Philippe Dufour's daughter Daniela is the next generation to carry on his watchmaking legacy. She has completed her first watch. Will the Dufour brand survive under her leadership?

Philippe Dufour, the established watchmaker needs no introduction.  But Monsieur Dufour's daughter, Daniela Dufour, is the next generation and the future face of her father's legacy.  Daniela Dufour has completed making her first watch, but is she ready to take on clients and run the business?  Will the Dufour legacy survive?  Watch this video and it seems that the Dufour legacy is in good hands - and time will tell if the brand will survive.  




This is a big one and the room was packed.  Definitely watch this one!

This was raw, provocative, and prompts important questions in my mind.

Are there any notable or up and coming female watchmakers? Why arenโ€™t there any black watchmakers? Iโ€™m sure we could all easily venture explanations for this. But actually doing a little search on Daniela, I found articles/interviews in which she points out the obvious about the conservative industry.

Black, Red, Yellow or whatever, we all have the same blood, and the same potential talent and skill. I wish her the best. The most difficult challenge, for her, would be to exist by herself, as you rightly said.

' Thinking differently with Max Busser '

An episode you'll also find on youtube inner ' Dubai Watch Week - playlists' is imo also a good one to listen too. It's always a pleasure to listen to Max ... very informative and enjoyable. There is also one with Mr Biver ... and as much as I like and appreciate him ... after 5 min I stop listening ALWAYS ... Really bothers me why he's yelling all the time. So sad he can't explain it in a calm way cause I'm sure he has great things to say

Please feel free to post it in a new thread!

All posts about Dubai Watch Week are appropriate! I was going to put on the Max Busser story after I was able to watch it again - can you believe it? I got into that one late! I normally say I'm a huge fan - but how can a fan of Max be late to one of his sessions? Oops, my mistake, bad on my part!
