Les horlogers indépendants règnent en maîtres
Autrefois, le marché des montres d'occasion était un lieu où les gens troquaient de vieux garde-temps hérités de leur grand-père. Aujourd'hui, c'est un endroit où l'on peut surtout faire de bonnes affaires. Et si la tendance se poursuit, les spécialistes prévoient que ce marché dépassera dans quelques années celui des montres neuves en termes de chiffre d’affaires. La désirabilité d'une montre est désormais indissociable de sa valeur sur le marché de l'occasion. Pour les montres comme pour les voitures, un modèle en vogue et difficile à obtenir verra sa valeur se maintenir, voire s’apprécier. Mais, si le modèle n'est ni populaire ni rare, la voiture ou la montre que vous achetez perdra instantanément de sa valeur.
