There are probably only a few individuals in watchmaking as distinctive as H. Moser & Cie CEO, Edouard Meylan. A champion of straight-talk in Swiss watchmaking, Meylan has never been afraid to ruffle feathers, going so far as to create watches that poke fun at time-honoured conventions. ?You know, we Swiss tend to be X, Y and Z?I?m Swiss so I can say this,? is how Meylan has typically framed certain matters.
As far as interviews go, this is great for watch specialist media. Indeed, all too often the challenge is deciding what things we can print without upsetting other brands, even though we are not the ones making the points. Follow-up questions are almost entirely unusable because we would have to break certain codes in watchmaking to press certain points. We admit that we have cut brand call-outs from previous Meylan interviews, but we will not be doing so this time.
For old school professionals such as myself, an interview with Meylan is like a throwback to the days of the late Nicolas G. Hayek and Luigi Macaluso. For a time, the only person who dared to speak so freely was the irascible Jean-Claude Biver.
In an era when the famously secretive nature of the watch trade ? often an unwelcome and unnecessary encumbrance ?...
