Episode 37: George Bamford And Thomas Pink Team Up

We hope you took a bathroom break before you started listening to episode 37! This mailbag episode is bursting (this is it, last chance for that bathroom break) at the seams, going longer than usual to give you all the commentary and insights you’ve come to expect from The Real Time Show.

(6:00) Oh yea, sorry, there’s a mail bag to get to. First question: what do Alon and Rob think of LVMH reviving Daniel Roth?
(14:20) WatchBox recently bought DeBethune and Reuge; good or bad for the industry?
(24:10) « Linde Werdelin », there’s a name we haven’t heard in a while…
(29:15) What would Rob and Alon do if watches and jewelry didn’t exist (☹️)?
