Podcast appearances and mentions of jean claude biver

This week on The Business of Watches, a veteran watch industry CEO who is taking on one of the biggest and most demanding challenges of his storied career. Julien Tornare is the head of Hublot, the irreverent and ground-breaking brand controlled by LVMH that's trying to reclaim some of its former glory and role as a trend-setter in industry innovation. An affable and talented business leader, Tornare has spent almost three decades in the watch world, with Vacheron Constantin and Richemont, and then as the chief executive of Zenith, where he oversaw a dramatic revival and upswing for the El Primero maker. He then had a brief tenure as the CEO of TAG Heuer, before joining Hublot as the big boss in 2024. Tornare talks about Hublot's turbulent journey over the past four decades, and the spirit that's reflected in the brand's unconventional and outspoken ambassadors. He also takes on the marque's critics, making the case for why the YouTuber shots are largely unjustified. As for where Hublot is going, that's partly where it has been, as Tornare discusses the influence of Hublot's Italian founder Carlo Crocco as the company reconsiders its legacy ahead of its 50th anniversary in 2030. There's also news of a major new partnership with legendary American artist Jeff Koons, who is bringing his artistic vision to the watch brand for the first time with a series of bold collaborations. We also discuss the role that Jean Arnault, long considered the true watch enthusiast in the Arnault clan, now has with the brand.

Richard Orlinski a choisi de tout quitter pour devenir artiste. Face aux refus qu'il raconte avoir rencontrés dans le milieu de l'art, il s'est appuyé sur son expérience d'entrepreneur pour tracer son propre chemin.Dans cet épisode de Serial Entrepreneurs, je reçois Richard Orlinski pour comprendre comment il a construit son parcours : ses premiers business, la création de son crocodile, ses premières sculptures vendues à perte et la place prise par le Kong dans son univers.Nous parlons aussi de son nom devenu une marque, de sa collaboration avec Hublot et de sa rencontre avec Jean-Claude Biver. Comment choisir ses partenaires ? Peut-on assumer le marketing sans renoncer à la création ? Pourquoi continuer à se remettre en question lorsque le succès est déjà là ?Richard évoque le regard de ses enfants sur son travail, son rapport à l'ambition et à l'échec, ses projets au-delà de la sculpture et la place de l'intelligence artificielle. Jusqu'à une confidence plus intime : sa peur de la mort et cette urgence de continuer à créer.Quel passage vous a le plus marqué ?

One of the most famous names in watch circles, Octavio Garcia is today the Creative Director for Gerald Charles. Previously, the American-born designer was Creative Director for Audemars Piguet during the all-important brand-building period from 2002-2015. Responsible for some of the most ground-breaking and sought after Royal Oak Offshore designs, including the famed series inspired by Formula 1 drivers such as Juan Pablo Montoya and Rubens Barichello as well as expanding the Millenary collection with extraordinary creations such as the Pianoforte, inspired by and paying homage to Quincy Jones.  Join us as we take a deep dive and discuss the extraordinary career of the Chicago-born designer. From the earlier days working with Jean-Claude Biver to the most logical step in creating his own brand, Gorilla Watches. Finally to today, and possibly the most natural progression, taking on design responsibilities for the brand created by the Maestro himself, Gérald Charles Genta, the designer who gave the world the Royal Oak for Audemars Piguet and the Nautilus for Patek Philippe as well as the Ingenieur for IWC and countless other enduring designs. Today the "Maestro" case design, penned by the late designer himself in the early 2000's, is like a gift to the talented Octavio Garcia. The unique and charismatic case provides a inviting challenge for creative design. Listen in as we discuss the latest creation unveiled at Watches and Wonders, a world first Perpetual Calendar with asymetrical movement, which perfectly compliments the unique shape of the Maestro case for an ideally balanced design. Listen in as we learn about the intricacies of the design's layout and the truly unique approach to the movement layout itself.  This unique episode provides a wonderful window into the creative approach and inspiration that drives Octavio Garcia as he continues to pen the incredible designs that will delight and provide timeless watches for today and generations in the future.  Thank you, as always, for downloading and listening to Keeping Time Podcast.

In this episode of Superlative, our host and aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams sits down with Marine Lemonnier-Brennan, founder and managing director of 289 Consulting, to explore the often unseen forces that drive the watch industry forward. Marine shares how her career evolved from the entertainment world into watchmaking, and how her experience helped shape a more strategic and globally connected approach to PR. Together, they unpack the critical role of relationships in an industry where success depends not just on great products, but on the people behind them and the stories that bring them to life. The conversation dives into Marine's time working with major brands like Vacheron Constantin and Hublot, her experience alongside Jean-Claude Biver, and the decision to build her own firm focused on supporting independent watchmakers. She explains how 289 Consulting bridges the gap for smaller brands that need global visibility but lack the resources of large groups, while also emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy ecosystem between brands, media, and retailers. Along the way, Ariel and Marine reflect on how the industry has evolved, why connection remains at its core, and what it takes for brands to stay relevant in a rapidly changing landscape.Check out 289 Consulting and Follow Marine:- Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/289consulting/ - https://www.instagram.com/marinelemonnier/ - Website - https://289consulting.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

