Andrew MorganHOST
Brands that continue to register for the Geneva seal tend to be extremely high-end.
Andrew MorganHOST
For example, Vacheron Constantin.
Andrew MorganHOST
Patek Philippe, on the other hand, withdrew from the Geneva seal process to introduce its own seal.
Andrew MorganHOST
With a reduction in finishing quality on its lower-end models, this may have been a way to circumnavigate failures to achieve certification at that level.
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...
TanTan WangGUEST
But I don't know, Griffin,
Griffin BartschGUEST
if you agree.
Griffin BartschGUEST
I think I agree, but I think I come at it from a slightly different point of view, which is just that anytime those big brands that you mentioned, Andy, Rolex, Patek, AP, even Vacheron, anytime they come into a space like this, they just take up so much oxygen
Andy HoffmanHOST
that...
Masaharu WadaGUEST
He's used that at Jorn, right? Yes, he used to work for Jorn.
Masaharu WadaGUEST
He was working at an exporting company and he was taking care of Vacheron, Breguet, so many brands.
Masaharu WadaGUEST
Yeah.
speaker_2UNKNOWN
And so
MattHOST
Innie or an outie? Yeah.
GHOST
So something I think we can all believe in, however, which puts that into contrast, is the Vacheron Overseas 30th Anniversary QP Ultra Thin.
MattHOST
Oh, sorry.
GHOST
What's this?
GHOST
bit big, but definitely one of those.
GHOST
I don't know about the Amiga Speedmaster strap on it.
GHOST
So what's the Vacheron? Just head over to Vacheron Constantin.
GHOST
Do us a favour.
RickyHOST
So my wrist check for today is the Bozell.
RickyHOST
Can't remember the name of it, but it is the one... that has got the Oyster Quartz, the Vacheron Triple 2 styling to it, the Tissot PRX shape.
RickyHOST
And it has got something that I've never seen on a watch before.
RickyHOST
It is an inverted Cyclops.
JoeHOST
So this is a, this is a Boulevard specific, but it's, Rolex has bought retailers now and they are doing aftermarket and vintage.
JoeHOST
Vacheron is doing vintage.
JoeHOST
A variety of other brands sell through boutiques.
JoeHOST
And so the episode that we want to tease is this idea of like, how is retail changing in sort of a post-COVID world? Because that's really what we're talking about.
JoeHOST
CPO, right? Certified pre-owned or whatever you want to call it.
JoeHOST
And JLC is doing that.
JoeHOST
Vacheron is doing that.
JoeHOST
Rolex is doing that.
speaker_7HOST
This is where high prices reinforce to people that either this good or this service is desirable and has a signal to high status.
speaker_7HOST
right so when you see or hear people discussing Hermes bags that cost tens of thousands in some cases hundreds of thousands that's not just a bag that cost hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands of pounds full dollars or euros or yen or naira or cds wherever you live it's a signal to high status Hermes and Chanel are reference for their leather bags Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantine are signals when it comes to watches.
speaker_7HOST
Rolls Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Range Rover.
speaker_7HOST
These are signals when it comes to automobiles.
Jack BaruthGUEST
Probably, but seeing, uh, other than, like, I'm sure Breitling, or not Breitling, my God, they don't have any customers.
Jack BaruthGUEST
Let's say that, uh, let's say that Vacheron-
GeorgeHOST
Hey, now, as a Breitling guy, I love me and my Breitling
Jack BaruthGUEST
My, my, my son has a nice Breitling.
MartinHOST
vein, a Tudor Black Bay was 2,000 pounds, 2,200, I think, 15 years ago in 2015, or sorry, 10 years ago in 2015, and now is 4,500 pounds, which is more than than what the sub was, the sub date was, when the sub date first came out.
MartinHOST
So, obviously, Rolex, especially with the new watches, the new movements, the new precious metal stuff, you know, these perpetual Patellonis, they are pushing Rolex up into the stratosphere to try to compete with Patek, Vacheron, and so forth.
MartinHOST
So, Then Tudor has filled the slot to where Rolex used to be.
MartinHOST
We know this.
Florian BédatGUEST
So I was like, maybe you try just watchmaking, see how it goes.
Florian BédatGUEST
And I did an internship at Vacheron Constantin.
Florian BédatGUEST
and i thought like could be interesting wasn't very 100 sure because i'm 15 so you don't very much know what you really want to do and like i said i think with this two teacher that's where it sparked my interest i think that that would be like my first step to be very passionate and then the second step is when i decided to go to langeo zone I was really at the time that I was at Harry Winston.
Florian BédatGUEST
I was surrounded by very good people, but not like very passionate.
