A Talk about Watch

New Luxury Watches Report: Interviewed a small circle of Shanghai famous "watch crazy" --- he familiar with the various types of the world watches, watches has also written several books on appreciation. So the first moment he saw his, I deliberately pay attention to what he had to wear a watch, "This is Athens GMT watch, for the time zone adjustment. I'll go to Japan, so for wearing this, usually, I wear TAG Heuer is another piece. "see my mind, Mr. Fang introduced me to this watch, but also pay attention to a bit of my wrist, but he did not see the watch in that position.

Yes, I am a "blind watch" --- After graduation I was almost never worn watches, first, because no interest is because of two mobile phones. Having said that, although I did not watch the slightest feeling, but I do also those interested in "play watch" were very curious: what "flavor", so that they are so obsessed with this record time machine?

Obsessed with machinery: like the reason for the watch

Sunday News Morning (hereinafter referred to as "Sunday"): how do you like the watch?

Fang (hereinafter referred to as "Fang"): like the watch and the collection watch is different from the situation. Watch interest on the small matter of course, remember that time, little bell home demolition had not been my collection. As for my own collection watch, the age has been 30 years of age.

Sunday: Your favorite watch will usually wear?

Side: most proud of the collection usually will not necessarily wear. Like my favorite is the pocket watch collection, but usually not convenient to come up to use. The watch while he is often wearing the most practical needs of their own watch. For example, I usually wear the TAG Heuer SEL watch, has spent more than a decade, since it has timing functions, like me who like cars, sometimes you can treat it as a stopwatch. I used this almost never off the watch, even when they wore bathing.

Sunday: I heard that people like to watch, often also on other mechanical interested ... ...

Fang: so, for example --- in the car who looks like machinery, cars and watches, in fact, many close to the place, for example, are very emphasized that power, even a lot of watch design, which itself is designed from the car the inspiration.

Sunday: I guess, such people generally prefer things exactly tight, strong sense of time.

Fang: often it is.

Sunday: male?

Fang: Absolutely.

In Shanghai, five people playing watch

Sunday: Hong Kong watch collectors club in Shanghai, "play list" of people have their own little groups?

Fang: Shanghai No, but "play watch" a lot of people, but everyone's situation is different, the reasons for collection of watches and clocks, not much different.

Sunday: Please make some comments.

Fang: In my opinion, so like the watch about five people.

The first category is more old-fashioned. They have long engaged in this business, such as a watch shop, probably the age of 50 years of age, is characterized by hand tend to have somewhat skills.

The second category is now doing business watch, their age is not too large, open my own business, for commercial things really understand, vision is very wide.

The third category is more like the watch itself. They are often very interested in the mechanical things, such as cars. There are even some people like to "play" some strange things, one of my friends like to collect sound, I prefer to ship the clock.

The fourth category is the senior white-collar workers with a certain income for them to buy watches as a status, but also as an investment in yourself.

The fifth type is a group of younger white-collar workers. Their tastes and preferences by the Hong Kong and Taiwan, and Japan greatly.

Sunday: You should be a third one right.

Fang: Yes. These people as we generally have their own unique preferences, many people will craft their own hands --- Although our general, but the watch itself is very understanding, so often have their own special "technology." The first group, although the craft that the old man is good, but they are generally on their own repair watch fathom experience, the purpose is to list only "go up", as to whether it had the makings of not being considered.

Commercial Times, the watch has not previously fun

Sunday: It's time more and more tools, usually have a cell phone, work a computer ... ...

Fang: New timing tool does make the watch timer function greatly weakened, but the most affected, or mid-watch in the market as high-end luxury market fundamentals still remain the same watch. In fact the final analysis, using watch or using a mobile phone at the time, just a matter of habit.

Of course, some would say different, watches are often not able to see at a glance the exact time (electronic display of mobile phones and computers can do), but it has a sense of space, when you can see when the pointer slowly toward the origin, have a real grasp of sense of time --- for example, when you go to an appointment to see phone, but to know a specific moment, but watch and you will get from the space of a "how long before the appointed time from "the distance.

Sunday: Although I am not interested in the watch, but also can feel the clock is now growing a commercial.

Fang: Yes. With the entry of big capital watch industry, playing watch is already not as fun, and too many of them commercial factors are penetration. Like I got married when he asked a friend to Paris and bought a gold watch in Athens, red enamel surface, produced a total of only 50 pairs, the price of gold is nothing but a general list prices. And now the limited edition watches, prices tend to exceed more than 15% of regular price!

Today's watch industry pay more attention to the commercial interests of the watch, for example, make a new product, they often go to calculate how much benefit --- a typical example is a former President output watch, and then to determine the quality of prices; now it is reversed, first decide how much to produce a price list, and then go design and production.
