A grand reorganization of the luxury watch business is happening in front of us, and nowhere is it more visible than in the diverging strategies of two holding companies making opposite bets on the future. Gabe and Asher unpack the contrast between Breitling, which under Georges Kern has quietly reconstituted itself as a private-equity-backed challenger group — bulking up through the acquisitions of Universal Genève and Gallet — and Richemont, the industry stalwart now actively slimming down, shedding Baume & Mercier and quietly walking Montblanc away from serious watchmaking. The conversation digs into what each move actually signals. Universal Genève's relaunch with full collections at Vacheron and Jaeger-LeCoultre price points, distributed through curated Breitling network partners, looks like a textbook play for cross-shop market share at the high end. Gallet's entry into the brutal sub-$5,000 segment is harder to explain — unless you read it as Kern building a fully diversified holding company with a long-term IPO in mind, willing to plant a flag in a difficult category before the cycle turns. Richemont's behavior reads as the inverse philosophy: get fit, exit segments where the math doesn't work, and protect margin around Cartier and the houses that still command pricing power. Along the way, Gabe and Asher get into the JLC management buyout rumors swirling out of Geneva, why the Mark Newson Memovox travel clock is the most genuinely interesting thing the brand has done in years, what Monbtlanc's absence from Watches and Wonders actually means, and why the agility of a young holding company is a real strategic asset that the legacy giants can't easily replicate. Market share is up for grabs in a way it hasn't been in a generation — and the next few years are going to redraw the map. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes. Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology.

This week on The Business of Watches, we talk to the man who runs the brand that makes the mighty El Primero movement. Benoit de Clerck has been in the CEO chair at Zenith Watches for a couple of years now, and that's coincided with a challenging time for the sector and one of the industry's most storied brands, with more than 160 years of history and still located in its original manufacturing location in Le Locle, Switzerland.  Under de Clerck's leadership, Zenith is responding to the challenges with a multi-pronged approach. It's throttling production to keep sell-in and sell-out balanced, he says. But it's also stepping up its movement, making production expertise and supplying more calibers to other brands, also under the LVMH watch group umbrella. As for those reports and rumors that Zenith is up for sale? We ask de Clerck straight up if the El Primero maker is on the selling block. Have a listen to hear his forceful and fulsome response.  But first, former Hodinkee editor Logan Baker drops in to give his take on Zenith, as well as reports that the valuation of Breitling has been reduced by its private equity ownership. Logan also has a few of his unique vintage Zenith watches on hand for us to check out.  Show Notes  1:30 Logan Baker (Hodinkee)  1:40 A Watch Enthusiast's Guide to Geneva (Logan Baker, Phillips)  2:34 Zenith Manufacture Le Locle  5:13 Zenith Chronometer Calatrava Circa 1964  6:50 Square case Zenith Defy with integrated bracelet  7:34 Zenith Elite Movement  9:45 Morgan Stanley Swiss Watcher Report  10:50 Private equity owners slash valuation of Swiss watchmaker Breitling (FT paywall)  13:15 Zenith Celebrates Its 160th Anniversary With CEO Benoit de Clerck (YouTube, Watch Adviser)  15:25 Hands-On: Zenith's Resurrected Caliber 135-Powered 'G.F.J.'

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, David, and Ripley kick things off with affordable watch enthusiasm before diving headfirst into industry introspection. The new VAER G2 Meridian GMT proves that a $399 quartz travel watch can still feel thoughtfully designed, well built, and genuinely useful, while David's latest “Grinding Gears” article tackles a much bigger issue: have major watch brands retreated into tiny echo chambers? From disappearing marketing ambition to confusing corporate growth expectations, the team connects the dots between brand communication, Morgan Stanley reports, and the shifting realities facing names like Omega and Breitling.Things escalate quickly from there. A nearly $2 million Richard Mille soccer watch attempts to track match periods, scores, and stoppage time in the most mechanically complicated way possible, sparking debate about purpose versus spectacle. The Brand Wheel of Death returns to eliminate Baume & Mercier while sparing Laurent Ferrier for a hypothetical fifty year reset, and Moritz Grossmann lives to spin again. It's the usual combination of market analysis, horological absurdity, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting.To check out the ABTW Shop where you can see our products inspired by our love of Horology:- Shop ABTW - https://store.ablogtowatch.com/To keep updated with everything Superlative, aBlogtoWatch Weekly, and aBlogtoWatch, check us out on:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ablogtowatch/- Website - https://www.ablogtowatch.com/- Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aBlogtoWatch If you enjoy the show please Subscribe, Rate, and Review!

Am Freitag hatte das oberste Gericht der USA entschieden, dass die von Präsident Trump verhängten US-Zölle nicht rechtens seien. Einige Schweizer Firmen wie die Uhrenhersteller Swatch und Breitling oder die Skimarke Stöckli verlangen deshalb ihr Geld zurück. Doch die Erfolgsaussichten sind gering. Weitere Themen: Der Ende Jahr abtretende Uno-Generalsekretär Antonio Guterres wählte drastische Worte vor dem Menschenrechtsrat in Genf. Die freie Welt sei im Niedergang, gekapert von Autokraten aus Politik und Wirtschaft. Seine Antwort auf diesen Niedergang: mehr Widerstand von unten. Wer einen Elektroroller fahren will, braucht dafür weder eine Prüfung noch ein Nummernschild und auch eine Helmpflicht gibt es nicht. Verkehrspolitikerinnen und -politiker kritisieren, dass es für die E-Roller kaum Vorschriften gibt und fordern Massnahmen.

Breitling hat eine Partnerschaft mit dem Aston Martin Aramco Formula One Team bekannt gegeben. Damit löst Breitling Girard Perregeaux als langjährigen Partner von Aston Martin ab. Als erste gemeinsame Uhr wurde eine Navitimer 43 im Titangehäuse vorgestellt. Um diese neue Partnerschaft zu diskutieren, hat sich Chris mit Felix Dachsel (Journalist und Uhren-Kolumnist beim Spiegel) einen kompetenten Ansprechpartner an die Seite geholt. Denn Felix hatte die Chance, die neue Navitimer bereits mehrere Tage ausgiebig zu testen. Wie den beiden die neue Uhr gefällt, weshalb Socken der nächste große Trend werden sollte und warum sie gänzlich verschiedener Meinung zur Partnerschaft von Breitling mit Aston Martin sind, erfahrt Ihr in dieser Episode des UhrTalks. Wir wünschen wie immer gute Unterhaltung!
