If justice were done,the Swiss watch industry should have closed down when the Japanese discovered how to make accurate watches for a fivepound note.Instead the Swiss reinvented the watch,with the aid of millions of pounds’ worth of advertising,as a message about the man wearing it.Rolexes are for those who spend their weekends climbing icy mountains;a Patek Philippe is for one from a rich or noble family;a Breitling suggests you like to pilot planes across the world.

　　Watches are now classified as “investments” (投资).A 1994 Patek Philippe recently sold for nearly ￡350 000,while 1960s Rolexes have gone from ￡15 000 to ￡30 000 plus in a year.But a watch is not an investment.It’s a toy for selfsatisfaction,a matter of fashion.Prices may keep going up—they’ve been rising for 15 years.But when fashion moves on,the owner of that ￡350 000 beauty will suddenly find his pride and joy is no more a good investment than my childhood Timex.

　　.
