Qu'est-ce qui pousse quelqu'un à tout quitter pour révolutionner une pendule vieille de plusieurs siècles ?Marie-Aude Acker a grandi entre un père ingénieur et une mère enseignante, dans la région de Strasbourg. Un équilibre entre la précision technique et le goût de transmettre — deux fils qui, sans qu'elle le sache encore, allaient tisser toute sa trajectoire professionnelle. Car avant de cofonder Keris, elle a traversé quelques-unes des maisons les plus emblématiques de l'industrie : Tag Heuer, Bulgari, Zenith. Un parcours construit à la force des rencontres et des défis relevés, un par un.Et puis, un jour, une conversation avec un collègue change tout. De cette discussion naît une idée folle : revisiter la pendule Neuchâteloise. Une ambition fondatrice qui, comme souvent dans l'entrepreneuriat, a évolué vers quelque chose de tout autre — une entreprise qui invite aujourd'hui à découvrir l'horlogerie et la beauté mécanique à une échelle nouvelle, inattendue.Car c'est ça aussi, l'aventure entrepreneuriale : savoir pivoter sans se perdre. Réinventer sans renoncer à l'essentiel.Dans cet épisode, Marie-Aude revient sur tout ça : ses années dans l'industrie, le déclic de l'entrepreneuriat, et la vision qui anime Keris aujourd'hui.Si tu veux nous poser une question ou simplement discuter, ça se passe ici, sur ▶️ Instagram ◀️Si tu veux partager le podcast à un ami, tu peux utiliser ce lien : MERCI DU PARTAGEHébergé par Ausha.

Quatre jours de salon, plus de 60 exposants, des centaines de montres entre les mains. Avec Marine Ulrich, journaliste spécialisée en horlogerie, on revient sur une édition 2026 qui restera comme celle du retour à la raison. Au menu : la fin du gigantisme et la convergence vers le 36-38 mm, le retour assumé au classicisme chez Cartier, TAG Heuer, Oris et Roger Dubuis, le cinquantenaire de la Nautilus chez Patek, les 100 ans de l'Oyster chez Rolex, le centenaire Tudor et le pari Monarch. Et au milieu de ce consensus, quelques folies : la Reebok Pump de H. Moser, le chrono invisible de Parmigiani, le premier chrono manufacture français signé Pequignet. Nos coups de cœur, nos désaccords, et ce qu'il faut retenir d'un salon plus stratégique qu'il n'y paraît.

One of 6 partners in a true horological supergroup, we are thrilled to welcome Emmanuel Jutier as he joins us on Keeping Time Podcast.  Artime Créations was founded approx 20 years ago with some of the most talented individuals in the industry. The background of the members includes Renaud et Papi (Audemars Piguet, Richard Mille etc), Gruebel & Forsey, Breguet, Philippe Dufour, FP Journe, Minerva and Tag Heuer. The depth of knowledge within this collective is unequaled in watchmaking. The company continues today as an important supplier. However, this group of talented creators decided to also create their own brand, ARTIME. Released just a couple of years ago, Artime showed their first watch, ART01, a remarkable Tourbillon with a unique, patented approach to suspending the open-worked movement within the case, no base-plate per se. This year in Geneve, the brand caught the attention of Jeremy and Melissa (Oster Jewelers) with the remarkable and stunningly beautiful ART02. Oster Jewelers is proud to be one of a handful of retailers worldwide selected to represent Artime.  Listen in as we learn and discover what makes this assembly of talent unprecedented. We discuss the partners and the incredible knowledge and history that is carried forward to the Artime brand. We discuss the philosophical approach that is evident with the first 2 creations. We also go in-depth into the details, construction and level of technical sophistication combined with traditional finishing at the highest level that is clearly evident with every rare and special piece created in the Artime workshops.  As always we hope you enjoy this captivating conversation and, if not already familiar with ARTIME, that you enjoy discovering a true gem at the very highest level of the watchmaking world. Thank you, as always, for downloading and listening to Keeping Time Podcast. The ultimate compliment is if you would share Keeping Time with your friends and, of course, if you could take a moment to post a favorable review on your chosen podcast platform. Visit the Keeping Time Podccast blog page for corresponding photos  and the complete podcast listing. Please reach out with any comments, suggestions for guests etc directly at keepingtime@osterjewelers.com.

This week, we are continuing our deep dive into the fascinating connection between watches and space exploration!

Man, I don’t know how else to say this — this one got me. I sat down with Christian Zeron, the guy behind the Theo N. Harris Instagram, and what started as a watch-world conversation turned into one of the most honest, wide-open talks about hunting, identity, manhood, and what it means to find something that actually moves you. That’s the kind of episode this is. Christian grew up in New Jersey selling vintage Rolexes in college and built a marketing company around it. He’s sharp, he’s articulate, and — up until about six months ago — he had zero connection to the hunting world. Then a client invited him on a hunt in Kentucky and, well, here we are. He killed his first turkey this spring, he’s already got hog hunts lined up in Texas and a dove trip to Argentina on the books, and the guy is all in. Completely, unapologetically, joyfully all in. What I love about Christian is that he brings this fresh set of eyes to our world. He’s not pretending to be someone he’s not. He’s a Ralph Lauren, vintage shotgun, lever-action rifle kind of guy who gets genuinely emotional talking about his late grandfather while butchering his first bird. That’s real. That’s the stuff hunting is actually made of, and it’s the stuff that’s really hard to explain to people who haven’t lived it. We go deep on the watch world and what Rolex figured out about aspiration and identity that most brands never do. We talk camo as identity, Sitka vs. First Lite, Yeti coolers, LVMH, Omega, Casio — and somehow it all connects back to hunting, brand building, and what it means to be a man who collects experiences instead of just stuff. Plus, we dig into what I’m trying to build with Bridger Watch and Christian gives me some real, unfiltered marketing advice on how to position it against Garmin and Apple. This is the kind of conversation that makes you want to call your old man, fire up a steak, and go outside. Strap in. Episode Sponsors onX Hunt If you’re serious about hunting out west, onX isn’t optional — it’s foundational. We’re talking land ownership, access layers, terrain intel, and a full suite of tools built for every phase of the hunt: planning, preparation, and execution. The difference onX makes is simple. It’s confidence. Confidence that you’re in the right spot. Confidence that you’re legal. Confidence that you can find your way back to the truck when the day goes long and the country gets weird.

Website: onxmaps.com Bridger Watch I set out to build a better smartwatch for the hunting community — plain and simple. I was frustrated. I kept pulling my phone out 100 times a day to check onX in the field and thought, why can’t we just have the map on our wrist? So we went down the rabbit hole and built what I genuinely believe is the best smartwatch ever made for hunters. If you’re a watch guy and a hunter, this was built for you. Use code TRO at checkout.

