Today’s Wind Down is dedicated to all the winners out there. Maybe you found $2 on the street, maybe you’ve just got a positive attitude, or maybe, just maybe, you’re lucky enough to win a watch.

What do Entry Level Watchmakers and Watch Retailers have to fear?
During the early stages of internet retail or e-Commerce, it was natural for consumers to not make high priced purchases on the web. Coupled with the high craft, highly artistic nature of luxury goods, the tactile experience and bespoke shopping experience through superior customer service meant that mono-brand brick and mortar shops remained…
