The answers to what should I wear? A simple question that may not have a easy answer. We make strategic changes all the time in jobs, projects, health, and relationships. Yet, have you ever considered changing your wardrobe?

#snsinstitutions #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking The Rolex. No watch brand need less of an introduction than Rolex. It's a brand whose name has resonance outside of our sector. Nearly occupying its own space, Rolex is synonymous with luxury, interchangeable with quality, and infused with a legacy that cannot be recreated by money, spin, or public relations gimmicks. The company that was started in 1905 by wide-eyed Hans Wilsdorf has changed during the past ten years. It is become a sensation rather than a watch brand. This unrelenting juggernaut rolls over comers, and the rules don't apply to it. No, Rolex has a clear, unbeatable edge in the game since it wrote the rules. The top producer of luxury watches in the world is Rolex SA.

The Swiss luxury watchmaker, Rolex, has been hit with a $100 million penalty in France over its online sales constraints. The French antitrust body is targeting the prestigious Swiss brand for an unlawful ten-year suppression on vendors selling Rolex's high-end watches via the internet. The financial penalty was collectively given to Rolex France, Rolex Holding SA, the Hans Wilsdorf Foundation, and Rolex SA by the French competition watchdog. The ruling came in response to industry grievances and investigations conducted by the regulator. The French competition agency highlighted a striking discrepancy; while Rolex refrains from selling its esteemed timepieces online, its equally prominent rivals are capitalizing on the digital age by permitting the online sale of their luxury watches, albeit under certain stipulations. The regulator implies that achieving brand objectives doesn't necessarily have to limit competition, suggesting a more stylish and clever approach to manoeuvring the market. #luxury #luxurywatches #luxurygoods

Although it's still a difficult task to walk into a boutique and come out with a Rolex, Audemars Piguet, or a Patek Phillipe, change is slowly happening 1.6 million Swiss watches are being exported monthly, and Rolex still has 80% of its catalogue trading at above retail prices.

Rolex adds another gem in its crown as it moves to control distribution of new and certified pre-owned (CPO) Rolex watches. Not a surprise as it follows other watch and luxury brands which already sell through their own networks of boutiques. The timing of this big acquisition is interesting in my view as Swiss watch sales are starting to soften. After years of increases prices in the secondary market for the most in demand models of Audemar Piguet, Patek Philippe and Rolex with year-long waiting lists have already dipped significantly. A proper cyclical downturn would show how reslient watch prices really are and whether top models are still allocated to too many eager buyers or need to be sold. Watch lovers would welcome the return of discounts offered on demand.