Hunting Connects You to Something Bigger Than the Kill Christian’s story about his late grandfather flooding back while he was butchering his first turkey is one of the most honest descriptions of why hunters hunt that I’ve heard in a long time. The harvest, the meat, the field dressing — it all becomes this vessel for memory and emotion and people you’ve lost. And it’s something you genuinely cannot explain to someone who hasn’t felt it. If you’ve ever felt your dad or your grandfather or someone you loved in a duck blind or a wall tent, you know exactly what Christian is talking about. That feeling doesn’t go away. It doesn’t get old. That’s why we keep going back. 2. Identity Is at the Core of Every Purchase Decision — Hunting Included Christian has been living inside luxury brand psychology for over a decade, and watching him apply that lens to the hunting world is genuinely eye-opening. Whether it’s Sitka gear, a Yeti cooler, or a vintage duck camo jacket — we are all making identity statements with every piece of kit we buy. And what’s fascinating is that hunters, who largely pride themselves on being no-nonsense, practical people, are actually some of the most identity-driven consumers out there. The trophy room, the curated camp setup, the brand of camo you wear — it all means something. Knowing that isn’t a bad thing. It’s human nature. 3. Lead With the Tool — Let the Lifestyle Follow Christian’s marketing insight for Bridger Watch — and honestly for any product in the outdoor space — is worth writing down. The temptation is to lead with the vibe, the lifestyle, the beautiful photos. But for a product that has genuine technical superiority in a specific use case, the smarter play is to lead with education and product proof first, and let the lifestyle layer build behind it. Rolex works because it’s 90% signal and 10% tool. A hunting watch should be the opposite: 90% tool, 10% signal. Prove what the product does for real people doing real things, and the identity follows naturally.

Hey Watch Fanatics,Watches and Wonder online has gone to the short format of content. The 2026 show looked amazing and the watches there did not dissapoint.We look at some new offerings from IWC, TAG Heuer, and Hermès.Like WatchFanatics.ca on Facebook Follow David @watchfanaticdavid on InstagramANDPlease check out Carol atIG: @spassense

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the crew dives headfirst into the watch industry's current identity crisis and asks a simple question: who are luxury watch brands actually selling to right now? From pricing debates and shifting market expectations to the strange gap between branding and real world execution, the conversation gets surprisingly honest about where parts of the industry may have lost the plot. Ariel also shares thoughts from his latest Watches and Wonders recap article, while the team debates how brands are struggling to connect with collectors in a changing market.Along the way, Rick recounts a baffling experience at the London Marathon where official sponsor TAG Heuer seemed nearly invisible despite heavy branding, sparking a larger discussion about missed marketing opportunities and why some watch companies still feel disconnected from their audience. There is also plenty of classic ABTW Weekly chaos, including a surprisingly passionate debate about expensive plastic watches, trade show swag etiquette, Monaco opinions, and Rick's apparently “invisible” glasses. As always, it is part industry insight, part group therapy, and part watch nerd rabbit hole that somehow makes perfect sense by the end, (kind of).

Fresh off the floor at Watches & Wonders 2026, the aBlogtoWatch Weekly crew breaks down the watches, booths, and brand decisions that stood out most from this year's show. From ranking the best displays and swag to debating which brands delivered and which ones missed the mark, Ariel, Rick, David, and Ripley share their firsthand impressions after spending the week in Geneva. There is plenty of discussion around standout presentations, the return of after-hours energy, and why some booths felt more memorable than the watches themselves.The team also dives into the latest releases from brands like Patek Philippe, Rolex, H. Moser & Cie., TAG Heuer, and Ulysse Nardin, with opinions ranging from genuine admiration to total confusion. Along the way, they debate value, wearable sizing trends, booth theatrics, strange collaborations, and whether some luxury brands are finally rethinking how expensive a watch really needs to be. As always, it is equal parts industry insight, strong opinions, and the kind of watch talk that only makes sense after a very long week in Switzerland.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!________________________________________** YouTube Monetization ID for Copyright Material From PremiumBeat.com: #3826449

