I thoroughly enjoy hearing Max talk in every interview he does. Thanks for sharing a new one! Not only is max a wizard in terms of watchmaking, but I really appreciate his approach to business. He sold Chanel on a business plan that doesn't grow infinitely like every other business out there, but in fact has shrinking profits year after year. In an age of growth-at-all-costs capitalism, I really appreciate the perspective of stepping back and refusing growth. I think that in the long term, that kind of thinking will benefit all of us as humans. Thanks for the interview and thank you Max, this was a treat
MB, what a super bloke! Definitely cut from unique cloth. Self-aware, diligent, caring and exceptional. Some excellent insights and fantastic advice for anyone who was paying attention. Thank you for bringing us this interview. Cheers, Matt.
Max telling that Genta was „very proud of himself” and then telling that he planned succesion to save MB&F after his death was hilarious. Some guys from top keep forgetting that they are making just watches and not hospitals or cure for cancer. Still great conversation and great story telling by Max
AP could release a prototype caliber and than actually release it. The car industry often does prototypes, but wishfully and hopefully a design comes out in a future vehicle. Where is the AP prototype in a current of future watch? Actually curious.

Another great conversation Tony.
Will be interesting to see what Chanel and MB&F will be doing together

"Staying Alive" not like John Tavolta. 😂
Zoom doesn’t work. Do in-person, or just don’t bother.
