Yeah, I see that too but I'm okay with it, servicing has improved and there's more certainty in longevity of the brand... Like Porsche needing to sell SUVs.

I'll be shopping the back catalog if the prices ever come back to earth.
What maybe grinds my gears more is the marketing. They intentionally chose to forget Zanetta in the origin story and I get it, they want the front man to be the one still with the company, but it leaves a hole in the story. Such a radical design needs to be explained by the artist and even if they don't want to credit Zanetta they do a disservice to the watches by ignoring the philosophy behind the aesthetic. Talking all day about balance wheel patents is great mental masturbation but that doesn't explain why those are in a watch that looks like an art deco space ship.
Q: Why did you make this watch?
WB: The market loves DB but the trend is to smaller watches with more unisex designs.
DZ: I had a fever dream where my body become a cloud of solar dust and when the earth passed through me all of human consciousness suddenly become clear and looked like a shimmering donut.

Starry varius (still has a celestial theme) and DB digitale (central sun and rotating hour/minutes) are the only models that I’m interested in