O trágico acidente de Ayrton Senna, morto depois de bater seu carro na Curva Tamburello do autódromo de Ímola, durante a disputa do Grande Prêmio de San Marino de 1994, completa 32 anos no próximo dia 1° de maio. Nestas mais de três décadas, surgiram gerações que não tiveram a oportunidade de acompanhar o dia a dia da carreira do piloto brasileiro. Mas nem o tempo foi suficiente para apagar a imagem de Senna. A cada ano que passa, o legado do tricampeão mundial de Fórmula 1 se fortalece. Marcio Arruda, enviado especial da RFI a Luxemburgo Imagine agora, em 2026, ver de perto o verdadeiro carro que Ayrton Senna pilotou e venceu pela primeira vez na Fórmula 1? Este e outros modelos guiados pelo brasileiro podem ser apreciados em um único lugar na Europa. Na capital de Luxemburgo, uma exposição sobre o brasileiro tricampeão mundial na virada dos anos 80 para os 90 atrai olhares de fãs da Fórmula 1. O novíssimo centro de convenções Gridx organiza a “Ayrton Senna Forever”, uma homenagem imersiva que reúne carros de competição e itens usados pela lenda brasileira em sua carreira. “Nós trabalhamos com exposições temáticas e esta é a nossa primeira, que começou aqui no ano passado no nosso museu", explica o gerente da galeria 610 da Gridx, Alex Jacoby. "Queríamos começar com algo muito grande, muito especial. E o Ayrton Senna é uma lenda e muita gente adora o Senna. Então, era algo que queríamos fazer. E é uma grande honra ter esta exposição conosco agora”. Máquinas voadoras Cinco modelos de Fórmula 1 chamam a atenção de quem visita a mostra. Todos esses carros foram marcantes na trajetória do brasileiro, que disputou 11 temporadas na Fórmula 1 e foi contemporâneo de Niki Lauda, Nelson Piquet, Nigel Mansell, Mika Hakkinen, Michael Schumacher e Alain Prost. Leia tambémImprensa francesa presta homenagem a Senna, 30 anos após a morte do ídolo da Fórmula 1 Duas das três Lotus que Senna guiou na carreira estão em exposição. A vedete é a Lotus-Renault 97T, carro nas cores preta e dourada que ajudou Senna a alcançar sua primeira vitória na F1, conquistada no GP de Portugal de 1985 disputado debaixo de um temporal. A outra Lotus é o modelo 99T, da temporada de 1987. Naquele ano, o piloto brasileiro usou motores Honda e conquistou a primeira de suas seis vitórias no GP de Mônaco. O triunfo nas ruas do Principado foi o primeiro de um carro equipado com suspensão ativa, tecnologia que ficou mundialmente conhecida em 1992, ano em que os carros da equipe Williams dominaram a categoria. “Temos todos os carros lendários dele, como a Lotus 99T e a 97T. Temos, também, a McLaren MP4/6 e um de seus últimos carros: a Williams FW16”, detalhou Jacoby. O modelo da Williams, que não é o carro que sofreu o acidente na Tamburello, foi pilotado pelo brasileiro em 1994. Este F1 está em um pedestal ao lado de uma barra de direção fabricada pela Williams, peça similar àquela que causou o acidente do brasileiro no GP de San Marino daquele ano.  A McLaren, segundo o gerente da galeria 610 da Gridx, é o único carro do salão que não foi pilotado pelo tricampeão. “Todos os carros que estão aqui são originais, exceto o MP4/6, que acabou sendo vendido e, por isso, não podíamos mais ficar com o carro. Mas todos os outros que estão aqui são os que foram pilotados por ele.” A McLaren-Honda exposta na “Ayrton Senna Forever” é o modelo que foi para as pistas na temporada de 1991, ano em que Ayrton conquistou seu terceiro título mundial de Fórmula 1 por esta escuderia inglesa; antes, ele foi campeão em 1988 e 1990. O carro que está neste salão é original da equipe britânica, mas foi adesivado para ficar com a identidade visual que o brasileiro usou naquela temporada, como o número um no bico e no aerofólio traseiro, e o nome de Senna com a bandeira do Brasil no santantônio. Além dos três telões que exibem continuamente imagens de momentos que construíram o mito Ayrton Senna, a mostra resgata grande parte da carreira do piloto brasileiro na Europa, inclusive seus primeiros anos antes de entrar na Fórmula 1. O Fórmula Ford 2000, com o qual Senna foi campeão britânico e inglês em 1982, é uma das raridades que estão no local. Outra curiosidade é um carro menos badalado pelos fãs do brasileiro: o Toleman-Hart TG184 que Senna guiou no ano de sua estreia na Fórmula 1, em 1984. Jacoby lembra que esse foi um dos seus primeiros carros de Fórmula 1. "Temos exatamente aqui aquele carro, aquele chassi que competiu em Mônaco”, detalha. Aquela corrida nas ruas encharcadas de Monte Carlo foi inesquecível para a torcida brasileira, que até hoje aposta que Senna seria o vencedor, caso a prova não tivesse sido interrompida antes da metade. Além do segundo lugar no GP de Mônaco, Senna conquistou outros dois pódios com a Toleman naquele ano: um terceiro lugar na Inglaterra e outra terceira colocação em Portugal. Além dos carros de Fórmula 1 e de outras categorias, é possível admirar objetos que foram usados pelo tricampeão mundial, como bonés, balaclavas – aquelas máscaras que os pilotos usam sob o capacete para se proteger do fogo, em caso de incêndios –, luvas, sapatilhas e capacetes de diferentes anos.    Há também um espaço com macacões de diversas temporadas e algumas raridades, como o usado por Senna no campeonato mundial de kart de 1979, quando ele foi vice-campeão. Outra curiosidade é o modelo vestido pelo piloto em testes particulares da Lotus no Estoril, em Portugal, em 1987. “Esta exposição mostra capacetes e motores de kart que ele usou. O motor Lamborghini que ele testou com uma McLaren também está no nosso museu. Além disso, temos um monte de coisas interessantes, como um relógio TAG Heuer que ele esqueceu uma vez num hotel na Itália”, revelou. Apesar de ter competido na temporada de 1993 com a McLaren-Ford, o brasileiro fez uma sessão de testes com o modelo da equipe equipado com motor Lamborghini, em setembro daquele ano, no autódromo do Estoril, em Portugal. O relógio foi esquecido em 1991 por Ayrton num hotel na cidade de Castel San Pietro Terme, onde ele se hospedava nas semanas do Grande Prêmio de San Marino, na região da Emília-Romagna, na Itália. Leia tambémHermano da Silva Ramos, piloto mais velho da história da F1, chega aos 100 anos “Para mim, o Senna é lendário. A tragédia que aconteceu com ele, de certa forma, foi muito importante para o desenvolvimento da segurança da Fórmula 1. Depois do acidente dele, muita coisa mudou para tornar a F1 mais segura, dando maior atenção à segurança dos pilotos”, explicou. Para poder visitar a “Ayrton Senna Forever”, é preciso correr. A exposição está na reta final e próxima da bandeira quadriculada. A mostra dos carros e objetos que ajudaram Ayrton Senna a lapidar sua genialidade vai acabar no próximo dia 10 de maio. A exposição “Ayrton Senna Forever” é um mergulho na carreira do brasileiro, que hoje, mais de 30 anos depois de sua morte, continua a inspirar pilotos e fãs não só no Brasil, mas em todo planeta.

This week on The Business of Watches, we get to the heart of what makes a mechanical or quartz-powered watch tick. Jean-Claude Eggen is the Chief Executive Officer of La Joux-Perret, a Swiss movement manufacturer that's on the rise as it competes with rivals, including Sellita, as a supplier to brands ranging from mainstream mass market players such as TAG Heuer to upstart micro-brands, including Kollokium.  Eggen doesn't pull punches when discussing what's driving growth at LJP as he talks prices, movement development, and technology, and how to keep clients coming back. LJP has experienced massive increases in volumes and production under his leadership since 2020. From fewer than 10,000 movements annually less than a decade ago, LJP is now producing about 200,000 watch movements a year. He tells us how they got here and where they might go next, with new products boasting greater precision and smaller movements in both quartz and mechanical.  But first, a good news initiative about a new non-profit organization in Switzerland that's looking to give young watchmakers the skills and machines they need to carry on the metiers d' art (or specialized skills) that make high-end watchmaking so unique. Baudouin van Es is the young man behind Tad Kozh, and he drops by to tell us what the new program is and where it gets its unusual name. Van Es has convinced some heavy hitters to help out with Tad Kozh, gathering a who's who of industry artisans, craftspersons, and veteran business executives to oversee and govern the program, with some exciting watch collaborations to come.

