Are pushing people to buying big brands again… so the other way around of what we witnessed in the last 10/15 years.

Rexhep Rexhepi and Louis Vuitton Collaboration !!

It’s too early in the morning, and my jet lag isn’t letting my absorb all the nuances and benefits of this collaboration, in spite of reading this article. I look forward to the more-learned WPS purists here enlightening us. Hussam Link to the FT article:...  

Sounds like I’ve got to hit the horological history books

. Does Rexhepi need LVMH to sell 10 amazing chiming watches at 500k? Perhaps I overestimated his appeal

He doesn't! But he's happy to be the "Opener" for the new Harry Winston Opus series.

To Rexhep, it's an opportunity to be in the history books for the new Harry Winston Opus Series equivalent.

Exactly!

Ohh no!

Agreed! LV comes in, jacks up prices...

That's what they do... Their Mission objective is to come in, rebrand the brand, increase marketing spend, change up distribution, and recoup their investment quickly by jacking up prices!

Mmmm chiming chrono (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

live, love, laugh, and enjoy the Music ❤️

Puzzling indeed...

...but I guess that the folks at LVMH know what the're doing and that RR does it too. Let's see how it goes but I really doubt that the'll have problems with selling all of them,

It's not puzzling! It's just pure business!

Rexhep is happy to be the first to launch this new "Opus" of watches. LVMH cannot buy any ultra-high-end brand. Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, F.P. Journe are all not for sale. LVMH desperately wants a ultra high end brand ... 

Thanks for taking the time to comment my post.

Everything you say makes sense to me, thanks again.

You are most welcome!

Too kind.

Not at all!

You are exactly the member we aspire to have - curious, willing to learn, opinionated, but not too married to your own opinion! And we should all try to be more fact-based than our gut-feeling based - if that makes any sense.

Thanks again.

Most welcome!

Smart!

I think it's a great way for LVMH to elevate their core watch business from a brand perspective. Lots of brands in other consumer spaces do this. Also how cool is it that someone who came as a refugee is now working directly with the son of one of the ric...
