2. "Quiet Luxury" Still Rules the Dial

The "Old Money" aesthetic has evolved into Quiet Luxury 2.0. We are seeing a massive shift toward smaller case sizes (34mm to 38mm) and "stealth wealth" materials like brushed titanium and recycled platinum. If it’s flashy, it’s out. If it’s understated and impeccably crafted, it’s "coded."
