La montre idéale : La complication n’est plus dans l’air du temps…

La montre idéale : le design est plus important que ce qui se passe à l’intérieur. La complication n’est plus dans l’air du temps…
À l'approche des Geneva Watch Days - le salon annuel des petits horlogers et de quelques grands, comme Breitling et Bulgari, qui débutera le 30 août – une même question revient : quel type de montre cherche-t-on ces temps-ci ? La pandémie a-t-elle influencé nos désirs et nos aspirations ? La demande pour les montres haut de gamme a repris de plus belle depuis le début de l’année, comme en témoigne le fort rebond publié par les grands groupes horlogers tels que Richemont. Cette demande n'a pas repris, cependant, pour tous les types de montres de luxe.
