    I agree entirely. CNN had a great article pointing out that for every McDonalds or Disney that had sharp downturns, there was a Chipotle or Texas Roadhouse that had a spike in sales. What's happening is that those companies that took advantage of the Covid spending spree by raising prices are now hurting because that was always going to correct. Consumers have now taken those vacations and spent down their pent-up consumption and they're now reevaluating their spending. In other words, things have returned to normal and we're basically back to 2019.

      As a watch collector, I look forward to a recession and stock market collapse like in 2008, since watch prices will collapse and will be a great buying opportunity.

      I like CW far more than Bremont and those minimalist quartz watch brands created by Millenials like MVMT. Those are all made in the same Chinese factory, only the branding is different.
      Just like mattresses that come in boxes. Avocado, Saatva, Purple, Casper, etc. All made in the same factory in China and drop-shipped to the US customer. But their ads are sleek and Americans, for the most part, are suckers for ads targeting "sophisticated" buyers. We recently bought a mattress from Mattress Firm and the sales manager told us how these worked.

    Fed, I’m an economist. Likely a recession yes. Does it impact the watch market? 100%. Watch sales/market over the past cycles have always been a leading indicator of issues in the economy. The watch market has this huge problem today, and even worse issues with “the race to the middle” in the entire watch industry.
