Every watch brand release new model or update the existing model at Baselworld watch fair. The Replica Rolex Reviews are best to reveal the features, prices and updates about best watches. In this article I am going to summarize the top 10 lists that debuted at Baselworld 2016. In this fair new watch product strategies were observed in almost all watch brands. First was the collection of the entire new watch collection and second was the modification in existing collection. However we are going to share top 10 new watch collection presented at Baselworld 2016.
2016 was not a bad year in watch production as lots of new and distinct timepieces were presented. Watch industry is hundreds old and business models and themes existing from long time may be obsolete when compared to the latest business strategies of other industries. The luxury watch industry exists in a self-contained bubble which is separated in terms of operation from rest of the world. Luxury satisfies one more emotionally than practically. In other words we can say that luxury watch industry is more like an art market than a fashion market. Beside watch companies selling problems the market is seriously in need of quality watches. There are two points; one is industry problems in selling watches though to end-customer and the second is the market‘s appetite for watches. The two concepts may appear odd to each other but actually they are not. How in high demand market it is not able to sale watches? Watch brand marketing, invigorated product design and media efforts successfully help high-end watches to increase the demand and reach more people in last few years. It is true that watch industry has been very slow adopt the increased needs of global marketing which eliminates regional borders and is expensive price-sensitive and at the same time modern ways of distribution and sales procedures. People want wristwatches but the way to owning them is currently difficult and confusing one for all involved parties. The most discoursing factor of Baselworld 2016 the 30% reduced attendance of watch brands, distribution and retailers from around the world. It is really hard to explain the current situation as like any economy, it need some detective work to reach the core causes and effects of various factors that adds to market weakness or strength. For me the established wholesale model of watch brand supplying to market, relying on retailer and distribution partners to sell watches to end-consumer is increasingly showing age and cracking the edges. Examination of a new product launch is another example to discuss this issue. Baselworld is the biggest watch event in the world in which buyers from around the globe reaches watch brands to place orders for nee watches that will be delivered to them and from them to the end consumer. Now the question is what will happen if a watch brand release a small number of new products?
Low production can be very handy to reduce overall inventory in the market. It doesn’t make any sense by producing more watches when there are already too many unsold available in the market. The constant supply directly results in price reduction because of the demand and supply imbalances. While less product in market means fewer sales.Not all watch brands are part of the low product bandwagon. Most of the brands have totally different approach by re-launching with a new face, new product and sometimes entirely new product strategy. Brands like Omega and Tudor are two of the top ones that are participating in launching new products in 2016. On the other hand brands like Rado, Gucci and Tissot are continuously trying to reinvent their images by offering tons of new products. Both above mentioned categories of agree that the status quo of selling watches is not better enough for them. Shipping directly the consumer is one of the best ways to get profit. The traditional distribution way that includes range of middle men and third party retailer from the brand to the final consumer must disappear.

Brands like Rolex that ardently control the market can surely hand on for long time but the watch industry future is to remove the wall between the brand and the consumer and to connect them directly. In this way watch industry can get rid of enormous problems. Directly selling to consumers can help watch brand to lower the prices and sustain for much longer time. It doesn’t mean to remove third party retailers entirely because it would be foolish. Selling watches need passion with specialization. Effective specialist retailer will always remain the important part of watch industry that employ educated peoples to sale exotic and complex watches. Though there are limited numbers of stores around the world but still they are unable to carry one watch industry alone. Watch brand can’t achieve their goal by offering online sale technically as selling directly from a brand in one piece needs a proper strategy. Online selling means smooth transaction without any huge price variances with competitive retailers and also investing heavily in market for diverting consumer traffic. There are various brands that offer online sales but in heavily crowded market they offer most expensive price available. Do you think a consumer will shop directly online when the price is higher than the gray market? Off-course not, they will think that all products are same and the street price is less than retail price. Here is list of top 10 watches debuted at Baselworld 2016.
