Tim’s Interviews from 2023 Dubai Watch Week: Biver, MB&F, Ressence, and More

[@lovepotionsinc]

'I wear love on my wrist.' That's beautiful. Will stick with me for a long time, that one. Thank you for sharing that moment with Mr. Biver, Tim. Edit: full quote of Mr. Biver on love translating to art in watchmaking - 'We want a watch that you can say 'I wear love on my wrist. I wear a soul on my wrist. And this soul is protecting me. This soul is helping me in my life. That's the role of our watches.'

Biver is hilarious. clearly a workaholic who LOVES watches.

[@Doggo-frencton]

Tim dropped a banger on us! Thanks friend!

[@joker14n]

T. M. killing it with a true legend. The depth of creativity from these watch makers is extraordinary. …and that Grand Recital is stunning

[@masterwatch]

nice one Tim, this is a great video and very nice to meet you too.

[@RunningFast]

Awesome compilation, love this. Biver as an opener was mega. Calce dodging the question about Robert's and Stephen's roles in the new Cardan Tourbillion very telling (😢), and great to hear the new FB3 color way came from customer feedback! When I first saw the FB3 I told them the same, I'll be back when the black dial comes in the way case 😊

Amazing video Tim, very informative. Love the new Greubel Forsey watches, Thanks for sharing

[@thewatchloungechris]

Always love interviews with Biver so much passion for the hobby

[@davidparrishproductions5082]

I opened my favorite Christmas gift early! Thanks Tim!

[@TAP1999]

Biver is the man 💪

[@ricardochaveste7367]

Very impressive collection and stories of this young man, I loved everything about this collection, absolutely enjoy of the military and James bond aficionado, great content as always...until next time...

[@docfluty]

really unique pieces. Thanks for sharing.

[@mikepfeifer3615]

Very refreshing to hear Mr Meylan say it's not always about money. Maybe you could remind Mr Dufour about that! Great video Tim!

[@YongJoonPaek]

bovets really do it for me

[@vladansretenovic1952]

Great episode, independents are brilliant, so much more ideas and really highest watchmaking techniques! Real refreshment in a silly world of Daytonas and GMTs…

[@avmelidor]

Every single reveal in this episode was pure eye candy

[@avmelidor]

Mr Biver is an extraordinary man

[@themetascientist]

Mr Biver is an amazing man.

Is this sharing bracelet oem with Jacob?

[@andrejensen7837]

This man is fascinating. This is the mentality that has made western culture.

[@therealcarsandchrono]

Nice

[@tanman7627]

Great video for when you want to wear a couple houses on your wrist. Completely unattainable for 99.5 % of people 😂

[@BobbyDazzler888]

Shame about the hugely limited new blue streamliner…

[@johnher4946]

I am perpetually simultaneously impressed by and disappointed in Frederique Constant. 150-200 hours of hand labor is about halfway to a Voutilainen or Dufour, yet the total is exactly the sum of its parts. A Patek minute repeater costing nearly half a million takes ~400 hours to make for comparison. For that time investment $45k is actually one the best "deals" in the entire industry given the mfg cost, but the aesthetics don't stand out much from the crowd. A watch that takes half as long to construct as a Vingt-8 and costing half as much should be at least halfway there and I don't think they're there yet (but it's obvious they care and are trying). They obviously have infrastructure most independent watchmakers can only dream of but are always spinning their wheels it seems. Hopefully they can hire or recruit new stylists, movement constructors, and finishing experts to figure out which corners should or shouldn't be cut, as well as build a unique aesthetic for themselves.

[@watchdork]

Do I love bovet now? Stop this madness Tim I cannot love any more watch companies.

[@yashav2949]

"nice beaver!". ... "Thank you, I just had i stuffed".

[@tomlucas4269]

amazing episode, maybe spilt in little peices next time

[@AliReza-do5my]

Summary of this video was we came up with 10 watches that already sold to a sheikh

[@craigriley9892]

This whole video was a reminder of how poor I am.

[@mikemurphy8996]

Not sure how half these watch companies survive. Who’s buying these pieces? I’m a “watch enthusiast” and can’t imagine spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a watch I’ve never heard of. I’m finding that a lot of expensive watches are all starting to look the same. Like tacky Jacob and co watches. Hideous looking watches that have tourbillions

[@baburadil456]

Great question.

[@kevinkariuki239]

Wear gloves sil vous plait!

[@DzejWiJV]

Why is he shouting? 🤔

[@valebliz]

That Biver is so incredibly bland…
