The world would have been a more beautiful place if more people have a mind like Mr Stern. What a genius, passionate man! Incredible interview, absolutely loved it!

[@oliverjones5263]

You a fan of these two Nico? God Tier?

[@abdelatifnettour6539]

Where is your review about new pieces from hublot and jacob&co ??

[@jamieopulence]

You know the truth!! Love that

[@paulsymonds820]

Such passion and beautiful exquisite art…..great interview with a great leader!

[@martinboulden3540]

With so many watch channels on you tube today its great that we have quality like this - cream always rises to the top - Awesome Interview Wei.

[@Doctorbondofficial]

such a wonderful interview, so refreshing. nicely done Wei!!!

[@matthewb9935]

Absolutely fantastic interview. So classy and respectful for Wei to give Thierry space and time to speak without interruption. Great kudos to Wei for his encyclopedic knowledge of Patek (and all important watch brands) and for his intimate, personable interview style,

[@007-i6z8v]

Fantastic interview! Such an gentlemen, He represents Patek very well!

[@andycorso8498]

What an interview….. he is my kind of guy.

[@berndschaefer5381]

I liked the drive and enthusiasm of Mr Stern. Striking how clear he articulated the brand strategy and his demonstration of leadership to new & innovative timepieces. Succession planning at his best to get his young sons involved into the product development phase. The new additions to the Patek family shown are gorgeous. PS: for what it is worth, in my opinion - excellent strategy not to run the risk to reduce Patek to be ONLY recognized and associated with Nautilus. Patek Philippe is much bigger and has so much more to offer.

[@jamieopulence]

I love hearing from Thierry - thanks for sharing this interview. The new Annual Calendar travel time is genius!! Patek is very much at the top of their game. Very exciting for the future. Patek is King 👑

[@productionoutages]

BEST coverage of W&W. Hodinkee aint got shit on wei

[@bsodmike]

Agreed. This is the best interview with Thierry, ever. He just touched on some great questions from Wei and just opened up like never before. Kudos!

[@gqwarren]

Something very simple that Patek just does it right - the date window at the right size and right color, and most importantly, in the right position (so close to the edge) that blends into the dial. Great interview! 👌

[@emexokezie7796]

I always like watching Thierry Stern and his open honest disposition on his products. His approach is well dimensioned, his father before him did a great grounding job indeed. Should I be at watches and wonders this weekend, I have a specially designed gift around his logo for him. Great mellow chap. Cheers for the interview.

[@kevinbermingham3135]

Great interview. Like that Thierry didn't want to just focus on 5711s and preserve the brand identity by having a broader offering.

[@korbendallas71]

He seems like a well rounded, grounded nice guy. Great interview with a living horological legend.

[@davidelliott948]

Great interview! Thierry provides great perspective. Always thinking long-term with the customer in mind.

[@robp2063]

Great interview. Thanks for asking definitively on the 5711’s…

[@guillaumeschirra7699]

Thank you M. Stern. Thank you Wei for this video.

[@maxlyca230]

Loved it, I could watch this time and time again. Thank you wei 🙏🏻

[@jasonb4988]

Great to hear his sons are involved ! That’s what life is all about ..

[@markdance574]

For me a Patek is something that transfers / joins generations - if I had one it would have to be not for me but for my son to look forward to having both because it was his dads and because it’s also a Patek

[@TheRunningManZ]

Last year they released the sports watches ahead of the dress watches a few days apart. I was hoping you’d ask Thierry if there was a second batch of watches to be released at Watches and Wonders? I’m guessing Aquanaut related with it being 25 but I don’t think they’ve announced all their watches. PS it was a great interview. Not many questions were needed, leaving space for Thierry to speak. Well spoken by him, well interviewed by Wei Koh. Too job!

[@harrychowd]

Currently hiding in the bushes above igman, west of borosh wearing my 126710blro on oyster. Looking for something sharp to open my chef boyardee can.

