Summary:

In this episode, we discuss the recent Louis Vuitton Watch Week, where we critique the new releases from TAG Heuer, particularly the larger Carrera models, and discuss the implications of size changes in watch design. We also touch on the competitive landscape of luxury watches, highlighting the challenges faced by brands like TAG Heuer and Zenith, and the need for these companies to adapt to market demands and consumer preferences.

As the episode progresses, we delve into the complexities of brand identity and market positioning, particularly for Zenith, which we feel has lost its way. We discuss the importance of understanding consumer perceptions and the need for brands to innovate rather than simply rehashing old designs.
