The second half of the 2000s was a curious time for the world of watches.
2011 to 2015 would witness the world emerging from the economic challenges, with its impact continuing to be felt as opinions changed towards core social topics.
2011 to 2015 would be a period of revivals in many ways across all categories of culture, as consumers felt nostalgia for years gone by, with the music and movie industry only too happy to oblige.
After the overt ways of the late 2000s, the beginning of the 2010s would feel like a much more intellectual pursuit in the watch world.
It is rather curious to reflect on the last five years where much of everyday life looks so different in 2020 to how it did just 12 months ago, but in a way it is the best summary of what this period has comprised of: vast amounts of change, compressed into a short time frame.
With so much that has occurred culturally in just a few short years, there are a few underlying themes that would certainly motivate some of the events that would ensue.
In the last few years, the watchmaking industry has seen an incredible amount of progress in such a short period, as outside factors have pushed the industry forward in ways that historically would simply have not occurred.