Welcome to another episode of Fratello On Air. This week, we hop into our time machine and travel back 10 years to 2016. As we'll see, in some ways, this wasn't so long ago. Yet, in others, it was a different lifetime. Join us as we look back on fonder days.HandgelenkskontrolleIt's been a while since we've recorded, and much of this is down to Mike's travels in Germany. Sadly, on one of the trips, he had a very Balazs-like travel experience involving planes and trains. If he did have a time machine, he'd probably go back and choose to sleep through his alarm that day. We mention an upcoming Sotheby's auction featuring a pair of Michael Jordan's shoes from the Dream Team Barcelona Olympics. Balazs discusses the return of The Night Manager, a show that, coincidentally, has returned after its first season in 2016! For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Balazs is wearing an upcoming release, the Nivada Grenchen F77 MKII. Mike was wearing his Rolex Sea-Dweller 1665 "Great White" in Germany and still has it on his wrist.Taking our time machine back to 2016Yes, it's hard to believe that 2016 was 10 years ago! Time flies! In this episode, we're reminiscing about a year that brought some interesting releases and behavior. Specifically, vintage watches were within a boom period. In particular, a Patek Philippe 1518 sold at Phillips for over CHF 11 million! It was hard for us to believe that watches were achieving these sums a decade ago.Many new watches from back then still feel relatively modern, but there's no doubt that larger diameters and chunkier cases were in vogue. The Blancpain Bathyscaphe Blue and Ceramic is a good example of this, but to be fair, the same basic platform is still in the catalog today. Speaking of big and robust watches, Robert-Jan reviewed the Sinn U212, which still looks fresh. If we truly want to feel old, Tudor was already in its second year of offering non-ETA movements. Omega launched a rare box-office stinker with the blue and white CK2998, a piece that has aged quite well.Our time machine continues its journey and finds the wild Hublot Big Bang Berluti, which was available in gold or steel and showed off a leather dial. Seiko, announced a partnership with PADI. This caused a stir, and several of us on the team grabbed one of the new models. TAG Heuer announced a Monza PVD, a retro chronograph with a thick case. However, we save the most significant announcement for last. Rolex, after producing steel Daytona 116500LN models with a steel bezel for over 25 years, introduced pieces with ceramic bezels. Understandably, the excitement was palpable and hit Basel like a hurricane. We remark that these watches have been unavailable since that time!We hope you enjoy today's episode. Share your watch memories from 2016 in the comments below, and let us know if we forgot any momentous pieces.

This we're back with our fabulous friend Craig, a.k.a. @thewatchwatch_And we're discussing Tudor and its place in the market, CPO and why Tudor isn't ready for it, NOMOS, TAG Heuer, Darren gives us a Sher Watch update, and we discuss where Craig's collection may go next.Big thanks again to Craig for his time and excellent company.

This week on the podcast we're talking all things LVMH Watch Week. Last week's launches from the LVMH brands served as the unofficial start to a new year of watch releases, with novelties on display from TAG Heuer, Zenith, Hublot, and other brands. In this episode, Zach Kazan chats with Zach Weiss, Garrett Jones, and Liam O'Donnell about their thoughts on the new watches, what they may or may not predict for the rest of the year, and of course what worked and what didn't when they saw the new pieces in person. Let us know in the comments what you think of the new LVMH Watch Week releases, we'd love to hear your thoughts on specific novelties or what you might glean about brand strategy from what was unveiled last week.  To stay on top of all new episodes, you can subscribe to The Worn & Wound Podcast on all major platforms including Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify, and more.

Summary:In this episode, we discuss the recent Louis Vuitton Watch Week, where we critique the new releases from TAG Heuer, particularly the larger Carrera models, and discuss the implications of size changes in watch design. We also touch on the competitive landscape of luxury watches, highlighting the challenges faced by brands like TAG Heuer and Zenith, and the need for these companies to adapt to market demands and consumer preferences.As the episode progresses, we delve into the complexities of brand identity and market positioning, particularly for Zenith, which we feel has lost its way. We discuss the importance of understanding consumer perceptions and the need for brands to innovate rather than simply rehashing old designs. Timestamps:00:00 Introduction and Listener Engagement03:45 Louis Vuitton Watch Week Highlights04:57 TAG Heuer's New Releases10:57 The Challenges of Luxury Brands19:25 The State of Zenith and Brand Identity40:10 Reflections on the Watch IndustryGive us a follow, and feel free to reach out to us on Instagram: @lumeplottersOr… leave us an audio comment using the link below, and we may just play it in an upcoming episode: https://www.speakpipe.com/lumeplotters

In this episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly, the team dives headfirst into the watch media identity crisis sparked by Ariel's recent essay on who actually pays for honest coverage and why everyone seems to want it without footing the bill. The conversation then shifts into the uncomfortable reality of independence, sponsored content, and where the line gets drawn in a very small industry. From there, things take a sharp turn into horology with a deep discussion of a very serious watch that also happens to look suspiciously like Mickey Mouse. Ariel breaks down Breguet's high frequency chronograph history, magnetic escapement technology, and why the brand is simultaneously capable of brilliance and baffling aesthetic decisions.The episode then moves through the not quite LVMH Watch Week releases, including Louis Vuitton's Escale complications explosion, which quickly devolves into an on air world timer geography quiz no one was prepared for. Along the way, TAG Heuer's latest Seafarer revival sparks a spirited debate about tide complications and dog walking use cases, raising the question of whether modern watches sometimes try a little too hard. The group also touches on TAG's ongoing CEO turnover, broader brand direction questions, and why some watch companies appear to be having fun while others absolutely are not.As always, tune into their conversation this week to hear a blend of industry insight, watch nerdery, and exactly the kind of chaos that makes aBlogtoWatch Weekly feel less like a roundtable and more like group therapy with bezels.Check out this week's sponsor - Movado Watches:- https://www.movado.com/ 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!

Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 746! In this episode, we unpack LVMH Watch Week in depth, starting with TAG Heuer's latest Carrera split-seconds chronograph, its technical merits, value,... The post Scottish Watches Podcast #746 : LVMH Watch Week Winners Plus The Latest Watch News appeared first on Scottish Watches.