A special episode dedicated the art of watchmaking with Jean-Claude BiverSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hublot has gotten a pretty bad rap in recent times. The brand is often dismissed as the butt of online commentators' jokes, but we don't feel this is entirely fair, so in today's episode, we're looking at the other side of things. RJ, Thomas, and Nacho have each whipped up three reasons why you should buy a Hublot or, rather, why one might consider buying one of the brand's watches. Before that, we briefly review the brand's history, from its inception in 1980 by Italian watchmaker Carlo Crocco to the Jean-Claude Biver chapter and the current stewardship of (former Zenith CEO) Julien Tornare. So, if you want to hear why we feel Hublot deserves more love than it gets, tune in to this week's episode.

Pierre Biver of J.C. Biver, Jasper Lifering of Amsterdam Vintage Watches, and Erik Gustafson of Hairspring Watches join me in three separate conversations to provide a holistic overview of stone dials.Over the past few years, stone dials have seemingly popped up everywhere. More modern brands are making them. At the same time, vintage examples have become more collectible and jumped in price considerably.But stone dials are still a relatively undiscovered corner of watch collecting. They're not well understood on the vintage or modern side.So I wanted to cover them on Hodinkee. Typically, we'd do this by talking to a few experts and synthesizing those conversations into an in-depth article. But I decided to try something different this time around, hitting record on three conversations to learn about modern stone dial production, vintage collecting, and everything in between.Our first conversation is with Pierre Biver, who started J.C. Biver with his father Jean-Claude Biver last year. Each of their releases has included a stone dial option. Then, I talk with two dealers. First is Jasper Lijfering of Amsterdam Vintage Watches, a vintage dealer and trained gemologist. Second is Erik Gustafson of Hairspring Watches, who has helped grow the scholarship around stone dials. We dive into the recent discussion around Rolex "obsidian" dials; as we'll discuss, this name isn't quite accurate and it shows how much there still is to learn about vintage watches, and stone dials in particular.I hope all three conversations give you a better understanding of stone dials. Note that I've tried to include links to an example of all stone dials mentioned in the audio, so check the show notes below if you're not sure what a particular stone looks like.Show Notes1:23: Hands-On: The Biver Automatique2:14: Hands-On: The Biver Carillon Tourbillon19:30: Hands-On: The Berneron Mirage Realizes Its Creator's Uncompromising Vision24:00: Hands-On: Baltic Prismic Stone Dial Limited Editions31:54: Amsterdam Vintage Watches33:35: In-Depth: How Piaget Defined The 1970s, And How It Can Do The Same Today38:15: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with Malachite dial39:16: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with Coral dial41:53: Dr. Helmut Crott's The Dial42:45: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with black Onyx dial43:15: Example of a Piaget Protocole with Lapis Lazuli dial43:28: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with Tiger's Eye dial45:20: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with Green Jasper dial46:30: Example of a Rolex Day-Date with Pyramid Onyx dial46:55: Jasper's white gold Datejust with Red Jasper dial52:05: Rolex Day-Date with 'Bloodstone' dial54:10: Hairspring Watches56:00: Hairspring's post about the "Obsidian" dial Rolex Datejust58:45: Recapping The Glamorous Day-Date Sale At Phillips (That Time The Average Day-Date Sold For $110,580)1:00:00: "Obsidian" Rolex at Phillips in 20201:02:30: Rolex Day-Date Khanjar with "Obsidian" dial that Loupe This described as "although it looks like an onyx stone dial, after closer inspection it appears the dial is a painted/ lacquer dial."1:11:37: Introducing: Audemars Piguet Brings Back The Starwheel (Live Pics) (including pics of a tropical Starwheel)1:11:58: Rolex Daytona ref. 116500 "Lemon" dial 

In this episode of the Wrist Check Podcast, Perri and Rashawn travel to Geneva, Switzerland, to meet with Pierre Biver of Biver Watches.

JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates speak with Jean-Claude Biver, president of JC Biver and a living legend of the watch world. He regales the hosts on his introduction to the industry 50 years ago; his time at Audemars Piguet; how he revived the historic brand Blancpain; his time running Hublot; and how he brought pizazz to Omega with help from Cindy Crawford and James Bond. He also reflects on how all those experiences are shaping what he and his son are doing at his new venture, the luxury watch brand, JC Biver.

