From a financial point of view I doubt a VC, or anyone else would invest in a small watch company just to flip it....there would be no money in that.



Thanks, amigo. I hope you're right that they're not VC. They don't move like a VC.

There's actually a lot of good value for a small company to be taken over by a bigger group. Going forward, based on Ansel Adams' blog, the big AD chains might be seeing tougher days ahead and many watch companies may actually be selling more through forums and the internet.

A smart VC/PE group might make moves on most of the well-known smaller brands, lord it over the price points of the market niche and have a good presence on the category. It would be like an LVMH strategy but on a smaller scale and on the lower price points --- and only through the internet.

Anyway, I'm speculating for suresmile4.gif .
