It’s too early in the morning, and my jet lag isn’t letting my absorb all the nuances and benefits of this collaboration, in spite of reading this article.
I look forward to the more-learned WPS purists here enlightening us.

Sounds like I’ve got to hit the horological history books
. Does Rexhepi need LVMH to sell 10 amazing chiming watches at 500k? Perhaps I overestimated his appeal
He doesn't! But he's happy to be the "Opener" for the new Harry Winston Opus series.
To Rexhep, it's an opportunity to be in the history books for the new Harry Winston Opus Series equivalent.
Agreed! LV comes in, jacks up prices...

Smart!
I think it's a great way for LVMH to elevate their core watch business from a brand perspective. Lots of brands in other consumer spaces do this. Also how cool is it that someone who came as a refugee is now working directly with the son of one of the ric...
This new breed of independents ..
Are pushing people to buying big brands again… so the other way around of what we witnessed in the last 10/15 years. Sad but true
