Can you really manipulate the market to liking a watch?
Apr 21, 2021,15:13 PM
I have heard so many times that FPJs rise is due to manipulation. I agree they did get a lot of help on the supply side. But can you manipulate people to buy a watch due to rarity? I do not see stars or athletes wearing FPJs. I just want to give credit to FPJ also.

since they produce @900 pieces/ annum they are sold out well in to 2022 and have 10 boutiques, it’s hardly a huge surprise If this happens.

They manipulated the secondary market based on their cache of secondary stock... more of a picture i would paint.

Manipulation is all about creating a desire of the unobtainable ( that is within a collectors sphere)... increase price; reflects a rarity; reflects a desirability ; or; a commodity.

Always been a roger dubuis fan, the sympathie line (the earlier ones like yours) are amongst the most beautiful watches created.
Interesting. Thanks.

While not in U-S-A, means a several years of a wasted relationship... are we to be pushed to the bottom of the queue? Not a Journe Society member, now wish i was.

Seems the restriction of supply is limited to the USA. My Australian distributor assured me that they are continuing supply and my name on the waiting list, for the two I am chasing, is firmly in place.
