It will be interesting to see how auction results will continue. People are already calling this the smartwatch crisis...

I went to a Christies in Hong Kong (2018) and among the exotic watches on display were some that were made with endangered animal materials. For example, I noticed some that had ivory sourced from elephant. Those weren't necessarily auctioned, but they were part of the show, which means that Christies was benefiting from their display. My take-away from that was that where money and trade were involved, there will also be amorality, a complicit "blind eye" towards ethical problems. To the wealthy go the world's spoils.

How to create demand and exponentially increase the worth of an item which can be readily reproduced and therefore of little intrinsic value..

Phenomenal subject! We are still in the beginnings of learning how the auction houses have helped grow the collectors market for horology. There are still many gaps that we need to fill. Thanks.

The big auction houses should work with mid-tear and mid-high-tear watch brands, too. That would create interest around those brands and, of course, would attract new and younger audience, tempted by the significantly lower prices. You can find beauty and relevance at any level. I am sure the watch world would appreciate a bit more attention to brands other than… the usual auction suspects 😉
