So I hear Thierry speaking about “knowing watches” and “passion”.
First, I don’t know much about Patek or Thierry. I’ve met him once at a dinner and spoke to him for maybe 2 minutes. He was pleasant, as he should be when he is selling something.
But, my second hand knowledge of him learned through some pretty serious Patek collectors is that they doubt his passion, his eye for design and therefore his ability to steer Patek in the right direction.

Hearsay and opinion
Jay, Having met him only once, I have no reliable data, but I don't think hearsay regarding the opinions of "some pretty serious Patek collectors" amounts to reliable data either. From where I sit, the ongoing success of the brand is the best evidence of ...
Well, the “hearsay” is based on first hand interactions over several years.
It is coming from a group that seem to have the same opinion, group think perhaps. So that’s maybe something to consider. But it sounds like neither your or I are anywhere near close enough to have an opinion. And I bring this up now as it’s the opposite ...
