On this week's episode of The Business of Watches, we head to Nidau, Switzerland, where we sit down with Ben Küffer, the young Chief Executive Officer of family-owned watch brand Norqain. It's a frank discussion of the challenges of starting a brand and creating a signature watch–the Norqain Wild One–at a time when the industry is crowded with competitors, and it's tough to stand out. We focus on Norqain's unique strategy of recruiting former and current professional athletes as not only brand representatives, but also investors and executives. The big news is Norqain's deal to be the official luxury timepiece of the National Hockey League, an agreement guided by former NHLer and Norqain co-founder Mark Streit with some help from superstar and company investor Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins. We also discuss the surprise success of Norqain's 'Enjoy Life' Freedom 60 chronograph that struck a chord with consumers with its ice cream-themed colors and endorsement by Mark Wahlberg to become the brand's top-selling watch. Despite that success, and perhaps in a bid to play the scarcity card, Norqain now says it plans to discontinue the model, at least for now. But first, we're joined by TanTan Wang, who is back from Colorado, and some quality time with Oris's new Big Crown Pointer Date 'Bullseye.' We also talk about the recent headlines in the watch world, including the proposed sale of Richemont's Baume & Mercier to Italy's Damiani Group, as well as Omega's very commercial 300M diver, which it is launching for the Milano Cortina Winter Games. Show Notes 1:57 Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Bullseye 3:15 TanTan's essay and the fight against watch snobbery 3:47 Richemont Sells Baume & Mercier 5:43 Omega Releases A White Ceramic Seamaster 300M For Milano Cortina 2026 9:40 Norqain 10:22 Mark Streit 11:10 Norqain Scores Multi-Year Sponsorship Deal With NHL Aimed At Vaulting Swiss Brands To The Big Leagues 12:03 Sidney Crosby Partners With Watch Company Founded By Former NHLers (ESPN) 18:00 Talking Watches With Jean-Claude Biver 19:55 Norqain Wild One 20:25 BIWI SA 26:00 Hands-On with the Norqain Wild One (Fratello) 30:40 Hands-On With the Norqain Freedom 60 40mm Enjoy Life (Fratello) 35:55 Norqain Independence Skeleton Chrono 42mm 37:31 Swiss watch export statistics 39:44 Swiss watch industry employment 45:00 Stan Wawrinka 51:30 Norqain world and values

The Convergence of Finance and Intelligence: The acquisition of dynamic pricing infrastructure expert Greenscreens.ai by the financial and technology company Triumph highlights a critical shift: the future of transportation is driven by combining secure financial transactions with AI-powered market intelligence for unmatched precision.

The Holistic Differentiator: The ultimate competitive edge is no longer achieved by focusing on a single metric (like the lowest rate). It is the strategic and integrated combination of technological Accuracy, financial Transparency, and deep industry Contacts (human and digital) that allows companies to "Transact Confidently."

Synopsis: At a moment when biotech is rethinking growth, innovation, and patient impact, Alok Tayi sits down with Christophe Bourdon, Chief Executive Officer of LEO Pharma, to explore what it truly means to build a purpose-driven, commercial-stage biotech. Drawing on three decades across Sanofi, Alexion, Amgen, and now LEO Pharma, Christophe shares a clear conviction: innovation only matters when it meaningfully changes patients' lives. At LEO Pharma, that belief is shaping a focused strategy in medical dermatology, where over one-third of the global population is affected and thousands of skin diseases still lack approved treatments. The conversation spans LEO Pharma's evolution into a nearly $2B growth company, the rise of first-in-class therapies in atopic dermatitis and chronic hand eczema, and why formulation science, rare disease execution, and “white-glove” patient support are essential to changing standards of care. Christophe also offers sharp perspectives on AI-enabled scouting, the accelerating innovation coming out of China, and why biotech must resist “me-too” products in favor of true clinical breakthroughs. From JPMorgan Healthcare Conference insights to deeply human stories of rare disease care at 4 a.m., this episode is a masterclass in disciplined growth, differentiated innovation, and patient-first leadership. Biography: Christophe joined LEO Pharma as CEO in April 2022 and has since led the company through a strategic transformation, sharpening its focus on innovation and external partnerships. Under his leadership, LEO Pharma has accelerated growth in key markets, advanced its pipeline, and strengthened its culture, reinforcing its position as a global leader in medical dermatology. Before joining LEO Pharma, he served as CEO of Orphazyme A/S. Earlier in his career, he held senior leadership roles at Amgen, including Senior Vice President and General Manager for the U.S. Oncology Business, and at Alexion as Senior Vice President, EMEAC, overseeing the commercial development of ultra-orphan therapies across 40 countries. Christophe holds an MBA from the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Lausanne, Switzerland, and a B.A. from the Institut Supérieur de Gestion (ISG) in Paris, France.

