Actually, just thinking about it, what Devialet needs is a little self belief. Have you looked at a Patek Philippe watch? People pay £40,000 or more for one of those and no matter how much I look at it it is just a plain, boring watch. Their latest product appeared in my FB page and I just thought that if they put a Mickey Mouse face on it I would be back to my days working in Timex. Rolex aren’t any better - my 10:year old Citizen has never needed adjusting, unless am in a country with no satellite access, or a battery or wound up. My pretty multi thousand pound Zenith languishes in a drawer somewhere, but at least it was slightly cheaper than a Patel Philippe or Rolex.
If I was marketing the Devialet Pro, I would be thinking that I have a pretty fine and refined product here that looks like its inherent qualities will stand the test of time. Who needs to reinvent the Swiss Army knife? Tart up the outer casing slightly, get rid of the annoying SD card and call it a major evolutionary upgrade. The underlying package delivers and delivers well. It is almost a work of art compared with its competitors and it should maintain that cachet.
