They're analog, quartz-accurate and you never need worry about a battery. When they die, you recycle them and buy another. I know - sacrilege to many; but I'd rather spend my money elsewhere. But I don't begrudge Ming. If people invest in his marketing approach, good for him.Joe Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10679530650280030752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-61998358841871143372017-08-28T17:18:43.213-07:002017-08-28T17:18:43.213-07:00MB & F.

I know nothing about the watch market, but he's obviously filling a niche that was left open by the big players.<br /><br />I'm sure Andrew feels the same way about his blog ;-)<br /><br />Sven WAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-41742906479100988952017-08-17T15:30:30.745-07:002017-08-17T15:30:30.745-07:00artisanal dog-beds.artisanal dog-beds.stone sealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08285111419079958362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-56136476506406834512017-08-16T13:29:57.712-07:002017-08-16T13:29:57.712-07:00Also don’t forget the bags...Also don’t forget the bags...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-84097788209164412182017-08-16T02:29:53.208-07:002017-08-16T02:29:53.208-07:00@David and don't forget 1500 USD-a-pop 2-days ...@David and don't forget 1500 USD-a-pop 2-days workshops to learn to "shoot like Ming"...Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150555399278445304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-81806467398911083562017-08-15T10:17:46.620-07:002017-08-15T10:17:46.620-07:00I'm in awe.

Not literally starving, but... not a shopkeeper? oh well. It feels a teensy bit like Paris Hilton's line of perfume... lingerie... shoes! whooooa, flatware!

This group owns the Swatch brand, but they also own a bunch of high-end brands, Omega among them. It's you basic Swiss zaibatsu.<br /><br />A couple of years ago ETA said they were going to restrict sales to entities outside the Swatch group, so companies like Selitta started making clones (the designs are long ago out of patent). <br /><br />$900 is a reasonable price for a micro-brand watch. I doubt Ming will get rich off the venture. Gustaf Eriksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01771769400101430487noreply@blogger.com
