DT, you mean a manufacturing strategy?

Well, its not that simple to become a manufacturer. TAG Heuer’s CEO says that the Calibre 1887 project was originally planned for 2009…and then was pushed to 2010. He also says it will take up to 5 year to reach full manufacturing levels of output.

This shows the complexity of getting such precision instruments manufactured to the right quality levels.

But, how risky would it have been to have done nothing and be faced with a shortages of movements from your largest competitor (i.e. Omega/ ETA/ Swatch)?

Oh, one more thing to add here. In the engineering world, it is very rare for a company to start off with clean sheet designs, regardless of the product. First, it is too expensive, and second, it takes too long. Case in point – the V4. Look how long it took for that movement to go from design to production. It is far quicker and cheaper for a company to start with an existing design and modify it to work for the intended purpose.

@bla bla – Do you always believe everything every marketing campaign says? When is the last time any marketing campaign was 100% accurate? It’s called marketing for a reason. Half truths, embellishments, etc. It’s all to paint the product in the best light so you buy theirs over someone else’s. If a company can legally get away with saying something to make their product seem better they will.

No doubting A. Lange & Sohne’s credibility- but we’re talking very different price points to the Calibre 1887.

Anyway, irrespective of what marketing did or did not say six months ago, the watch will be in the stores soon meaning that everyone can pass judgment at the cash register…
