Long is gone the day that each company was a company fighting competition and share of the market, most brands are now the property of groups so a study and regular yearly price increase is solely to capitalize stock's asset and to maximize revenue just like that... Across Europe inflation is averaging a max. 3% yearly... and most salaries see their increase once every 3.6 years. By regrouping all those brands under a few roofs making cost should be at least maintained.
So the reason, well I see one, slowly and surely, it will tire old markets, because it is securely narrowing down those that can follow or justify those rules at toptop paid level! ...and in most cases craftsmanship has gone out of the windows!
One of the long established watch company... increases their prices every 3 years, this seems fair, square, justified and acceptable!
Anyway for myself, and I still presently consider myself one of the lucky, what I see coming in the future years ahead is that my passion will have a limited price.
