Reason why I wouldn't start a watch company

In addition to what Walter said, the marketing effort to position your brand would be very costly. Or at least very time consuming.

When I think about instagram and Facebook and running ads to position a new watch brand, it makes my head hurt. I don't want to do that kind of promotion. To me it's basically a look at how cool my watch looks type of branding and I hate that kind of stuff.

Why don't you imagine that the watch you've always wanted to make is complete. You have a 1000 units sitting at your house right now. How are you going to sell them?
