Dear M. Biver, I wish you a great and long life, I thank you for what you've done, I'm sure you still have a lot of new roads to open.
I remember with a lot of emotion and gratitude that night - it was four years ago - when you hosted us PuristS in Lausanne. I wish I could meet you again, hearing your hypnotizing stories.
Happiness and strong health could always run together with you.
Ciao,
Elio

Two years ago, I wanted to find some information about a Blancpain made during Jean-Claude Biver's control of the brand. I knew he'd moved to Hublot, so ...

I emailed him there, expecting a reply from a secretary or a manager. To my amazement, he not only replied himself, but also in detail and then sent a follow-up message. Not bad for a busy man with a net worth in excess of US$200,000,000.

Years ago, when we were hesitating whether to open a Hublot forum, JCB invited me to a private meeting at Baselworld. He wanted to know how we could make it happen. With consummate prowess, he identified the issues, figured out the solution, executed his ...
