I think as time goes on it will definitely impact the sales of fine watches.
As the separation between income groups grows bigger and bigger, and the next generation matures, I expect the next generation to have much less interest in mechanical devices.
Less interest in restoring old cars, or boats, less interest in "low tech" works of art we call fine watches, with new technology moving so fast it's hard enough to stay up to date.
I'm middle aged and still appreciate almost all things antique or retro, and definitely love and appreciate nice watches.
The next generation won't be able to read and write cursive, or tell time from anything but digital displays.