Je suis très heureux de vous accueillir pour ce nouvel épisode,  Vous savez, je crois qu'un de mes plus grands plaisir dans la réalisation de ce podcast, c'est avant-tout de vous rendre accessible ceux qui font l'horlogerie, dans des échanges simples et vrais. Et là, en ce sens...l'épisode avec Jean-Claude Biver était une master class ! J'ai tellement hâte qu'il revienne dans l'émission, pour creuser encore et partager avec vous ces moments. Du pur bonheur...et encore une fois vous avez pété les compteurs d'écoute ! Ah, et pour les moins timides, Montrez-moi ce que vous portez et n'hésitez pas à poster votre montre du vendredi, sur fond d'écran du podcast ! Un peu comme on faisait l'an dernier, je republierai. Et maintenant, place à l'épisode #58 ! Après avoir eu Pauline et Valentin Lassaussois, je vous avais promis de recevoir le père, le créateur de la legacy, celui par qui tout a commencé... Et quel plaisir de le recevoir pour évoquer ses débuts, à une époque que les moins de 40 ans ne peuvent pas connaître, pour reprendre et modifier la célèbre chanson d'aznavour.  Une époque ou tout était à créer dans la distribution horlogère, et particulièrement dans la seconde main et le vintage, peu populaires à l'époque. Jean est un visionnaire, un observateur de son environnement, il écoute, réfléchi, projette et créé. Il l'a fait en repensant sa distribution mais également en ajoutant la pierre (précieuse) à l'édifice de son empire, à savoir la joaillerie.  Dans cet épisode, on parle des années 90, de vintage, de stars et de films, entre autres, le tout sur fond d'anecdotes. Bref, tout ce qu'on aime sur DM&V.  Vous voulez 1h30 de kiff, vous êtes au bon endroit  Je vous souhaite une très bonne écoute ! Hébergé par Ausha.

Jean-Claude Biver is one of the most important individuals in modern watchmaking, a man with a legendary CV and a long legacy. These days, though, it's his own name on the dial, and when Felix had a surprise interview at Dubai Watch Week, it was finding out how Biver senior has transitioned from running mega watch groups to working with a small family business. Of course, when you get the chance to chat with someone who's done it all, you ask the big questions about the future of the watch industry and whether or not it's selfish to put your own name on the dial.  But before all this, we get the second instalment of our chat with Zodiac's Mike Pearson and find out why the brand is focussing on its core. This episode is sponsored by Zodiac. Find out about their watches here, or if you're in Australia, check them out online and in person at Time+Tide. Cartier Curious? Join our Discord.

Today, Rob and Alon welcome the legendary force of nature that is Jean-Claude Biver to the show. An industry icon, Biver played a pivotal role in the renaissance of the Swiss watch industry following the tumult of the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s. He reinvigorated Blancpain, tripled the profitability of Omega (and managed to strap one onto James Bond's wrist for the first time, made Hublot a household name, and spearheaded TAG Heuer's increasing global visibility, molding it into the powerhouse brand it is today.If you've never heard Biver speak before, you're in for a treat...Time stamps:00:00 The start of the episode (seriously, it's worth listening to the whole thing...)13:00 The delicious cheese of Mr. Biver (it really is delicious)Follow the hosts on Instagram @robnudds and @alonbenjosephThanks to @skillymusic for the theme tune.

This week on the podcast, Zach Kazan joins Blake and Thomas to talk about one of the most unexpected releases of the year: the Norqain Wild One. Zach was in Switzerland for the launch of the Wild One, which employs a proprietary carbon fiber material called Norteq that makes it incredibly lightweight, robust, and can even be colored. Zach shares his thoughts on the watch and the rollout, and talks about the experience of interviewing the one and only Jean-Claude Biver. Later in this episode, the team chats about what it's like to turn on non-watch people to this incredibly niche hobby, and the whether we've successfully created any new enthusiasts through a strong recommendation. Has this ever happened to you?

Yeah, it was quite a good week in watch news, so check that out below.This week's sponsor is the Windup Watch Shop, where you can find watches from over 20 brands from Seiko to Oris.

Watchmaking legend Jean-Claude Biver, the wizard and mastermind behind the success of brands like Blancpain, Omega, and Hublot, joins this episode of The Accutron Show. Together with our hosts, Jean-Claude revisits key moments of his career and reveals how to give life to the soul of a watch. In a world dominated by rationality and technology, Jean-Claude Biver underlines the importance of dreams, spirituality, and love to make a difference in the luxury industry and in life. Tune into the journey with us.Episode Highlights11:00 I have always tried to put a soul into a product. Soul cannot come from a machine. The only way to infuse a soul into a product is through your hands, through your fingers and only human beings can give birth to something that has a soul. This also connects more with the person that wears the watch, it reminds us to dream. 33:28 A few times, I would take my people at night to the village cemetery, to visit the hundreds of people that have dedicated their love, their passion, and parts of their life to the brand. Love leaves a trace, love never disappears. 39:00 If God gave me the chance to have a second life, I would accept only if he gave me 100% the same life that I have lived. Otherwise, I would not accept the offer. Learn more about the Accutron watch here, and follow @AccutronWatch:InstagramTwitterFacebook Subscribe to this podcast on Apple Podcasts and Spotify to hear new episodes as soon as they're released. Follow our hosts on social media:Bill McCuddy: Facebook  / TwitterDavid Graver: Instagram  / TwitterJean-Claude Biver: Instagram  / Twitter
