Hey everybody.

We've got a pretty interesting episode for you this week.

Back in December, the weekend of the big Hodincky 10th anniversary celebration, senior editor

John Bues, who I have here with me today.

Hello everybody.

And I, we got to sit down with Audomar PJ. here with

Ottomar Pegae CEO of Francois Henry binamias

and we got to talk about a whole bunch of things but one of the things we

really focused on was the at the time unreleased code 1159 collection and

John we actually got to see two of the pieces ahead of time right? Yeah we got to look at

one of the chronographs and one of the time only pieces. Yeah and it was really interesting at the time to hear

Francois kind of walk us through the collection.

It was the first time either one of us had seen these watches.

We'd heard AP was doing something big but we didn't really know what it was and to hear

Francois walk us through not kind of having any other perspective or anybody else's

opinions was was interesting especially considering that when they came out a few weeks later at the

Sihih H, it was quite the response, right?

Yeah, Francois was super enthusiastic, I would say, about these watches, and not just the cases and the dials that the new collection represented but also two new movements that he was debuting with Code 1159.

So to hear him talk about it was, I think, super interesting.

I do too.

And I think this episode and the reason we wanted to preface this episode this way

is that it gives you some insight that I think might have been lost