On this week's The Business of Watches, we head to Villeret, Switzerland, and the storied Swiss watchmaker Minerva. The brand, founded in 1858, is truly the jewel within Montblanc's watchmaking division, which itself is part of Swiss luxury conglomerate Richemont. Laurent Lecamp is the man leading Montblanc and Minerva's watchmaking operations, and he sat down with us for a detailed discussion on Minerva and what he's doing to satisfy the clients that he calls "fans" and not customers. Montblanc and Minerva won't be participating in Watches and Wonders this year, and Lecamp outlines the different paths that the brands are taking within the Richemont group. He also talks about his penchant for running extreme marathons, sometimes wearing a Minerva or Montblanc timepiece. But first, a new format to start the show. We're joined by Hodinkee senior business editor, Mark Kauzlarich, to chew over some of the business headlines making news in the watch world. We talk about potential executive changes in the top job at TAG Heuer and also discuss what we think the business strategy might be behind Omega's new Speedmaster that boasts a ceramic bezel, lacquered dial, and a new price tag. Show Notes 0:30 Montblanc / Minerva 0:45 Audemars Piguet And Ten More Brands To Join Watches And Wonders For 2026 1:00 Minerva Is The Watchmaking Jewel Within Montblanc And Showcases Its Talents With A New Art Piece (Hodinkee) 2:00 Business Montres 3:50 TAG Heuer 5:20 LVMH Watches and Jewelry 7:10 Jean-Christophe Babin (Instagram) 8:50 The Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Black & White (Hodinkee) 12:00 Hands-On The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean For 2025 (Hodinkee)15:30 Villeret, Switzerland 16:36 Laurent Lecamp (Instagram) 17:40 GIA (Gemology Institute of America) 19:50 Cyrus Watches23:00 Example of Minerva bezel 26:00 Montblanc's New Minerva Monopusher Chronograph (Hodinkee) 28:20 Montblanc Club M58 (Watchonista) 43:12 Montblanc Star Legacy Suspended Exo Tourbillon Château de Versailles (YouTube)48:10 Richemont 51:00 Montblanc Ice Marathon (Revolution) 

In this episode of Superlative, host and aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams sits down with professional big wave surfer and TAG Heuer brand ambassador Kai Lenny for an in depth conversation about risk, preparation, and what timing really means when nature is in full control. Growing up in Hawaii with some of the most powerful surf breaks in the world just minutes from his home, Kai explains how learning to read the ocean from land shaped his approach long before he ever paddled into massive waves, and why wave selection is as much a mental calculation as it is physical commitment. The discussion explores the realities of big wave surfing, from the physics of underwater pressure and the danger of impact over drowning, to the evolving role of safety equipment, communication systems, and training that allow surfers to operate at the edge of survivability. Ariel and Kai also unpack why surfing is fundamentally a time based sport, how tides, wave sets, and forecasting dictate every decision, and why a reliable dive watch remains a critical tool even in a world of advanced analytics. Along the way, Kai shares how working closely with TAG Heuer goes far beyond sponsorship, offering insight into testing watches in conditions that cannot be simulated on land, providing real world feedback on durability and ergonomics, and drawing inspiration from Swiss watchmaking craftsmanship to refine his own approach to equipment, performance, and constant improvement. The conversation closes with a thoughtful reflection on parenthood, legacy, and how confronting nature's power reshapes perspective, revealing why for those who live at the extremes, timepieces are not just accessories but quiet companions that measure moments most people will never experience.Follow Kai and check out TAG Heuer Watches:Kai - https://www.instagram.com/kai_lenny/ TAG Heuer - https://www.tagheuer.com/ SUPERLATIVE IS NOW ON YOUTUBE!

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, Ripley, and David stumble headfirst into a horological fever dream that begins with their favorite Christmas gifts and quickly escalates into “God complex watches”, starting with Vacheron Constantin's wildly unsettling Métiers d'Art creations that somehow manage to combine astronomical complications, golden humanoid figures, cult leader aesthetics, and a price tag that suggests you might also receive a henchman with purchase. (Prompting a spirited debate about whether watches are meant to tell time or simply assert dominance over humanity). From there, Ariel dives into the increasingly uncomfortable question of whether there are simply too many watch brands in the modern market. He explains why brand failure does not automatically equal industry collapse and how pricing, distribution, and ego have quietly set the stage for a long overdue reckoning. That discussion naturally inspires Rick to introduce the “Brand Death Wheel”, a highly scientific and extremely responsible method for deciding which brands live, die, or are Thanos snapped out of existence. The process includes eulogies, resale speculation, and the unanimous realization that Tissot is not the brand we deserve but the brand we absolutely need.The conversation then swings through some of the most talked about articles of the year, including why rage drives engagement, why accuracy ranges that resemble guesses are no longer acceptable, and how discounting might actually save the industry's soul. The group also explores why wealthy collectors complaining about prices may be the loudest warning sign of all. From there, the episode moves into a rapid fire tour of notable releases from Timex, Casio, and TAG Heuer, along with the ongoing identity crisis between flagship models and halo pieces. They ultimately circle back to the most important unresolved question of the episode: if this group truly has the power to decide which brands survive, should they also be trusted to choose a watch for Rick in 2026. Finally, (and appropriately), the episode closes with a solemn and completely earned send off set to the Hungarian national anthem.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!

Now that the OT: team is back in one timezone, it's time to catch up on some spicy new releases Felix Saw at Dubai Watch Week, including the Ressence x Marc Newson collaboration, the third instalment of TAG Heuer's partnership with streetwear brand fragment and a surprising pocket watch. We also talk about the one new release so nice that it ended up on Andy's wrist #nospoilers.  Then Felix talks to the one and only Carlos Rosillo, co-founder and CEO of Bell & Ross. It's one of the best kinds of watch discussions, one where there's hardly any discussion of new releases or limited editions — instead it's a reflective conversation about the brand's history, legacy and 20 years of square watches.   Andy's new watch (01:00:24) The latest TAG Heuer x fragment (01:05:10) Ressence x Marc Newson (01:07:26) Temporal Works (01:10:23) Chris Ward x Studio Underdog (01:12:47) Vera Clocks (01:16:00) Interview with Carlos Rosillo (01:16:50)   Show Notes: https://www.otpodcast.com.au/show-notes   OT: Discord - https://discord.com/invite/X3Vvc9z7aV   How to follow us: https://www.instagram.com/ot.podcast https://www.facebook.com/otpodcastau https://instagram.com/andygreenlive https://instagram.com/fkscholz   Send us an email: otthepodcast@gmail.com   If you liked our podcast - please remember to like/share and subscribe.

