Literally.

Some brands will handle price increases with ease, JLC will be sitting on heaps of inventory soon IMO. They went from bargain to ripoff faster than a Model S Plaid does 0-60.
Agreed. JLC has gone up, on average, almost 40% year over year, which is absurd. I admit that, for the quality, they were probably somewhat underpriced for a long time, but for me personally, most of JLC's models don't do much to "wow" me, so couple that with a substantial hike in prices, and i'm even less likely to want to pull the trigger on one of their timepieces from an AD. If I ever happen to see a JLC I want, you can be sure I'll be going gray.

Agree. JLC once the diamond in the rough, now pretending to be Vacheron Constantin.

Their newish CEO was tasked with improving the “luxury”’image of JLC. So I guess that just means increase prices with zero product innovations.
