OK, I stand partially corrected...

Magnus,
I appreciate you coming to Gerald Clerc's defense and I appreciate the data that it is a family member running the business.

The fact that Gerald Clerc is a great guy, has I'm afraid nothing to do with how I see this category of "Watch brand"

I'm afraid one of my acid tests for a brand is how well they maintain value in the long run, others are the consistency of their message and products. With the big one, after sales service to existing clients, which to me is the "achilles heel' of many brands...that is another discussion though
I even like the look of a couple of their watches, but I still see the business, as a marketed driven model, rather than superior product and compelling watchmaking. I know nothing of their aftersales service, which may well be an anomaly, and very good.

So, as the old saying goes, my opinion is mine, and it hasn't dramatically changed of Clerc watches. It is their right and option to run their business as they see fit.

And in the spirit of the Purists, I was sharing from my perspective and passion, my opinion to a question that was posted here.

Cheers,
Tim
