This week on aBlogtoWatch Weekly, Ariel has returned from his travels (barely), so the gang is back together again! Since Ariel had a bumpy return from his European escapade, the show starts out with another spot of aBlogtoWatch Watches Watches and a bit of story time about the terror of thinking you’ve lost a watch. Then it’s time for another round (or three) of Guess the Price of the Seiko! Circling back to Ariel’s recent trip, he gives us a briefing on the lovely things he saw and learned about at Louis Vuitton—including a deep analysis of the brand’s current and future positioning. Rick then shares interviews with Christian Wipfli, the head of Time to Watches, a watch show occurring in Geneva concurrent with Watches and Wonders, and part two of his interview with Mathieu Humair, CEO of Watches and Wonders Geneva Foundation. Plus, David shares his plans for using lasers on a $110,000 watch! Listen below or on the player of your choice.