AI is revolutionizing healthcare, but it's also giving cybercriminals unprecedented speed, scale, and precision.In this episode of Straight Out of Health IT, Ali Pabrai, Chief Executive Officer at ecfirst, explores how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing cybersecurity risk management in healthcare. While AI is accelerating innovation in diagnostics, workflows, and operations, it is also expanding attack surfaces through new data flows, third-party tools, and global supply chains. Despite updated guidance from HHS, NIST, and HIPAA-aligned frameworks, the healthcare sector remains under intense pressure from threats. Ransomware attacks and large-scale breaches continue to disrupt clinical operations and expose patient data, underscoring the stakes for healthcare organizations.Ali stresses that cybersecurity can no longer be treated as a compliance checkbox but must be approached as an enterprise-wide resilience strategy. Attackers are using AI to launch faster, more personalized, and more targeted attacks, exploiting vulnerabilities in devices, cloud systems, and human behavior. At the same time, healthcare organizations face growing financial exposure through class-action lawsuits, regulatory settlements, and long-term corrective action plans. Persistent gaps in configuration management, patching, and workforce awareness leave many organizations vulnerable, despite lessons learned from prior breaches.The conversation underscores the importance of robust AI governance, grounded in HIPAA security programs, NIST's AI Risk Management Framework, state-level AI mandates, and integrated standards, such as HITRUST. Ali emphasizes the importance of conducting AI-focused risk assessments, improving ransomware readiness, and establishing clear AI risk management policies. He also underscores the importance of building AI literacy across the workforce to reduce social engineering and insider risk. Ultimately, the discussion frames AI as both a threat and an opportunity, with resilience depending on leadership, knowledge, and proactive governance.Tune in to hear how healthcare leaders can turn AI from a growing liability into a powerful tool for resilience and trust! ResourcesConnect with Ali Pabrai on LinkedIn here.Follow ecfirst on LinkedIn here and visit their website here.Check out the ecfirst AICRP program here!Read the NIST AI Risk Management Framework here!

In this episode, I sit down with Gary Stapleton to unpack the complexity of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and why it is so often overlooked in clinical practice. We discuss the true prevalence of SIBO, how it contributes to both digestive and systemic symptoms, and why accurate diagnosis is essential for meaningful treatment outcomes. Gary shares his expertise on breath testing as the cornerstone of proper SIBO diagnosis. We break down the differences between glucose, lactulose, and fructose substrates, explain when each should be used, and highlight common testing errors that can lead to confusion or misdiagnosis. This portion of the conversation brings clarity to a topic that is frequently misunderstood. We also explore how SIBO overlaps with other gastrointestinal and systemic conditions and why an individualized approach matters. This episode provides a practical framework for understanding SIBO testing and treatment and is essential listening for anyone looking to move beyond trial and error and toward precision based gut health care.   Key takeaways: SIBO is characterized by an abnormal increase of bacteria in the small intestine, often leading to digestive and systemic health issues. Accurate testing and proper preparation are crucial for a reliable diagnosis of SIBO. The choice of substrate (glucose, lactulose, fructose) plays a critical role in breath testing accuracy. Understanding the symptoms and co-occurring conditions of SIBO can guide effective treatment strategies. Collaboration between laboratories and healthcare practitioners is essential for optimal patient care and treatment outcomes.   More About Gary Stapleton:   Gary Stapleton is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aerodiagnostics, LLC, where he focuses on advancing diagnostic accuracy and improving clinical decision making in functional and gastrointestinal health.

With Jason Ozur, Founding Partner, Chief Executive Officer, Lido Advisors Overview As firms pursue scale, advisors face a critical question: how do you grow without compromising the client experience?

About this episode… Over the last decade, scale has become one of the defining themes in wealth management. Larger firms promise broader resources, deeper infrastructure, and expanded opportunity. But they also raise a fair question: at what point does growth begin to work against the client experience it's meant to enhance? That's the center of today's conversation. Jason Ozur and his partners at Lido Advisors have built one of the largest RIAs in the country, managing more than $40B in assets, while maintaining a family-office mindset and a distinctly client-first culture. What's notable is not just the firm's growth, but how intentionally it has been pursued. Jason talks about Lido's growth story and more with Jason Diamond, including: The real constraints on growth—and the roles of culture, capital, and clients. The role of the wirehouses in the modern landscape and how the RIA model differs. The realities of scale—and what it enables when done thoughtfully. The concept of “bigger is better”—and why Jason sees that as an oversimplification. Integration versus aggregation—and how Lido evaluates acquisitions. The evolving role of private equity in the RIA space—and why access to capital doesn't have to come at the expense of independence or client outcomes. It's a candid look at what sustainable growth actually means—and what advisors and owners should consider as firms across the industry continue to grow.
