Rob NuddsHOST
And Vacheron's an interesting one because Vacheron, nominally, was always my favorite of the Holy Trinity.
Rob NuddsHOST
And by that, I mean AP, Patek, and VC.
Rob NuddsHOST
I thought that they had the most elegant watches.
Rob NuddsHOST
I thought they had some of the finest métiers d'art in the industry and certainly better than the other two.
Lorenzo CassettiGUEST
we started to focus more on brands like Bvlgari, like Cartier, talking about the jewelries, talking about watches.
Lorenzo CassettiGUEST
We were the first dealer of Audemars Piguet.
Daniel LangerHOST
We
Lorenzo CassettiGUEST
started a long time ago, like 30 years ago.
AaronHOST
Many, many generations.
AaronHOST
When the Royal Oak came out, it did not have a movement manufactured by Audemars Piguet.
AaronHOST
When the Nautilus came out, it did not have a movement manufactured by Patek Philippe.
AaronHOST
So there's... way more examples of great watches that have been made in that fashion than there are a completely vertically integrated operation like Rolex or Seiko.
Tran Nhat AnhGUEST
Like Rolex or...
Tran Nhat AnhGUEST
Audemars and Patrick Philippe so I bought and resold them in Hanoi so that it helped my capital grow faster and I started to learn a lot about like pricing and negotiation and building trust with like VIP customer yeah so that is what I started when I was a first year and second year student how did that business go? It went well, and now I still do luxury watches, but only when they need, because I don't really dig deep into that aspect anymore.
Marc KramerHOST
But I
Tran Nhat AnhGUEST
am still a watch lover, so sometimes I trade them now.
James McVeyHOST
That's a title and a half, isn't it? I believe that he is now at Hublot.
James McVeyHOST
And was he maybe previously at Audemars Piguet? Very good.
James McVeyHOST
The accent especially.
James McVeyHOST
Ten points.
Griffin BartschGUEST
But you do see this kind of desire for the things that maybe they feel they missed out on, that a lot of collectors feel they missed out on because they went so deep on this core of watch, you know, that homogenous taste that it came to exist.
Andy HoffmanHOST
So do we think that New York Watch Week can continue to aspire to compete with the other international watch weeks and as a collective bunch of shows and events can do that without having the direct participation of the Holy Trinity of Patek in New York? Audemars Piguet and even Rolex and Vacheron, do they not need it? Or do they still need that final piece to, you know, legitimize the event?
TanTan WangGUEST
I don't think they do, right? Because I think, you know, a lot of what makes Watch Time and Wind Up so special, for example, is...
TanTan WangGUEST
And Indies, right, really, to an extent, is...
John DavidsHOST
And how do I know that? How do I know that beyond a shadow of a doubt, my friends? Because people still buy Rolexes.
John DavidsHOST
They buy a Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet and Richard Mille.
John DavidsHOST
They pay insane prices for a product that does nothing.
John DavidsHOST
Now, you can make an argument that this is unique to luxury or only things that rich people buy, but it's not.
RalphHOST
I really enjoy this.
RalphHOST
I also got my AP back.
RalphHOST
Right.
RalphHOST
Basically on the same day, I picked up three watches.
RalphHOST
I think it was last month.
RalphHOST
It was the 30th of last month or 31st.
RalphHOST
But in the span of three weeks or two and a half weeks, I got the Norkane, the Pelagos, the Rolex back, the Glastrider, the Dougie, the Dougie came back from repair and the AP came back from repair.
RalphHOST
So I have now four watches that are new to me for at least a specific time that
Asher RapkinHOST
I cannot tell you how many clients have spoken to who wanted to trade an AP to me and begged and pleaded for us to place it in a way that the brand wouldn't know.
Asher RapkinHOST
I think they've done a really good job of like terrorizing their clientele in that regard.
Asher RapkinHOST
And now they want them to sell them their watches.
7 MINS LATER
Gabe ReillyHOST
Not the kind of news we would have wanted to cover, not what we had planned.
Gabe ReillyHOST
for episode 100 but this is important so of course we will tackle that next week now in the meantime this week we have plenty of other news and goings on from within the watch industry and we're excited to share those with you so without any further ado let's get on with the show Francois-Henri Panamias has joined Hublot as an advisor.
Gabe ReillyHOST
We're going to talk about AP, his alma mater as well.
Gabe ReillyHOST
They're rolling out a CPO program.
Gabe ReillyHOST
We'll talk about Rolex CPO as well.
Roman SharfHOST
You remember, we got here slowly.
Roman SharfHOST
If you look at retail pricing of Audemars Piguet over the last 20 years.
Roman SharfHOST
Everything started post COVID though.
Roman SharfHOST
Yeah.
Roman SharfHOST
Rolex steel models used to get 20 to 25 off.
Roman SharfHOST
Gold models used to get 30 off.
Roman SharfHOST
Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, IWC, you name it, it was 10 over Klaus.
Roman SharfHOST
So if De La Klaus was 45 off, I would buy the stuff at 39 and a half off.
