Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Marilisa Barbieri , Business Consultant and Luxury Brand Expert. I’ve found that the modern luxury consumer values time above all. (I previously wrote about the concept of time in the luxury space.) This is particularly true in post-pandemic times. With the comeback of face-to-face, luxury consumers are likely to be even more selective about how and with whom they spend their time. For many high-net-worth people, every minute is precious. In my experience working with clients in the luxury space, I’ve found that many won’t spend a second on something that doesn’t bring value to their life. I’m also noticing a trend in the luxury space of an appreciation for handmade goods with exquisite craftsmanship and products made by hand that require long hours to produce. Inspired by the ultimate luxury of time, an on-site calligrapher is one way brands can celebrate the lost art of handwriting and add value to their … [Read more...] about How To Leverage Handwritten Notes As Luxury Gifts For Clients

(CTN News) – The Covid-19 outbreak that officials say is at its peak crowded trains and buses across China on Friday, fueling fears of new outbreaks. Sun Chunlan, vice premier, said the virus was “relatively low”, while health officials said fewer Covid patients were hospitalized. However, China’s official account of a widespread outbreak that has overrun hospitals and funeral homes is widely disputed. Covid was unleashed on a population of 1.4 billion as a result of that policy U-turn following protests against government anti-virus measures. British-based health data firm Airfinity forecasts Covid fatalities could hit 36,000 a day next week in China, with more than 1 million expected to die. According to Xinhua, “the overall pandemic in the country is relatively low,” Sun said. Hospitals are having fewer critical patients, but rescue missions are still heavy.” Thousands of city dwellers will travel to their hometowns for the Lunar New Year holiday beginning … [Read more...] about Covid Outbreak In China Downplayed With Holiday Rush

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Married Swiss watch collectors, beware: these treasured timepieces can cause cataclysmic custody battles in divorce court. As New York-based marital law attorney Peter Bronstein related, “I have a case now in which a wife who was unhappy with her situation went to the family safe and removed a collection of watches that clearly belonged to the husband and moved them to a vault box that’s under her control before she filed divorce papers.” Bronstein, who is representing the husband, had a watch expert for his client’s side value his collection at over $600,000. The opposing side’s lawyer did not dispute the value. “As this litigation has been pending for three years,” Bronstein said, “my client’s watches have been held hostage for those three years.” Three years is indeed a long time, and as Eugene Tutunikov, co–owner and CEO of the online pre-owned Swiss watch retailer Swiss Watch Expo, mused, “Time literally is money, especially … [Read more...] about Why Swiss Watches Are Held Hostage During Divorce Proceedings
