Semi-OT: Audemars taking sales in-house

[1William]

I think that what AP wants and what the reality is are two different things. The boutique model works for small brands with little to no market share. Unless you are only going to sell in major metropolitan areas how do you reach the customer in other areas? What about service and after sale service. I believe that once the thought is worked through you will see some type of on-line presence, a boutique model and strong AD's. That is what makes the most sense.
