Re-evaluating Value In Watches With Jean-Sébastien Coste Of Le Forban Sécurité Mer

[gentle music] Hi, and hello watch fans, and welcome back to the Real Time show with me, your friendly neighborhood watchmaker, Rob Nuds, and our resident provocateur, David Vaucher, interviewing Jean-Sebastien Coste from Le Forban, a brand David is very, very fond of because they are from his homeland, France.

So I'll kick it over to our provocateur to introduce this brand a little further.

That's right.

So today we're very happy to welcome Jean-Sebastien Coste from Le Forban Sécurité Mer.

So I'm gonna go full on with the French pronunciations today.

[laughs]

Uh, and this is a brand that I learned about a couple years ago, I would say, and I was just really taken by the mix of, uh, vintage designs, good price, uh, good quality, and just, yeah, I, I'm really excited to see this, uh, rebirth of French watchmaking.

So I don't want to steal too much of our guest's thunder up front.

So Jean-Sebastien, please tell us about Le Forban the brand, and tell us about, uh, your journey to, to, to being the head of this brand and redeveloping it.
