Cause back then they were priced as they should
And they made profit without doubt
But years ago the market went crazy and they adjusted their prices
What did dufour ask for that series of anniversary watches, I believe it was 1 million per piece.
That’s just ridiculous
It’s absolutely NOT worth that price, but on the other hand if these watchmakers see their watches fetching several hundred K at auctions, why should they still sell them for let’s say 90k
A fun couple of Dufours coming up at Phillips NYC
Each of the Simplicity (est $350-700k) and the Duality (est $1-2m) with case Number 1…. Catalogue going live after the Geneva sale. ...
My, My............
That first one is glorious!! And I know the movement is a thing of pure beauty. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely.
And for so many reasons, not just who could have predicted what’s happened in the last 6-7 years let alone the decade and half prior to that.
I have the same experience
They were about 40k euro and available Met Roger smith around the same time nd uncoils have bought his series I for about 45k That was 2.5 times the price of a patek Calatrava so I thought it was too expensive Damn, what a mistake I made.

Funny. I contemplatated, or maybe fantasized, an order right around that time.
It would have been a real stretch financially. One that would have been worth managing to.
They are cool watches for what they were at the time they were released
But I feel like they are pretty boring now. I'm going to get shit for this but the Credor Eichi is a lot more interesting to me.