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, and Ripley dive straight into the chaos of modern watchmaking and immediately land in the world of Death By Line Extension, a place where brands keep serving new colors and new variations faster than anyone can remember the last thing they released. As Ariel and David just returned from Dubai Watch Week, Ariel explains that someone asked if he was tired of watches, which is hilarious to him because he seems to have a strange superpower that allows him to absorb an endless stream of new releases without losing his mind. The team laughs their way through Omega price increase drama, Rick mourns the loss of the helium escape valve with the seriousness of a national tragedy, and Ripley pitches a country song about no longer being able to afford an Omega. The conversation moves into full Beige Tudor Energy when Ariel admits that a new Tudor release gave him absolutely no emotional response, which is apparently almost impossible. Then comes the Big Bang Convergence Theory, a running joke where Ripley points out that watch design is starting to evolve like crab evolution, but for luxury stainless steel, complete with Hublot-inspired chaos and Zenith pieces that Ariel swears look like artificial intelligence was left unsupervised. The episode continues with stories from Dubai Watch Week, a fantasy about a tractor-themed watch festival on Rick's farm in Scotland, a moon phase that only a werewolf would truly appreciate, and a one hundred fifty thousand dollar Tag Heuer that looks ready to jump into a Formula One pit lane. Listen in and join the conversation for a full buffet of watch industry humor, confusion, passion, and gentle suffering wrapped in beige energy on this week's episode of aBlogtoWatch Weekly.00:00 – Intro: “Watch Fatigue” & Line Extensions 01:10 – Special Request: Fewer Releases, More DigestibleSpecials 02:00 – Ariel's Superpower: Infinite Watch Absorption 03:00 – Price Increases & The Industry's ‘Bad Habits' 04:20 – Omega Identity Crisis & Price Creep 06:00 – Country Song Pitch: ‘Remember When I Could Afford anOmega' 07:10 – Bond Watches, Planet Ocean Controversy & TheMissing Helium Valve 09:00 – Rolex CEO Dubai Interview: Overblown Headlines 10:30 – ‘Speedmaster Irrelevant' April Fool's Dream 12:00 – Dubai Watch Week vs Watches & Wonders 13:20 – Proposal: ABTW Farm Watch Week (Scotland Edition) 14:50 – Tractor Watches, Farmer Rolexes & LamborghiniTractors 16:40 – Whisky + Watches Tour Pitch 20:00 – Transition Back to Dubai Watch Week (Finally) 20:45 – Golden Diamonds Hall & Weird Influencers 22:20 – Does Watches & Wonders Have a Problem? 23:00 – Plane Movie Reviews 24:00 – Wearing Watches at Shows: Dubai vs Geneva 25:20 – Moser Streamliner Perpetual Moon Concept Meteorite 31:00 – Audemars Piguet “Robot Watch Setter” Device 35:20 – Zenith Defy Extreme Lapis Lazuli 39:00 – New Tudor 36mm Beige Dial Ranger/Explorer Style 41:45 – TAG Heuer Monaco Split Seconds Chronograph ‘Air 1' 47:40 – Who Gets the 30 TAGs?

Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Cristiano Ronaldo once again grabbed headlines as he delivered a dramatic brace for Al-Nassr against Al Fayha in Riyadh on Saturday, helping his club retain the top spot in the Saudi Pro League table and maintain their unbeaten run in the 2025-26 season. The match seemed headed for disappointment after Al Fayha scored early, but Ronaldo clinically netted the equalizer in the 37th minute and sealed victory with a cool penalty deep into added time. The spectacle continued after the final whistle when the Portuguese legend treated fans to a joyful Ardah dance right on the pitch, a moment widely shared across social media platforms and featured by the official Saudi Pro League and sports sites globally.With these two goals, Ronaldo's professional tally soared to an astonishing 952, a number unmatched by any player in football history. Just last week, he had reached the unprecedented milestone of 950 goals – setting records not only as Al-Nassr's icon but also as the highest scorer in FIFA World Cup qualifiers. His next ambition, announced in multiple media interviews, is to crack the mythical 1,000-goal mark before ending his career.On the business front, Bloomberg and other financial outlets are reporting Ronaldo's net worth at a staggering 1.4 billion dollars, officially making him football's first billionaire according to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index. His Saudi contract now reportedly exceeds 400 million dollars a year, complemented by a portfolio of high-profile endorsements ranging from Nike's lifetime deal to multimillion-dollar partnerships with Armani, TAG Heuer, Binance, and Herbalife. Posts from his Instagram, which boasts over 600 million followers, are estimated to earn him 2 million dollars each, cementing his place as the highest-paid athlete online.The CR7 brand, visible across luxury clothing, fragrances, gyms, hotels, and various investment ventures, continues to expand. Digital sleuths have picked up rumors — still unconfirmed — of new CR7 fitness locations and possible additional Pestana CR7 hotels coming soon. Family life also remains a focus on social channels, with Georgina Rodriguez featured in joint lifestyle posts and international gossip columns crowning them a billion-dollar power couple, balancing football stardom and business savvy.Looking toward 2026, Ronaldo is set to captain Portugal in the FIFA World Cup's expanded edition across the U.S., Mexico, and Canada — arguably one last campaign to add another highlight to his storied career. On social media, fan accounts buzz daily with praise and speculation, from his goal chase and luxurious travels to his next entrepreneurial steps or possible involvement in football ownership and sports documentaries. For now, Ronaldo's continued ability to produce game-winning moments and remain culturally relevant only reinforces his legacy as a footballer and global icon.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Rick, Ariel, David, and Ripley tackleanother full slate of watch talk and industry laughs. The crew opens with thelatest missteps in media watch coverage before getting hands-on with thestriking Zenith Defy Zero-G in blue sapphire. From the return of Las Vegas as ahub for luxury watch events to an engaging look at Breguet's legacy andtechnical mastery, they  explore the craftsmanship behind iconic movementsand the enduring influence of historic innovation on modern watchmaking. Thefour also untangle the age-old mix-up between chronographs and chronometers,proving that while one measures time and the other measures accuracy, confusionbetween the two might just be the most consistent complication in watchcollecting. When Rick reads a YouTube comment claiming that watch collectingisn't a hobby, Ariel fires back with a passionate, red-hot defense that turnswhat started as a casual jab into a full-blown debate about obsession,identity, and why passion for watches is anything but casual. Between specifieddefinitions, rants, and confessions of “it's not an addiction, it's aninterest,” the team finds humor in just how seriously enthusiasts take theirso-called pastime. If you enjoy smart banter, watch nerdery, and the kind ofchemistry only this team can deliver, then tune into this week's episode andjoin the conversation.0:00 Start[00:01:06] Weekly "Clapage": The team discusses a reader-submitted find from the London Times, which featured an article on the "hottest designs for autumn 2025" but mistakenly used a picture of a vintage Tag Heuer triple calendar moonphase instead of the new Carrera Astronomer.[00:08:43] Las Vegas Watch Scene: Ariel is excited about the revival of Las Vegas (JCK and Couture) as a major destination for watch events in the United States, reminiscing about the days before Baselworld's decline.[00:15:14] Hands-On: Zenith Defy 50G Blue Sapphire: The group discusses Ariel's hands-on with the 46mm blue sapphire Zenith, featuring the unique "ZeroG" gimbal-style mechanism designed to keep the balance wheel horizontal.[00:23:08] Show Within a Show: RantIn response to a YouTube comment ("It's not a hobby"), Ariel delivers a rant defending watch collecting as the very definition of a hobby, citing the time spent learning, socializing, trading, and building.[00:30:50] Show Within a Show: Brand SpotlightBreguet: The team discusses the immense historical importance of Abraham-Louis Breguet, his foundational inventions (tourbillon, overcoil), and the brand's modern struggles and triumphs in living up to that legacy.[00:38:39] Show Within a Show: 101 CornerChronograph vs. Chronometer: A foundational discussion explaining that a Chronograph is a watch with a stopwatch function, while a Chronometer is a watch certified for its high accuracy (e.G., by COSC).