[@jasonb4988]

Fabulous interview ! Love the new Calatrava ! Such a fan ..

[@christianebert8086]

Thanks for this video - this is how a great private entrepeneur speaks: no corporate buzz words, just simple and down to earth, clear to understand - congratulations Thierry Stern - God bless Patek and the owner family

[@timstoyle9773]

Great interview Wei. My highlight of watches and wonders and makes you realise why Patek is so much more than just the Nautilus.

[@KBD-ONE]

Rappers made the nautilus popular, but the Calatrava is the real Patek

[@myintthuzaraung2718]

Amazing conversation with Mr President of Patek Philippe.

[@donuts24]

Mr. Stern consider this an open invitation for scotch, cigars and watch talk! That was brilliant! Well done!

[@arthurliberian]

These are such beautiful pieces just nailed it here

[@bjoernaltmann]

I thought about vintage cameras when I saw the dial for the first time. Hasselblad, Bolex, Beaulieu... Very nice indeed!

[@johnnewman3316]

The King of the watch world……Long live the King!

[@johnhjic2]

Hello, what an interesting interview. Thank you.

[@demetrisloizides8710]

Excellent interview!

[@AbdulHamid-pi9kp]

Wow! Mr. Stern is so family man, speak like a layman rather than a businessman and really want his customer to preserve something for the next generation.

[@johnbullion5430]

The new 5270 green dial is my new grail watch. It is gorgeous!

[@darytuan1130]

I saw the passion of making watches in his eyes and words, and that’s how Patek be so successful.

[@petersmith5832]

I luv this channel, very well spoken.

[@bigbrotherwatchesdannyboy306]

One cannot deny the beauty of Patek. 🤷🏻‍♂️🔥 At least I can't!

[@tyronebrennand4958]

Great interview! Thank you

[@coronetmag]

When Mr Stern mentioned his grandpa, dad and sons in the first five minutes of the interview, I was reminded that you never really own the Patek Co…

[@ashvinbissesar5427]

love the way he is grooming and training his sons.

[@N7Sound]

Patek baby. They just know about horology and watchmaking. They have their vision, principles. They know that they want and why they want it. Such a nice interview.

[@stevesmith7997]

Brilliant interview! Dial like my old Pentax ! Stunning watches!

[@kaiserphoenix01]

Recently Patek gets criticised for cutting corners, particularly in finishing (ie no interior angles etc) but I have to disagree. A watch is so much more than just movement finishing, what Patek has are viable products. Their watches, are beautiful, mechanically impeccable and very wearable. It stands up to daily wear, whilst maintaining many of the characteristics of a hand crafted watch, even though in modern times, there is less human intervention, that is now replaced with better movements, thinner, and reliability. Great interview.

[@KBD-ONE]

8 patents... We need more info on that

[@bsodmike]

I think that comment applies to the movement within the Chronograph 5170G that I bought just before Covid kicked in. It’s movement is designed with the least amount of interior angles. Sure, you can add interior angles, make it harder to finish, throw longer man hours to finish it and then the customer gets landed with a more inflated bill right?

[@kaiserphoenix01]

@@bsodmike Yes but I guess this is where disagreement happens. I also agree with you in that with the current "pricing" perhaps the lack of interior angles is somewhat unfortunate but probably inevitable, specially when you consider most watches that have impeccable finishing, say Voutileinen or Akrivia costs much more. But then otoh, Patek being Patek, should we be expecting more as well? It should be an expensive product anyway by the nature of the brand, maybe the pricing is too low?

[@bsodmike]

@@kaiserphoenix01 it’s not just pricing being low though is it. If a movement needs more time to finish , and Patek has to meet 65,000 pieces per year, they will need a larger work force too. Ultimately such decisions would fall on Thierry but I personally have no complains about the In-house Patek Chronograph movement. Also $80,000 isn’t all that “low”, when you consider that you can get a perpetual calendar for around $120,000/-. If you make the Chrono cost more by adding interior angles, that changes their entire pricing structure too.

