In one of the biggest pieces of news to come out this summer, Rolex announced they will be buying their long-time retail partner, Bucherer. Many are speculating on how this will change the retail landscape for other companies. Does this mean the end for other authorized dealers? The markets may think so as Watches of Switzerland’s share price plummeted over 30%. Also, MB&F released two new Horological Machine 9 Sapphire Visions (HM9-SV), each limited to 5 pieces.
