An Hour With Jean-Claude Biver Of Hublot On Watches, Business, And Being A Hippie
Jean-Claude Biver is a living legend in the watch industry. If you are someone in the industry you either admire him, are jealous of him, or perhaps dislike him. Nevertheless you know him and know he is important. One thing most people can say about Biver is that he speaks loudly, passionately, and often exaggerates a bit (though I don't think he believes that). At least when he is talking about one of his brands - which has been Hublot?for the last decade or so.So here is a rare opportunity to hear Jean-Claude Biver speak with an uncommon personal tone and honesty. He talks about his youth, his hippie years (yes!), starting in the watch industry under some crazy people and doing things he didn't want to do, and how he used his own passion and ideas to create a lot of new things. In a sense, the over-an-hour-long talk is a dissertation on his life in the watch industry, how he thinks, and what you can learn from him. It is easy to listen to and really interesting.While the presentation

Has anyone bought the 5227 yet?
I was admiring the beauty of 5227 on Youtube and was wondering if anyone here has one.I have the 5127, which I purchased new before the 5227 came out.I was heartbroken when I saw the 5227's officer caseback but was relieved when I saw the shocking price tag on the white gold 5227: $37500!!!!!!!For that price, you could probably buy a dress watch from Lange AND buy sport watches one from AP one from Rolex!!But that officer's caseback is really to die for.
