Explaining the mystery watches from Omega and Jaeger-LeCoultre at the Oscars; Dominique Renaud's new Pulse60; why chronometry trials data might all be wrong and more
I'm as excited to hear more about the Pulse 60 as you are. Do you know why Renaud has split his projects/designs between so many new brands? Any implication for Renaud Tixier?
I will find out when I'm there, but my instinctive reaction is that a lot of indie watchmakers think about the product first, and then a very long time later get round to concepts like branding, marketing, organisation and communication. When opportunities to make fun things turn up they throw themselves into doing that, and figure out how to sell it to the world later. As far as I know Renaud Tixier continues as planned; I expect DR will rotate between launches for his various brands.
I got an invite to the pulse60 event in Milan hosted by GMT (an AMAZING AD)
We can FaceTime if u want the full story of my thoughts and feelings. Dm me.
Too long to type it and I’m not a skilled writer.
I had a long chat with CEO Michel and asked him LOTS of questions about brand and watch. Also had a great try on session in all the the available colorways.
