Laurent Ferrier now being sold on Mr. Porter
Feb 02, 2021,07:19 AM
Does anyone have a clue why this collaboration took place? Personally I am disappointed and I want to hear everyone’s view on this. I take this watch collecting hobby quite seriously and LF has made wonderful watches since it’s inception. I think to list their stock on Mr. Porter is not befitting of its image (I know, I know. Vacheron and some other brands are also there too). I shop a lot from the website but I have never thought twice of buying a watch from them. LF....wth are you thinking 🙄
I’m truly a little affected
Yours Truly,
Gatsby

If Patek really listed their stuff on Mr. Porter, you really aren’t going to buy their watches again? I cannot say that I would readily do that myself. A great product is still a great product no matter where it’s being offered. But someone needs to tell ...

Patek was ONLY sold on Mr. Porter. Could you not still have your experience at your preferred AD or Boutique? For those not interested in experience and wishing to pay full price they could utilize Mr. Porter. How would you feel if Patek decided to open u...

You would guess correctly, I would be turned off by any watch that I love being sold at Walmart... with the exception of Seiko. Your example pushed it wayyy past the extreme (LOL) but you make a valid point. Thanks for your answer Fab, and maybe I’ll bump...
LF has been on Hodinkee’s offerings for quite some time now.

They also carry Urwerk. As much as I have issues with some of Hodinkee’s decisions, I never saw that as a reflection on LF or Urwerk. Mr Porter is a very tastefully-curated platform. If you like Laurent Ferrier for the design and aesthetics, don’t let the...

LF tried to sell on line

the Classic green Origin and it takes time and it is not their Business model. So, in complement to their official AD's, any collaboration could be fine, as Hodinkee, etc.... The much important is the Quality of their watches. Not easy to everyone to see ...
Yes sir hence my thread

I enjoy reading everyone’s opinion on the matter. Whether one is for or against it, the reasoning on both sides are sound. Guess it’s a matter of how easy going one is. Some are very particular....some aren’t....however there is no doubt about certain imp...
I do not understand this online shopping, of new watches, at all!

When spending a serious amount of money on an independent watch, make it a little party. Get the car, train or plane and buy the watch in your favorite city and make it a superb weekend. It is so much more exiting to visit a good dealer or brandstore, tha...

The experience of talking with real people, going to the village. Furniture, an boutique interior, seats, and body language. The mystery if there is some discount, yes or no, another interesting watches if the desired watch just sold to another customer. ...

H.Moser and Cie. They produce very beautiful watches. I can not point any Moser which is not nice. Fingers crossed H. Moser and Cie wil survive. They are so ambitious and tru high graded watch makers, let’s hope they can keep made that art for long. DB, a...
It is probably not the best place for them to be in
By: radone : February 11th, 2021-08:03
But we have to consider that traffic in the stores, where they are open, is severely down. So is the general interest in buying watches. So, they have to reach the global consumer somehow. I believe that no-one can blame them for a business decision whose...
