They aren’t dependent on a single country’s economy. There’s demand and supply globally for watches.

This is why they’re such a great hedge against inflation, offer high liquidity, and are an extremely safe asset across the board. 

There’s a ton of mobility in watches, which makes them an unique and special asset class. 

This is why cartels and governments use them to move money across country lines.

Every day. 

Much like gold bars, but far more mobile.

Pricing arbitrage from one country to the next depending on a single local economy creates margin opportunities

They’re only one fedex box or plane ticket away from getting to another country and taking advantage of that opportunity. 

Watches migrate into new countries to adjust supply and demand curves all the time. 

In 2008 the US was suffering and people weren’t buying these things and all the supply moved to Europe. As covid started and restrictions were stricter in Europe more so than the US, watches started moving to the US. 

This is why historically we’ve never seen watch prices go down in 30 years. 

When China is down; the US is up; when the UK is down, China is up, etc etc. 

The flow of money is protected and it’s why I believe so much in watches as a great hedge against inflation and economic collapse. 

There is so much oppty in watches b/c people only consider what’s happening in their domestic market. They’re not thinking globally. 

This supply scarcity with the level of demand will drive pricing up no matter what. 

And when we’re talking about migration of watches from one country to the next, we’re not talking about 100k units of one watch. 

I’m talking about limited numbers. 3 more of these. 10 more of that. 16 more of this. 

Watches are a global currency. The sooner you realize this and consider them as more than status symbols the sooner you can capitalize on the opportunity.
