I remember when every watch company - including PP - ran, where the money was, in the 70ies. The result was a smashed Swiss Watch Industry, that needed Nick Hayek to pick up the pieces of what was left of the ingenious skills earned in centuries to restore an industry that would probably not have survived without getting back to watch makers know how and the roots of an honest "main d'oeuvre".
So, I am always a bit reserved when it comes to "follow the trend".
