The Breitling Watch Source Forums

The dollar keeps dropping like a stone against the Swiss Franc (and most other currencies).

You won't see another price increase in the U.S. within the next year. Most brands have had a significant increase already and some have actually had two. One could easily argue that if someone in the U.S. has the means to buy a $6,000+ USD watch, they'll wait until they go out of country to purchase it (i.e. virgin islands, overseas, etc.)

Plus, the luxury watchmakers aren't as reliant on the U.S. market as much as they were in the past...we are no longer a "primary" market - we're falling lower on the food chain.

Unless the US$ continues to weaken in which case the increase will be forced in order to maintain relative pricing equality.
