As 2025 draws to a close, it’s a natural moment to pause, take stock, and look ahead at what the coming year may hold for the watch industry. In this week’s episode of Fratello Talks, Nacho is joined by Daan and Lex for an in-depth conversation about the various factors and forces that are actively reshaping the watch world. The discussion covers a broad range of topics, from emerging players in traditionally untapped markets to shifts in design approaches and production methods, as well as evolving expectations from collectors who increasingly seek connection, personalization, and originality in the pieces they acquire. Nacho, Daan, and Lex explore how these changes might influence both independent and established brands, and what they could mean for the broader industry landscape.
