Welcome to October! The front cover of this month's edition is a demonstration of the boundless opportunities that present daily within the Diamond District. A wide open, blank slate of possibility. Inside conveys a similar message. We take an interesting view of the newest enthusiasts of old world watchmaking and how their rejection of new timekeeping technology has dashed predictions of doom for the horological universe. We also take a close look at the almost absurd resilience of rising gold prices. Plus, a snippy swipe at various industry experts and their near-flawless ability to get things wrong. All that and our usual industry news and spotlights, market trends, crime report, and something new for small business owners. Enjoy!
