Seems to me that whatever one wears and whatever attributes one associates with that brand to is mostly in the wearers own mind. No one in real life actually cares what watch you wear except there wearer themself.

Was that written by some intern with a rich dad? Also don't get the subliminal hate against Moser - maybe some childhood trauma...

I read it that way first, then I thought about it, and I think it's more a humor attempt, not really working well in my opinion, the angry type of guy humor is outdated and hard to master, this guy clearly doesn't.
A shame because with less salt in that article, there's some really funny observations, even if they are not factual, they do fit the aesthetics of the brands sometimes (I liked the Ressence & Richard Mille for example)

Interesting read!! Reality is that the watch (if it is from that list) says nothing about you except that you paid too much for a mechanical device that will be near extinct in another 15 years. The billionaire next door is wearing an Apple watch, smart with his money ;)

—— “We all wish to someday be able to wear a Hublot, and Hublot wearers know why. Knowledgeable yet humble, to wear a Hublot means to understand horology on a metaphysical level and realize that before there was the Hublot, there was just darkness in the world of horology”——


Seems that they are working so hard on selling Hublots
