 letters mean, shame on me- and please do not tell me) would ever admit being moved nor influenced by the use of celebs and the like in watch advertising. Nah! we are only interested in watches, horology...
Agree with you Horo, but

"If you have basic self worth, than ornamentation makes it look better. But ornamentation by itself, makes you hollow" I think that this is a pretty true for celebrity endorsements. But by itself, it does not make me buy a watch. J. PS: In my 40s, I think...
So you guess?

Horo, There are so many watch advertizing that I could produce a very long list. My latest advertizing catch (no way I go to buy that watch) is one where the CEO claims that his company was able to merge, by extreme pressure, gold and rubber. Cheers
