The 4 Biggest Lies of the Watch Industry
T&H Live

“The Patek 5711 Sucks.”
It’s one of the most hyped watches in history, but Christian is here to tell you why it’s one of the industry’s biggest failures.
But that’s not all. The last 10 years in the watch world have been defined by a set of “truths” that are actually LIES. Christian breaks down his four hottest takes on the industry:
1. The Patek 5711 is a massive disappointment.
2. The “revenge” on quartz watches is unfair (and many are great).
3. TikTok was actually GOOD for watch collecting.
4. The Apple Watch never even mattered.
From collectible quartz to the influx of Gen Z, this is a no-holds-barred look at the real state of the watch world.