On this episode of The Business of Watches Podcast we drop in on Niels Eggerding, the CEO of Frederique Constant (and sister marque Alpina), at the brand's headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland near Geneva. Eggerding has been in the corner office since 2018 and has steered FC through a series of challenges and triumphs during his time leading the company. The Dutchman has brought more high horology and cool collaborations to the value and volume-driven brand, including perpetual calendars and tourbillons as well as more precious-metal cases. But it's a delicate balance for Frederique Constant as value-priced watches still account for more than 90% of its production volumes. Amid rising input costs and a strong Swiss franc, not to mention the challenge of U.S. tariffs, Eggerding's biggest challenge is maintaining FC's value proposition while burnishing its reputation as a serious watchmaker able to produce high-end timepieces. At the same time, he has to keep delivering sales and profit for the brand's owner, Citizen of Japan.  On this episode of The Business of Watches Podcast, we drop in on Niels Eggerding, the CEO of Frederique Constant (and sister marque Alpina), at the brand's headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates, Switzerland, near Geneva.We hope you enjoy our conversation with Niels Eggerding.

On this week's The Business Of Watches podcast, we catch up with Antoine Pin, the Chief Executive Officer of Tag Heuer. He's having quite a year. The brand is in the first season of a new decade-long deal to be the official timekeeping sponsor of Formula 1. It's a high-profile, multi-brand agreement that, if executed correctly, could launch Tag Heuer to a whole new level of visibility. But it also comes at a challenging time for the global economy and the watch industry in general as soaring input costs, a strong Swiss franc, and U.S. tariffs on Swiss goods take a toll on margins and confidence.Pin tells us Tag Heuer has plenty of experience overcoming tough challenges. When the brand launched the first version of its carbon hairspring technology in 2019, there were issues. But the Tag Heuer laboratory didn't give up, and now it's back with a new version, which it says has overcome the problems. We hope you enjoy our conversation with Antoine Pin.

Summary In Episode 390 of In Touch With iOS, host Dave Ginsburg is joined by Jill McKinley, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, Eric Bolden, and Ben Roethig to tackle Apple's latest updates with a mix of analysis and humor. The panel begins with VisionOS 26.1 beta 2, highlighting improved game controller responsiveness and Apple's new immersive films—from Hawaii's volcanoes to Maine's autumn colors. Marty jokes Apple just used the Photos app's magic wand to turn summer into fall, while the group teases about running out of U.S. states to film. They also discuss the quirky Hover strap accessory that “flips up like old-man sunglasses” with ad copy quoting “When a problem comes along, you must flip it.” iOS 26.1 beta 2 gets attention for bigger alarm buttons, a snooze/stop redesign, and expanded Apple Intelligence languages. On iPad, the return of Slide Over sparks relief, while microphone gain control earns praise for podcasters. Apple's Fitness app adds custom workouts, and AirPods Pro 3 receive a firmware update. Marty shares a hilarious inflight story: the new seal was so tight his ears went “poppity, poppity, poppity” during descent. The crew explores iPhone 17's USB-C capabilities—charging AirPods, external displays, Ethernet, even other iPhones. Jeff jokes about using USB-C mics for bird-watching apps, while Eric tests charging his Apple Watch directly from the iPhone. Other highlights: Amazon Prime splurges (camera arms, Stream Decks, car jumpers, and audio gear). Tag Heuer's $1,600 Connected E5 smartwatch, now iPhone-certified—“a $1,600 dongle for your wrist.” Apple's Colorado outdoor influencer event (hiking + AirPods demos). Cosmic Orange skins from Dbrand, prompting jokes about spray-tanning MacBooks or eating Cheetos near your iPhone. Liquid Glass design spreading to more Apple apps. CarPlay tensions: Rivian's refusal, Aston Martin as the lone CarPlay Ultra supporter, and frustration over automakers backtracking. Jeff warns CarPlay Ultra might never gain widespread adoption unless Apple compromises. The panel closes with laughs about hidden iPhone call history (“your spouse's attorney already knows”), cosmic orange hunting gear, and CarPlay Ultra being more elusive than a lottery win.

