    JCB was quite... enthusiastic. He must have smacked his watch into the table a thousand times.

      @@johnnewman3316 absolutely, if a watch can survive being worn in an interview by JCB is it is certified as shock-resistant.

    Biver, you REALLY are fucking up Zenith. I mean really. Try to remember how you handled Blancpain, Zenith is not Hublot.

    JCB has amazing energy...very refreshing to see.
    I would love to see him retire at SEIKO! I wonder what he could do for that brand...his final challenge; make Grand Seiko/Credor a much larger factor in luxury watch market!

  • @algorithm007ify
    @algorithm007ify 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    JCB, stop screwing up Zenith by placing it below Hublot...and giving them Hublot/Tag like designs with gaudy rapper marketing (ala swizz beats).

  • @sciuridaedesign3329
    @sciuridaedesign3329 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Does Mr. Wei Koh not know his constant "yes" is not only annoying, it is anti-empathetic. I do not doubt his love for watches and certainly he has a lot of money, but a good interviewer or host, he is not. Please make him not ever appear again on the screen, and then this will be good content.

  • @lloydgarth1

    Wei--Nice interview, but please: If you'd turn off that damn floor lamp that's lighting up nothing except the viewer's eyes, it wouldn't be a chore to watch.

    A great man and an inspiration! When I bought the first Big Bang RG/Fusion and emailed Mr.Biver he replied and we shared our passion for watches. I wish him a long life as the horological world needs him.

    In 5.38 Mr. Biver is cleaning the splinters off the table after all ther beating. Super intense. Super clear in his ideas. Would love to see the his watch in detail.

  • @rickj8859

    Biver doesn't seem to understand, that Zenith's use of high beat movement, doesn't transform the watch it into a hammer.

    Is Biver knocking his watch on purpose to suggest the toughness of it? Wonder if it needs a service now after the interview.

  • @stevenuk
    @stevenuk 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    watches at these prices should be -0/+2 seconds/day as standard... The Future of a watch brand is NOT the message, the future is the DESIGN... if people like it, they will buy it! Rolex - Patek - Richard Mille... its the watch, not the nonsense marketing and celebrity endorsements.

  • @michaelvetsch9486
    @michaelvetsch9486 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Observatories (such as Kew, Neuchâtel, and Besançon) by definition (since their existence started more than 300 years ago) more or less only accepted complete watches for chronometer (precision) competitions. Was surprised that METAS and/or Fleuritest was not at least mentioned once. Because they are complete-watch-only certification standards as well. One repeating 'issue' with JCB, is, that he believes that only the brands he leads are innovative in the first place.

  • @runner2345
    @runner2345 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    JCB, he would succeed if he was in other industry. That energy and passion are intrinsic. Respect. Thank you for great interview. From this video I learnt something about life from JCB.

  • @JoeCC0087
    @JoeCC0087 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is the personality and enthusiasm that should have been injected into more Baselworld coverage. Wei Koh's videos at the Fair have surprised me as being disarmingly watchable.

    These people are dinosaurs, they will be extinct soon. There is no space for mechanical watches in 2030 (closer to us than 2005 was). Only few will buy them, and those who will buy them will realise there is only one watchmaker worth owning, A. Lange & Sohne with production of less than 6,000 pcs per year. The rest are history.
