Ariel asks what were some of the pivotal moments of the 1980’s in watch production that began today's course, and the influence that some of the mega luxury groups had. Pierre-Yves explains a bit of the history of “affordability” in the space, and Ariel asks about a specific era of when consumers really became accustomed to the dependability of their timepieces.