  Timeless luxury thrives on trust, not transactions. In Japan, “walk the talk” converts respect into results. Prepare for 90, execute the final 10 flawlessly. Curiosity first; conclusions later. Empathy is the shortcut to nemawashi.   Born in Geneva, Switzerland — the same city where Piaget began — Alexis Perroton started his career at TAG Heuer. At 24, he accepted a “Japan or nothing” posting and arrived without language skills or prior affinity for the country. The culture shock was immediate, but he refused to quit, immersed himself in the language, and built fluency as he learned retail from the shop floor. After four years, he moved to Richemont's Finance Planning & Analysis team supporting watch maisons and later Cartier, partnering closely with marketing on product performance dashboards. That collaboration paved the way to a leadership shift: he became Head of Jewellery for Cartier Japan during a pivotal rebuilding phase marked by new management, optimism, and local creative freedom. To broaden his scope and network, Perroton relocated to Cartier's head office in Geneva, working with the executive committee and coordinating commercial activities across Asia at the height of China's expansion. He subsequently led marketing and communications across 12 diverse markets in Southeast Asia from Singapore, then moved to Hong Kong in 2015 to oversee Hong Kong & Macau — the largest subsidiary at the time — through a demanding, resource-rich growth period. Recruited to Piaget by a former Cartier colleague tasked with revitalising the maison, Perroton returned to Japan eight years ago to lead Piaget Japan. Since then, he and his team have delivered strong results across triumphs and setbacks, emphasising client relationships, boutique excellence, and disciplined execution. Across roles in Switzerland, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and back to Japan, his career reflects 18 cumulative years in Japan, a deep commitment to on-the-floor leadership, and the conviction that respect, transparency, and consistency (“walk the talk”) generate trust and performance. Alexis Perroton's leadership philosophy is forged from the boutique floor up. He insists luxury is about emotion and human connection, and that leaders must be visible, useful, and humble where the relationship actually forms: in-store. Early in Japan, unable to speak or read the language, he nearly left. Instead, he doubled down, learned Japanese, and used that experience to shape a style that blends Swiss discipline with Japanese trust-building. Over time he moved through finance, marketing, and general management across Asia, all while honing empathy and executional rigour. Perroton learned that Japanese engagement cannot be read through global dashboards alone. Survey scores trend conservative, but comments are nuanced and often positive; a “5/10” may signify a customer's desire to keep a brand exclusive rather than dissatisfaction. He rejects international league tables that flatten culture, preferring to mine qualitative feedback and then close the loop visibly so staff see action, not surveys for surveys' sake. This is classic nemawashi: patiently build consensus and psychological safety before decisions are formalised (ringi-sho), and communicate the “why,” the frame, and the plan. He is equally clear-eyed on empowerment. Large brainstorming sessions seldom unlock the quiet voices; one-to-one breakfasts and small-group conversations do. He schedules weekly “what I did/what I'm doing” forums so every voice exercises agency. Then he provides structure — owners, milestones, expectations — so ideas survive the off-site and turn into operational work. He understands Japan's “prepare 90, execute 10” rhythm and harnesses it: meticulous rehearsal (including speeches scripted phonetically in romaji) ensures flawless client experiences. On technology, he is pragmatic. Luxury e-commerce remains smaller in Japan; clients value brick-and-mortar intimacy, trusted advice, and post-purchase care. Technology supports, but cannot replace, that theatre. Decision intelligence for leaders here means translating data into empathetic action: role-plays at morning chokurei, field coaching, and feedback cadences that respect uncertainty avoidance while still inviting challenge. Language proficiency matters because it collapses distance. Speaking directly with clients at dinners and events, or packing event crates with staff after hours, signals “same boat” solidarity that no town hall can replicate. It also short-circuits the “expat for three years and gone” scepticism. Resilience, for Perroton, comes from perspective: sleep resets the day; reframe the negative until a constructive path appears. In a market where wealth skews older and relationships are compounding assets, his approach fuses empathy, preparation, and presence — the quiet mechanics of trust that make luxury feel effortless. What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leaders succeed by investing disproportionate energy in trust and preparation. Nemawashi precedes decisions; ringi-sho codifies them; consensus safeguards execution. Staff and clients value “walk the talk” — the leader who shows up at events on weekends, role-plays in morning huddles, and can serve a client in Japanese. Preparation (90) before execution (10) yields the “flawless” client moment. Why do global executives struggle? They over-index on global benchmarks and underweight context. Japanese engagement and NPS scales are conservative; comments carry the gold. Translation nuance matters. Without patient listening, one-to-one conversations, and follow-through, ideas die in the gap between off-site enthusiasm and Monday reality. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Japan is uncertainty-averse more than risk-averse. Teams will pursue bold goals once leaders reduce ambiguity: clarify intent, sequence, owners, and safeguards. Meticulous rehearsal de-risks the last 10 percent. Leaders who frame decisions with transparent dashboards and narratives convert caution into commitment. What leadership style actually works? Respect, transparency, and consistency. Be reachable, empathetic, and specific. Set frames (who/what/when), then empower execution. Build psychological safety in small groups; invite challenge privately if needed. Model shared labour — from packing crates to greeting clients — to accelerate trust and speed up nemawashi. How can technology help? Use technology to enhance, not replace, human theatre. Digital twins of service journeys and decision intelligence dashboards can surface bottlenecks, skill gaps, and best practices. But luxury clients in Japan still choose boutiques for trust, tactility, and tailored advice. Tech should augment coaching (e.g., role-play libraries, analytics), not automate empathy. Does language proficiency matter? Yes — it compresses distance and signals respect. Direct Japanese conversations enable richer feedback loops with staff and clients, reduce reliance on filters, and quicken consensus. Even partial fluency, used consistently, advances trust faster than polished slides. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Curiosity before conclusions. Listen wide, close the loop visibly, and “walk the talk.” In Japan, leaders who pair empathy with structure turn consensus from a delay into a multiplier, sustaining performance through crises and growth cycles alike. Timecoded Summary [00:00] Geneva to Ginza: Perroton recounts growing up in Switzerland, joining TAG Heuer, and taking a “Japan or nothing” assignment at 24. Early months are brutally hard — no language, cultural isolation — but he refuses to quit, learns Japanese, and discovers the client-facing heartbeat of luxury. [05:20] From FP&A to jewellery: At Richemont he partners with marketing on analytics, then becomes Head of Jewellery for Cartier Japan during a renewal period with new management and local freedom. The move proves that cross-functional fluency (finance + marketing) accelerates leadership range. [12:45] Head office vantage: In Geneva, he coordinates Asian markets as China scales rapidly, building an ex-co network and regional perspective. The exposure to different uncertainty profiles and market maturities seeds his later playbook on framing and consensus. [18:30] Southeast Asia tour: From Singapore, he oversees 12 heterogeneous markets — mature (Singapore), emergent (Vietnam), culturally complex (Indonesia), Anglo-Saxon (Australia). A small, tight team learns to tailor playbooks without losing brand coherence. [23:40] Hong Kong & Macau (2015): He leads the largest subsidiary pre-COVID, where resourcing and pressure are equally high. He calibrates “prepare 90, execute 10” at scale, learning that big markets demand both autonomy and disciplined alignment. [28:10] Piaget Japan: Recruited amid a brand rebuild, he returns to Japan. Eight years deliver wins and setbacks, but the throughline is presence: weekends at events, dinners with clients, and coaching on the floor. He schedules boutique time, blocks calendars, and adapts to two time zones daily. [34:15] Engagement optics: He critiques comparing Japan's NPS/engagement to other countries. Scores are conservative; comments reveal loyalty and exclusivity impulses. The fix: translation nuance, qualitative mining, action plans, and visible follow-through — nemawashi in practice. [40:00] Empowerment engine: Weekly “feedback” meetings make speaking up routine. Small breakfasts surface quieter voices. He supplies frames (owners, timelines) so ideas outlive off-sites. Role-play during chokurei institutionalises learning despite dispersed retail schedules. [45:35] Digital vs. human: E-commerce is smaller in Japan's luxury; clients prioritise tactile experiences and trusted advisors. Technology should serve decision intelligence and coaching, not attempt to automate empathy. [49:50] Resilience & habits: He writes everything down, rehearses speeches in romaji, takes thinking breaks, and resets daily — reframing negatives until a constructive path emerges. The ultimate lesson: curiosity, empathy, structure, and “walk the talk.” Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

This opens up their choice to countless more options, and you can bet they're taking advantage of it. This budget unlocks plenty of brilliant watches, including some from brands typically considered entry-level to mid-level luxury (including Tudor, TAG Heuer, Cartier, and many more). So, if you want to know their picks, tune in to this episode.
