Hi Watch Fam,

Thank you for keeping time with us.

So we have a special edition of the pod for you. I was one of the lucky people to interview Rolf Studer, the Oris CEO.

He was such a nice gent. Giving up his valuable time as the leader of a top watch company. My love for Oris runs deep - hopefully you see that as we go through the interview. I really wanted to get into the mind of a watch CEO and specifically Oris and how the company ticks.

This was part of an Oris event at London Watch Week. I also got to chat to Lena Huwiler the young designer of the new Artelier. I asked her about how she selected the three colourways - the midnight blue, classic white, and her and my favourite the orangey brown version which is called Chestnut.

I got to see some of the sketches of how the Artelier came to life as well as some of the dials prototypes, including an amazing green dial version I would love to see enter production.

Anyhoo, this episode was definitely a dream come true when we kicked off The Timekeepers. Part of the business plan was ‘interview a CEO’. Mission accomplished. So here is me giving back to you our listeners - enjoy the rest of the show.

You can now watch us on Youtube and on video via Spotify! Please leave a comment and give us a like.