[@kaiserphoenix01]

Yes exactly. I think ur slightly misunderstanding me in that I completely agree with your points. Just asking the question as to whether the entire watch industry pricing has gone too high or if Patek is having to “adjust” their quality and pricing to make it balanced as you say. The more angles the longer it takes and more expensive. But should Patek be more expensive? Or is it already high enough?

[@vasilecaniuca7244]

Thank you 🙏

[@appleblueragcrip]

Listening to Mr Stern you can tell he takes pride in any piece has to do with. Proper watch enthusiast..

[@petersampson5202]

GOD BLESS EVERYONE AT REVOLUTION WATCH. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIENDS. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. GOD BLESS YOU THIERRY. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE MY FRIEND. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE PATEK PHILIPPE. 🙏

[@LEIF_10119]

great interview, thank you for sharing

[@fuuujinvrc6868]

I like how mr. Steirn does not need almost any questions from the host, he lives watches so much he can talk about them on his own for 20 minutes haha

[@marcnaidu5804]

Excellent. Good to hear the straightforward and candid responses from thierry stern. While the 5711 is iconic to PP, he wants people to remember that there are other product lines. Of course, choosing the 5711 to commentate the 170 Tiffany anniversary may just further reinforce customers association with PP and the 5711. I’m sure much smarter minds at PP have considered all of this. Looking forward to seeing more innovations from PP. Nice interview Wei☀️

[@Mthusiast4life]

Beautiful watches designed by the Stern's❤️ Genau diese Calatrava Annual Calendar ist für mich der absolute Knaller🔥

[@andrewm9669]

2023 is done, we’re working on 2024. Wei’s face (and everyone hanging on his every word watching) 😳

[@vonkruel]

This dial is one of the best things I've seen from the show. Well outside my own budget, but these are both really gorgeous. A perpetual calendar seems to add more complication than it's really worth (both to the movement, and for the user), but an annual calendar seems really practical & attractive to me. A guy can dream! Interesting interview, thanks 👍

[@jch2429]

Like the interview and the watches. Well done and good quality. One feedback though, is that considered fake patina?

[@zachscheel3784]

Truly love this time only. A grail piece to replay my IWC Spitfire Auto

[@monkeypawism]

Thierry just dropped the 5 min elevator pitch in 20 mins and I didn't want it to end.

[@terencekoh6296]

awesome interview!

[@416jr]

This was awesome , just subbed to the channel and I love it brother , keep it up , patek is the best watch brand in the world , 1.patek 2.AP 3- Rolex

[@MA89.]

Crazy good interview. Would love a patek one day

[@xxxxare]

hopefully we will see the combination of annual calendar and travel time in more models.... really like this very practical!

[@shaqfufu8908]

I love the subtle jab at AP which is true, they are a one hit wonder watch brand. Take way the RO and people could care less about AP

[@seannotaro473]

"We don't want to be a mono product".....well said sir, i completely agree

[@greaterbayareahero1401]

One thing about Patek is that they have class.

[@KBD-ONE]

Good content. Field watches are the new trend for the next decade.

[@sargentmcbadass]

I am curious what exactly that dial is made of. I don’t think I have seen any coverage of the material or process behind making the dial. Those dials remind me of AnOrdain watches and the beautiful dials they create by hand.

[@Joe-xo3xy]

Thierry Stern is a CEO I respect, especially his history with Patek, it makes for a very pure brand. However, his strategy to reposition the Calatrava in a bracket that is roughly $10,000 more than its predecessor, really seems unfair. I am not sure what to think, however, as an enthusiast, I am flexible and see a better future with Grand Seiko, especially following their newer offerings and calibres

[@kahuhipajae4088]

Who is the bigger all star in this interview, wow great job and beautiful watches.

[@Vikassy]

Great interview👍

[@Reference-ev4nu]

The 5326G is a watch that looks like it could have been made 50 years ago. Vintage look with modern components and very useful complications. It can be worn daily.

