I should have realized this was episode 33, but I forgot! Welcome back watch fans, Geneva Watch Days is two days away, so I guess that means my summer break is over and it’s back top bringing you updates on the watch industry and independent watchmaking.
This week I do a preview of what’s coming at Geneva Watch Days, what it signals in the market, and what to expect as the fall opener for the watch industry begins this week in Geneva.
GWD kicks off the fall auction season with the charity auction that benefits the Geneva Watchmaking School and auctions will follow in Hong Kong, Geneva, and New York. GWD is really the official end of summer and brings everyone together in Geneva.
There’s a lot to look forward to, but I think the response to this show will be telling about what is really happening in the industry. Will watch brands push the boundaries or remain conservative - we’ll know later this week.
Stay tuned for the follow up show this week with reports from the field, reactions, and my response to the new releases.
And for those of you asking for the SR-71 speed check story, here it is!
