Administrators TimeTexas Posted August 30, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted August 30, 2023 Incredibly good point by Benoit about the financial backing and short term versus long term thinking. It is very hard to truly develop long term success and enact a vision for an entire brand if you are solely focused on the short term and creating a watch. The other issue, that I've heard specifically from Anders/James with Arcanaut is you have to be very careful with getting financial backing from people who are interested in having input into the watches and direction of the brand. Investors should provide financial backing only, not look at it as an opportunity to meddle or try to provide their input. That's a recipe for disaster.

Administrators TimeTexas Posted August 31, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted August 31, 2023 I have to say the format left a little be desired. For the length of the symposium, there were too many watchmakers. It would have been better to have maybe 3 watchmakers and then let them each address the questions as opposed to asking a question and getting a single answer then moving on. Seemed a little disjointed, imo. I thought the answers were good, but it would have been good to hear different perspectives to each question. I also think I would have passed on the question about people who have helped the watchmakers. The answers were general and I would have been more interested in hearing about the watchmaking process or building a brand. Overall, still enjoyable, but not as informative as I thought it could have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
