To start the conversation, Ariel has VJ dive right into what he does in his current role for Oris, and they begin to talk about some of the differences between markets like the South American market compared to The United States market. The two discuss some of the goals behind the brand, and how his current position influences VJ’s life while living in a place like Connecticut while working for a Swiss Watch Brand.
