Linde Werdelin Launches 'LW Vintage,' First Brand-Curated Pre-Owned Watch Market
It’s hardly a stretch to say?the pre-owned watch market is a weird, mythical place in the eyes of most watch companies. They are sort of aware?it’s out there, but they also seemingly have no interest / courage / idea (choose one… or three) on how to address it. There are a number of good reasons for that, as it truly is a slippery slope for them, littered with imminent perils imposed by the threat of product cannibalization, incorrect value assessment, customer service issues, and so and so forth.

New Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 & Metropolitaine Galaxy Dial Watches For 2018
To kick off the new year, Parmigiani Fleurier announced two new timepieces utilizing their unique “Galaxy” method of texturizing dials. The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 Galaxy Gold Bracelet and the Tonda Metropolitaine Selene are the newest unofficial (maybe official at some point) “his and hers” dress watch offerings from the brand. Interestingly enough, pricing is significantly lower than the previously released Tonda 1950 Galaxy Set.To create these striking and statement-making dials, Parmigiani Fleurier use a technique that requires dropping “Aventurine,” which is a hybrid copper and glass material, into the midnight blue dial creating what looks like stars?¨C hence, “Galaxy.” Personally, I find this decoration interesting with an almost poetic charm, and I’m excited to see these additional models brandishing the unique technique.
