He has to leave for dinner, which starts 7:30 at a bit distant place, so we would have to leave in 10 minutes. I didn't want to lose the video taping opportunity, so I taped this for you. Enjoy those who won the photo contest!
Congratulations again, winners! See the next appendix for the wonderful dinner.

Hello all, I was invited to the reception at The Hour Glass Japan of Hublot 2011 Baselworld Collection & Interviewing Mr. J.C. Biver. Mr. Biver's visit coincides with the taping of Japanese TV program featuring SEIKO in which Hublot/Mr. Biver appears as c...
4:30 PM Preparation of the show window of The Hour Glass to welcome the reception guests and Mr. Biver/ TV crew. This one looks great. To be continued to Part II This message has been edited by KIH on 2011-03-05 08:43:47...
6:20 PM I was told that I would have 30 minutes with him during the reception between 6:00 and 6:30, but the previous interview got delayed and he showed up at the reception a bit late, and he loves to chat with clients and has to take care of TV crew.......
Thank you very much for this interview. I never met Mr JCB in person, but as far as I read from watch magazines in Thailand he is such a passionate and intelligent man. It is he who makes Hublot a success story now. This brand sells very well in my countr...
6:55PM He has to leave for dinner, which starts 7:30 at a bit distant place, so we would have to leave in 10 minutes. I didn't want to lose the video taping opportunity, so I taped this for you. Enjoy those who won the photo contest! Congratulations again...
It's such a treat to see you hand the winning pictures to Mr. Biver and to hear him explain why he picked those pictures. That made the contest even more personal, and wish all our contests were like this! Cheers, Anthony
7:45 PM The cab arrived at the restaurant. Didn't know such event was planned - not for the fans, not for owners, but only for the journalists friends and I was unexpectedly invited there Yes, the famous Fromage M. Biver is on the menu - he brought in him...
Ahh, the Unico. I adore that one. I am in the process of buying another Hublot though so I will have to wait a little longer for a Unico Always love to see events in Tokyo.
despite the long wait alone in the dark room with no food or drink! The working life of a journalist is not always as sweet as people think - I do a lot of automotive shows and just getting near a pile of shrimp on a table brings out the elbows and you en...
Mr.Biver is very infectious with his personality and his speeches is legendary.I had the opportunity to listen to him and meet him at a Hublot dinner in melbourne in october 2009.
I follow Mr Biver on Hublot TV etc but nothing beats an up close and personal discussion. Regards Rene This message has been edited by Oztimelord on 2011-03-09 01:41:59
Thanks for the wonderful post, Ken! Mr. Biver seems so interesting and passionate! I find him intriguing on so many levels. Here's a man who heads a watch company that strives to make the "next" watch (to use his words) and also makes artisanal farmhouse ...
chronological recount of the interview and the madness that surrounded it. You could feel the almost chaotic nature in which the interview was conducted. I think MrJ C Biver is one of the most sav vy watch CEO's in the business. I remember him once tellin...
Great Interview and video Ken, very jealous of your evening. How was the wine? I have a bottle but am not sure whether to open it or keep it sat in pride of place in my wine cellar Andrew
to give us this interesting article. I can understand your point of not mixing your day time job with your role as a moderator/ collector. I also draw a clear line between my job and my passion for watches. Melvin
thank you very much for taking the effort to bring us this exceptional personality closer. I'll try to pay a visit to the Hublot booth in Basel - may I am lucky to meet Mr Biver (and try his cheese?). This man is overflowing with inspiration and energy! C...
