Can’t wait

I am sure it’ll be great for watch-lovers.

All that internal competition to spend the most on advertising! The savings achieved by standardising on just one basic movement across all brands! And the fun squeezing Swatch Group till we can buy it and at last have one Swiss watchmaker to rule the world! (Aside from Rolex, of course.)

Will be first in line for the new Bvlviitthubzentifflangvachjaegetiwcartipiagerai as soon as it launches. Only available at your unfriendly local Megawatchco dealer, or online via NFT lottery. Price: your soul.

Best

Brilliant acquisition of it goes ahead LVMH acquires high end brands such as Acheron Rumours swirl.. Julian

It all depends on Mr Rupert's decision

Both companies are highly valued at the moment: this will be an expensive acquisition but most likely number 1 on Mr Arnault's strategic roadmap

Could it be one of the reasons why PP is rumored (??) to have reduced the nb of Tifany's allowed boutiques in the US ? They would be directly selling to some of their competitors somehow.

Consolidation Means Less Competition

And that ultimately is bad for us consumers. Quality is reduced, pricing is less competitive, and homogenization or the commoditization of product usually occurs. The safe bet is to look for vintage, neo-vintage, and independents for the good stuff.

Not sure what this means, but .....

I usually find that consumers (in terms of service) and employees (in terms of jobs) wind up on the short end of the stick with every acquisition after acquisition after acquisition. Question to the experts who follow the consequences of acquisitions: How... 

This consolidation is endemic in the publishing industry as well

I was involved in half-dozen deals of this sort, at a lower level. Sometimes this is bad for all, but I think most of the time consolidation does force some of the more "relaxed" employees in each organization to show their worth or be shown the door. The... 

Please resist the temptation

Woohoo … Tiffany stamps and dial colors on Langes, Cartiers and VCs

You know I’m joking right?

Tiffany went from uptown to posh town after LVMH came in…

Branded goods used to have discount openly, but with the consolidation and scarcity tactic that everyone learned from Hermes, it only meant more moolah for consumers to part away with.
