In watchmaking, careers can still span decades, and we are not even talking about families that own their own brands. Engravers and polishing specialists might be at manufactures or specialised producers for upwards of 20 years. This means that for however long you own a particular watch, the people who worked on that piece might be with you for the length of your own journey with that watch. This is a bit of a romanticised notion, to be sure, but it also applies to the front-office folks, and sometimes even the top brass. Even if they are not at the same companies, or in the same roles, as when you first meet or hear of them, there is a good chance that they will remain in the industry for their entire careers.
We choose to begin this story about TAG Heuer Designer in Chief Guy Bove this way because we first met him in 2006, when he was Georges Kern?s chief designer at IWC. As we have noted before, his design for tonneau-tortue Da Vinci remains one of our favourites. Over the years, he moved from IWC to Chopard, and then to Breitling with Kern again, and then finally to TAG Heuer. Despite the many familiar faces one encounters in the niche watchmaking trade, few relationships graduate to the level of friendship. For this reason...
