British resilience on show – anarchy averted (sorry experts of doom)



The best thing about 2016 has been the discrediting of pollsters, pundits and so-called commentators. All over the world these ‘analysts’ have called it wrong. They are the ones who have put the scare in people. Let us take each case



In June 2016 Brexit happened. First the poll said it was not happening. When it became apparent that it may become a possibility the experts said that the British economy will suffer. Well surprise of surprises; Brexit happened; the economy has not tanked, on the contrary the economy is doing rather well. The British pound is trading lower which is good as exports from UK are on the rise. The other spinoffs, Scotland threatened to hold another referendum; yet to happen and why; Europe is shaky; the Deutsche Bank crisis in Germany has put Angela Merkel on guard.

Take the US Elections. Same scenario with different actors; People threatened to immigrate to Canada if Mr. Donald Trump became President-elect. Nothing of that sort happened. Mexico is ready to open talks on NAFTA. What does all this mean? First do not believe the ‘experts’ and pollsters. Second British resilience is on display. The economy has fared better that predicted. Third Prime Minister Mrs. Theresa May is exhibiting excellent leadership skills.



This brings us to watchmaking skills in Britain. Two brands are making a statement. Arnold & Son and Graham watches. Both have British lineage; both have manufacturing facilities in Europe with distribution and marketing in UK. Perhaps it is time that manufacturing in Britain as a complete ‘Made in UK’ brand on the cards? The time is perfect; financing is not an issuer and the skills are in the British DNA.

A peek at Perpetual Time reviews in trustpilot.com (an online community) will reveal the depth of knowledge and skills that British watchmakers possess. In fact several Perpetual Time reviews express their appreciation for the excellent service and restoration of family heirloom timepieces.
