How did high horology turn into goyslop?
>>536209678estrogen in the water.
>>536209678m8, look at all this new watch manufacturers and you will find the answer. Its just goyslop for the stupid goyim with money. Hublot,Tag,Nardin and even fucking AP is making goyslop
>>536209678Thought horology is like having a burner phone for hookups and giving out fake names.
>>536209678People used it for gaudy status symbol. Merchants were more than happy to oblige.
>>536210273It's the audience desu. Rolexes always been tacky but dudes like Andrew Tate elevated that shit to another level. In all seriousness nobody needs a fancy watch and I'd rather wear a casio w 800
>>536210273breitling is still for sketchy dudes and citizen/seiko are still for people who don't launch into a 4 minute sales pitch when you tell them "nice watch"
>>536209678Me mum was a horologist
>>536210585>>536210604its not jus that, most Watch makers apart from rolex and patek are owned by a globohomo corporation. Thats why we end up with abominations like Richard mille or hublot
Get a cheap Casio, end the bullshit
>>536209678>muh watch.There is noting stupider or Redd8t than thinking anyone else cares about your overpriced timepiece. More cringe (maybe) than a supercar
>>536210682She charge by the minute, m8?
>>536211061Watches used to be a cool hobby when only watch nerds were into it
I like cheap Chinese watches.It's amazing what developing the capacity to create millions of high quality fake watches does for you ability to make your own cheap high quality watches.You can buy a Chinese tourbillon for less than $300 on AliExpress these days.
>>536211383Still can't into Roman numbers. Fucking retarded
i have a tag heuer aquaracer 300mi bought it in colombia in 2018 with my trx gainsroast me
this onei never wear it anymore
>>536211535Nah, IIII is actually "traditional" in watches.It's called a "watchmaker's four".
>>536211920And the two 11 is it traditional or chinks are retarded?
>>536212233nique ta mere sale fils de cuck
>>536211712>roast mein 2026, watches are jewelry only women and faggots wear jewelry now show us your earrings and garters
>>536212359petite pute apatride
>>536212233lol fucking chinks!Just goes to reinforce my point though. The tourbillon movement was something you only saw in $30,000 watches twenty years ago, now it's just something that gets shoved in chink slop on AliExpress.

>>536212359>fils de cuckI legit read that as "fissdicook"
>>536212683hey kid, you sperg to much tonight on /pol/ , maybe take a break ?
>>536209678i tried to provide a write-up to explain why this is the case but i don't have the time to fully explore the topic.i will say it like so:the world we live in now is no longer about the best product, it's all about raising the line just a smidge more every year. now that might sound stupid to you. >How can a company make money if they don't make a better product?through perceived value. i'm not an economist and i know there's a term for this but essentially, luxury items such as watches, shoes, suits, etc... are no longer being made with the care and attention to detail they once had but they still have the ability to present status. >How does a shitty watch show statusto actual wealthy people, it doesn't but very few of us are actually in such circles. these products are made for mainstream appeal, those living in the 'real world'. with an even higher focus on how you present yourself (both online and off line), a lot of these known luxury brands (and knockoffs, start-ups, etc) target that. everyone is focused on material presence, but you are also seeing how devoid the world has become spiritually.
>>536212715he is indeed a fissdicouk>>536212791your sister on alo.bg
>>536212715>fissdicookhe's a gay fish
>>536212867sure thing rajesh. Quick question where did you learn french ?
>>536212986in Pondicherry
>>536209678Are you one of those "you will own nothing and be happy" faggot? You can't have your cake and eat it too. Be anti-globohomo cuck and be anti-consoomerism at the same timeIt's ok to have a few nice items and value them.That's what our elders did.
>>536212359Retourne voler des sacs à main sur le marché, bulgravien.
>>536213079the fuck is that ?
>>536213197>bulgravien.you are talking with a jeet born in france that has emigrated to bulgaria
>>536209678everything being digital now makes mechanical watches more appealing. it really boggles my mind how retards 200 years ago without any real tools were able to mass produce tiny components. try creating a watch with all the latest cad/cnc software/hardware. good luck
>>536209678The majority of the population, well over 75%, are completely oversocialized groupthink retards who see everything primarily through a lens of a perceived good in-group vs bad out-group. This itself isn't anything new, but the internet and modern mass media and marketing have amplified the effect of this to insane levels.You can see it in how retarded politics has become, and how insane almost everyone acted during covid. But you can also see it happening with perceived status symbols.The real reason people want to own the newest iPhone or some expensive watch or designer clothes or some certain luxury car or whatever else is NOT because of the qualities of the product itself.The may claim to want an iPhone because of the camera quality, or some fancy watch because they like the design or whatever, but that's post hoc rationalization.What's really happening is that for various reasons they believe that there is a subset of the population who are more cool, smart, sophisticated, richer, whatever than everyone else. And for various reasons they also believe that the people who own that certain status symbol are in that group.The real reason they want the status symbol is because they think it would show everyone else that they are also part of that cool, rich, sophisticated in-group.
I read an essay the other day about thishttps://www.paulgraham.com/brandage.htmlQuartz and Japan made it cost nothing, watchmakers had to adapt or die.
>>536212799>to actual wealthy peopleActual wealthy people don't wear the flashy designer goods and normie status symbols that normies think are signs of being rich.Actual wealthy people tend to do the exact opposite and try to show their status and flex on each other by countersignalling. They tend to wear basic, ordinary looking clothes and watches because they are rich enough that no one is going to get confused and think they can't afford anything better.Most mainstream luxury/designer brands and status symbols aren't actually a symbol of true wealth or status, they just sell an illusion to aspirational people.
>>536211323>Watches used to be a cool hobbyLol no
Same as all other European luxury fashion items. It was only a matter of time.
>>536213749thanks, said what i wanted to say more eloquently. also consider that for years (planned obsolescence for example), the cultural zeitgeist has been changing to accept more slop. food, fashion, art, etc has become more and more garbage over the years as we've stopped prioritising what is the best in favour of what sells the most (and no, those two are not the same). culturally, it's a fucking disaster the times we're living in.>>536214134pretty much, this is the point i was trying to make. however, there are "real" luxury brands but you won't hear about them on tv or social media hence my point about those higher socioeconomic echelons.
>>536213688guess they werent retards then
>>536214497wow, you're really good at catching subtle points
