#19 | Mastering the Invisible | Jean-Claude Biver
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Jean-Claude Biver revived Blancpain, ran Omega, and built Hublot. At 76, with no budget to answer to, he started again with his son Pierre. In this conversation he explains what he does with that freedom: he finishes the parts of a watch no one will ever see. We talk about passion as the opposite of work, respect as a form of love, the lessons he took from Gérald Genta, and why he still calls himself a hippie.
