Influence of watch bloggs on the industry

[hannover_dk]

the bigger the blog the bigger the influence clearly - I do however think that the clear majority of watches are sold to peolpe who never visit a blog. I can just look at my workplace - probably 300 people there, and I know most of them well enough to know if the are watch interested to the extend they visit blogs - and none of them do, but they all have watches.
In the management group - lets call it 24 people over 8 countries - most have a watch that would cost around 20-50.000 DKK . A majority of Rolex, Omega and Breitlings, and a few IWC actually - and non of them have any particular interest in watches, other than knowing that the brand they have picked is popular and matches their status somehow.

I think the industry has a rather bigger interest in prices of their vintage watches, as that can somehow justify the scary prices they take for their new watches, and I think they can have an interest in blowing up prices on auctions.

So - yes I do think blogs have some infliuence in particular the very big blogs, but I do not think the industry is as scared as you do Willy. I think, if you or I wrote something bad about Omega on timezone (or here) Omegas management would still sleep relatively undisturbed at night .
