Horological Meandering

They are coming out of the woodwork. I don't know about you but I never heard of any of them...😉 Meet A Few New Watch Brand Ambassadors: Cline, Bailey, Garfield, ...  

But I guess these represent the new era of influencers. Garfield I initially thought may be the cat, but then recognized Andrew Garfield as semi veteran English actor eg Spiderman, SNL, Social Network. Rami Malek for Cartier is reasonable, since at least ... 

I have to admit that I follow what happens in Hollywood as much as I follow skateboarding (given that the message they deliver is the same). But I'm starting to suspect that working as a professor on a US university campus for 17 years made me develop som... 

brand ambASSador

I would be happy to get to know her and talk watches🤷‍♂️ I also think these adverts don't apply to us WIS, we use 8 million computational hours of analysis. These are for the person picking a watch by flipping through golf digest.

shamefully distasteful, all of it.

They will raise prices and pay the ambassadors more 🤣

IMHO the only Ambassador that add value to a brand is Snoopy

Patek does it best

The point is simple: you choose to reward yourself with something at the very top because of YOUR success....not because someone else is more successful and you want to look like them! Honestly, if I wanted a watch because I saw it on a singer, a Hollywoo... 

their own watch (brand) and promote or market it all together! they would conquer the watch world in storm!

........and influencers. For those amongst us who have perhaps a little too much money and a large deficit of taste and critical thinking.

It would really be better invested in R&D… But don’t worry. They get the marketing money back through their pricing policy. In the end, we pay for everything anyway. 😉

And unfortunately this is not a democratic decision-making process. Because if the company asked me if I would like to have Ambassadors and higher prices or no Ambassadors with lower prices, oh dear, that would be a really difficult decision… 😎

we watch lovers and enthusiasts should hire our own ambassador to explain to the watch brands that we don't want and need their ambassadors?

I have never heard of any of these ambassadors, and they will make no difference to whether I buy a timepiece or not (It might actually put me off!). But I am in my mid 40s now. Advertising of any kind won't work on me. I know what I like. When I was youn...
