Harper Media: Eric Wind Quoted on Collectible Vintage Timepieces
Harper Media recently wrote ‘Investing in Luxury’ Within the article, Eric Wind is quoted on collectible vintage timepieces.
Vintage watch expert Eric Wind, owner of Wind Vintage, says: "Focus on condition rather than rarity as great watches in good condition are hard to find, are easier to sell, and are more likely to appreciate". Most modern luxury watches are down significantly from their peak in early 2022. "However, Rolex is pretty stable overall and sort of like the S&P 500 - not likely to skyrocket suddenly, but very liquid and solid in terms of value."
Some of the most obscure and exotic vintage brands the Universal Genève, which is in the process of restarting, have appreciated more than anything else. "Certain independent watchmakers are treated like living artists," Wind said.
He advised investors to cut through the hype and noise that you experience in any luxury goods market to find whatis truly valuable and uncommon. "There are a lot of Frankenstein and fake watches in the marketplace so it is important to buy from a seller who is known and trusted”.