[@simplecookingwithjobay4356]

The simplicity of calatrava which I like it the most

[@dominickcolasanto6582]

You can feel Mr. Stern's passion and pride in your bones when he speaks that a true leader of a successful family company.

[@BWen3]

“Terry” lol. Great interview.

[@sypen1]

It’s great patek doesn’t want to be a mono product. Although I love AP they literally cannot create a new case design to save their life.

[@rannymisa7007]

Great guy that Mr Stern. Patek is in good hands.

[@fugitive88888]

That movement amazing

[@jeffreysbaysurftrips3686]

Class content!

[@adrianstephenmulyadi1226]

They could make series of nautilus(es) and variants and make crazy amount of money, but they don't. Patek is not 5711.

[@Notourtube]

Tiffany gave that 5711 to too many celebrity vs real watch enthusiast…. Kind of devalues the watch seeing Lebron and Leo being some of the first people to wear it. At least if you release it to celebrities, release it to the celebrities that are truly watch enthusiasts

[@kaiserphoenix01]

Its not supposed to go to watch enthusiasts lol. Its supposed to go to Tiffany's best clients, who coincdentally, many of whom are celebrities.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

Tiffany did allocations, not the Sterns. I agree with you however, but Patek didn't decide on that one.

[@danchapman5944]

Wei keeps quiet which tells you how good Stern is!

[@smoko321]

Wei is showing deference, because he's interviewing for his watch allocations. I can tell because this is how I beg Rolex SAs for watches.

[@marumaru7716]

@10:29 is the strap on the wrong ends of the 5326G? Just asking..

[@bbrebozo6417]

Launching very nice watch with cleaver movement on the 10th anniversary of the wannabe competition’s annual calendar GMT watch. A little like that Tiffany dial, Tiffany blue nautilus when the wannabe competition had a similarly colored dial getting a big commercial success. Do you think maybe M. Stern wants to make sure people see Patek ain’t nobody’s second fiddle, particularly if that wannabe isn’t really a haute horlogerie house like Patek?

[@backninebrews]

Wei with the big boss 🔥

[@davidelliott948]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the new green dial perpetual calendar is gorgeous!

[@jlg395]

It's impossible to imagine this man fighting a ground war in Ukraine, on either side. In fact, it's impossible to imagine him not wearing a suit.

[@robertreeves4754]

Best pilot watch

[@chiefexecutiveofficerofyoutube]

very much alike the fabulous 5236p

[@Teymurphell2]

Reaction at 19:16 priceless

[@sypen1]

A watch is gonna fall from that stand that you film on one day I a can almost guarantee it.

[@japd7897]

A Patek Philippe true diver would be ... so interesting, cool, desired, ...

[@jasontesla8888]

It’s look like oris watch 👍

[@radarrob1443]

What’s the point, more beautiful watches that you cannot buy at retail

[@j.burgess4459]

Now we are getting really serious 😎👍

[@bahar5757]

everyone is trying to follow the GS for dials

[@donkykon2094]

looks like a seiko dial

[@gusseisern1151]

My grandfather and i want to buy a patek. But Not possible.

[@umq5147]

Icon

[@Nefville]

If I ever get a chance to visit Patek Phillipe in Geneva I'm going to drink a bunch of water and excuse myself to the bathroom. If the bathroom is clean, then I'm impressed. Its one thing to make a watch like that, with attention to detail but I want a watch from a company that also has an attention to a cleanliness in the bathroom.

[@londonman8688]

how could you not ask him if he could help with supply

[@abea8415]

40k for the simple time date one???? what am i missing here? the economical disparity in today's world seems out of control... we are at an extreme where the rich no longer has a sense of the value of money... this is the average 1 year salary in the rich western world

[@chrish3540]

inflation

[@maxim29672]

Dial is similar to one used by Baltic

[@adrianlariva4410]

Best watch in the interview is the Cartier on your wrist

[@JohnSmith-vr9if]

I’d only buy a 5711
