Andrew MorganHOST
the music stuff.
Andrew MorganHOST
He's the guy that made AP an incredibly valuable brand, overtaking Patek and many others.
Andrew MorganHOST
But he's also the guy that many people attribute to the downfall of AP.
Andrew MorganHOST
This comes back to something we've spoken about before, which is cashing in and investing in brand, right? We spoke about Porsche.
Owen CookHOST
So whenever you meet them, like when you're out here networking in LA, rapidly what you're doing, the way the conversation proceeds is you're rapidly figuring out how you can help the person and the other thing you're figuring out is common people that you know.
Owen CookHOST
Like rapidly, and you're talking about like common events, right? So like the way that it kind of works is, I mean, again, you guys aren't gonna do this, but an example would be if you have like a Patek Philippe watch, if you have an AP watch, if you have a Rolex watch, you have a Richard Mille watch, right? They usually have watches like, or not usually, but many of them have that too.
Owen CookHOST
Oh, you've got a Patek.
Owen CookHOST
Oh yeah, which model do you get? Oh, I got this one.
Owen CookHOST
That is like a quick way to start networking with rich men.
Owen CookHOST
Women don't know what a Patek Philippe is.
Owen CookHOST
You guys don't even know what a Patek Philippe is, but rich people know what it is.
Owen CookHOST
You don't have to have it.
Owen CookHOST
To get the best watches, you've got to buy like 10 watches or you go in the gray market and get it.
Owen CookHOST
But, you know, so why is it that Rolex or Patek Philippe or AP are not just going to give you a watch? Because that's what creates the value is the scarcity.
Owen CookHOST
You don't just get to get it.
Owen CookHOST
That has to be you in your social life.
Sylvain BerneronGUEST
and well I think what I'm about to say will speak for itself we are currently the caliber we're going to deliver at the end of this year because we're going to deliver the first 48 pieces before Christmas this year it is the 11th iteration of the caliber So let me ask you
Wesley SmithHOST
this, because the annual calendar caliber, that complication, I believe came out in 1990 something by Patek, right? It was either 90 or 96.
Wesley SmithHOST
It became much later, much after the perpetual calendar.
Wesley SmithHOST
Right, which is so funny.
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.
Sébastien ChaulmontetGUEST
Is the movement from us? Not from us.
Sébastien ChaulmontetGUEST
But even at Patek, they use movement from third parties.
Sébastien ChaulmontetGUEST
So this kind of discussion is pretty new.
Sébastien ChaulmontetGUEST
So Selita has never been like very public because it's not our role because at the end of the day, we supply B2B and not B2C.

Sébastien ChaulmontetGUEST
But it's very interesting to see why to the human eye for, let's say, 150 years, the most beautiful chronograph layout was a vertical with one counter at 12, one at six.
Sébastien ChaulmontetGUEST
And why we nowadays, everybody wants bi-compacts, tri-compacts and want nothing to have at 12 o'clock.
Sébastien ChaulmontetGUEST
And when you think of the first wristwatches for Patek Philippe, for instance, which were done by Victor Rampiguet, they still had this vertical layout.
Sébastien ChaulmontetGUEST
And nowadays, only IWC for the Portuguese and the Portofino uses this layout.
Quaid WalkerGUEST
Like we're trying to show these, like, you know, and brands do this too.
Quaid WalkerGUEST
It's like the Patek Philippe classic, like, you know, it's not, you're not, it's not for you.
Quaid WalkerGUEST
It's for the, it's for the next generation.
Quaid WalkerGUEST
You're just holding onto it.
GHOST
This week, we recommend a watch for the £5,000 for JJ.
GHOST
Darren engraves Matt's P01, there's a happy Cher watch story, and then we get into recent releases from Amiga, Patek, and more.
GHOST
And just to let you know, there's a lot of screen sharing, so you might want to give it a look on our YouTube channel.
GHOST
As ever, there's swearing throughout, so please throw on your headphones if there are any sensitive ears around, and without further ado, let's get into it.

MattHOST
Right, what else?
GHOST
I've got, well, all right, let's go the other way, shall we, if we're spending big money.
GHOST
The Patek 5978P.
MattHOST
Yes.
Owen CookHOST
It's like a, it's kind of like getting like maybe a, I don't know, like a Tag Heuer watch.
Owen CookHOST
It's not a Rolex, it's not an AP, it's not a Patek, it's not a Richard Mill.
Owen CookHOST
It's like, you train and train and train and you got a nice tag cure.
Owen CookHOST
You got maybe a best at Omega or like a Lexus.
Owen CookHOST
But to get up to the level of AP, Patek in your body, if you could do it, do it.
Owen CookHOST
But most guys are not gonna get there.
Owen CookHOST
Now, by the way, make money, do fitness, do it for you, do it for your own enjoyment.
Yan DreddyGUEST
Here's the thing that I've noticed from all the events I've been to.
Yan DreddyGUEST
When someone walks into a room with a Rolex or a Patek or even a...
Yan DreddyGUEST
Royal Oak, which I call the Royal Joke, and I know you're a big fan of AP.
Yan DreddyGUEST
No, I know.

Roman SharfHOST
Artsy.
Roman SharfHOST
And those are the things that Roman likes to buy.
Roman SharfHOST
Now, we do our fair share of Rolex and Patek and Royal Oaks and everything else, obviously.
Roman SharfHOST
And perhaps pieces like this don't move the needle much for us.
