I do not think the swiss top brands should ever believe they are 100% safe.Remember what happened with Quartz.That nearly destroyed the swiss watch industry.Maybe Spring drive is just the beginning.It takes years to build a brand name like Patek-Rolex etc etc.But in the world today with internet it only takes months to make a brand name worthless.In my opinion the new industrial revolution is happening right now.And it is not our part of the world that is leading the way.Just imagine they invented a mechanical wrist watch that never needs a service and with a finish that is unique.Then i do not think brand names could keep putting their heads in the sand.It might never happen and Swiss brands might continue to milk us for our hard earned money for years to come.I do not know what will happen 100% and no body else knows 100%.But if i had to make a bet i would put my money on the Far East.
