Patek Philippe

I hope I’m allowed to post links - www.handelszeitung.ch Must say (I had to use Google translate to English), I find he seems a man who is supremely…hmm…confident in his own abilities. One might feel, even, that he comes across as arrogant. Though... 

There's the video of the live launch, I hope it doesn't violate any rule. I don't know why but I can't add it with the button www.instagram.com Anyway, like in the article, I've noticed the abundance of the pronoun I I... I...I... and so.... by Th... 

I was also struck by the pronouns used. As someone who, in my professional life, has always been very careful to credit the team around me, it rubbed me the wrong way. Of course I don’t own Patek. But then, even as the chap in charge, he is actually simpl... 

Unsurprised too.

“‘ I've been responsible for creation for a long time. I'm good at it without really having a clue, I never went to design school.” “The haters are mostly people who have never had a Patek and never will.” “ Also, I really have endless ideas. We recently ...

Present size looks monstrous in square as per Patek DNA IMHO.

Not very intelligent at all, in my opinion. He’s just riding the value of a name established long ago, and a very fat bank account. His design “prowess” was first shown in the hideous crown horns on dress watches, and that didn’t last very long. Now you c... 

he just just shown his no-talent as a watch designer.

I just sent to NY my wife’s Twenty-4 for a new battery and I’ll get it back at the end of November and the cost is over $600 (no polishing, please). I own three vintage Calatrava and I’ll keep them because I like the size and simple design. But I’d never ... 

He sounds like a confident man. I remember when the pilot watch 5524 and 5960 steel bracelet came out, it took collectors a little while to get used to them. Perhaps acceptance for these earlier pieces enabled him to become more confident. Hopefully discu... 

So I was actually initially quite taken by the look of the new two-tone model (ok, purists, you can shoot me now!). There’s something a bit formal about the straight sides that appeals to my baroque side. [as for the others: Green ain’t my colour, and the... 

I do own a few PP's ....and still find the new Cubitus ugly !!!

the interview very disturbing to say the least. Thiery did not found this company. It has had a great heritage for hundreds of years. It has many employees, all of whom make the company work and grow. Yet hearing Thiery, it is all about him and by him. I ... 

...of the cubitus design, which is highly intelligent and oh so right:: )) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SiMyO6qKPg

…and he puts it well in terms of creative confidence.

Sorry for the double post. Not sure what happened

Is it the arrogance, the hubris, or the utter delusion of the man?
