Products like watches, antiques, Star Wars toys, rely on fashion and money.


For instance, a lot of the antique market has depreciated badly as people want new modern homes with a modern look.


Stars Wars collectibles have lasted longer compared to other toy collections as Disney keep the franchise going and the original fans are at peak wealth. 


My brother in law loves watches but he is 65 and these days wears a smart watch. I never see him with one of his fancies.


I reckon in 20 years,  mechanical watches will go the way of Stamp collecting. There is heavy marketing to keep the industry alive especially with the Chinese market but it won't take much change much before watches are considered a relic of the past.
