All right, you're in for a real treat this week.

We're now two weeks removed from the Hodinke 10th anniversary weekend in New York City,

and of all the panels, live discussions, and events from that weekend,

there's one that I just can't stop thinking about.

And that was our own Joe Thompson, easily the most experienced and

knowledgeable person writing about the watch industry today,

sitting down with industry legend Jean Club Beaver for well over an hour of

candid conversation about Beaver's history in the business, some early tricks that gave him a leg up

and where he sees things going in the next 20 or 30 years.

If you've never had the opportunity to hear Jean-Claude speak, I don't really

know what I can say here to prepare you. He's unbelievably passionate, thoughtful, savvy,

and a complete force of nature. With that, I'm just going to shut up and get out of the way here.

I'm your host Stephen Pulverin and this is Hodincky Radio Live. This week's episode is brought to you by Tag Hoyer.

Stay tuned later in the episode to learn more about a new Hoyer Ottavia.

John Claude, welcome. I want to let everybody know.

John Claude has come from Zurich today on a day trip

just for this event, just for the H-Dinki age 10.

He flew from Zurich this morning and then he flew

from Zurich this morning and then he'll fly back to Zurich tonight. A little bit

about the program, first of all if I can ask everybody to put your cell phones on

mute. The format will be a few questions from me and then we want to throw it open to you.
