The #moonswatch saga rolls on - raising questions all the way. What impact will it have on the @omegawatches brand? Has it saved @Swatch? And why is it still so hard to get this $260 watch? Posing those and more for @nytimes today.

In @FT this morn - the @WWF reports on the sustainability profile of the watch and jewellery industry. ‘Much to be desired.’

In today’s @FinancialTimes, new @Bremont CEO @DavideCerrato5 says he’s going to make the brand “one of the big players in watchmaking.” A new entry-price, adventure, hitting the US and a $59m war chest are all part of his plan.

Jean Arnault speaks exclusively with @BoF, describing his new @LouisVuitton Tambour line of high-tariff watches as ‘a gamble’. Puts LV in direct competition with pure players - can it compete?

Interviewed the 28-year-old Frédéric Arnault for @BoF now he’s three years into the gig running @TAGHeuer. Behind a paywall, but if you can get there, worth your dollar:

Got some @Max33Verstappen time at the weekend. And a more reflective take on his position in @F1. He might even retire. Check it out over on @RobbReport. Thanks to @TAGHeuer for the access.

Drove, slavered over and then wrote about Jaguar Land Rover’s last ICE sports car, the Jaguar F-Type R75 for Robb Report. And so the end begins.

Here we go with a little column for @RobbReport on why car buyers are pushing up prices of 15-year-old performance cars to outsmart mindless modern motors stuffed full of semi-conductors.

Luxury watchmaking and the lab-grown diamond debate. More interesting than it sounds. My column for @watchprolive this month.

Does the GPHG matter? My take from inside the ropes for @watchprolive today: watchpro.com/how-important-i…
Lab-grown diamonds hit watchmaking - @TAGHeuer dabbled, now @Breitling has gone all in. But with a murky environmental profile and critics calling a romance deficit, is this the right path for a luxury watch brand? Report in today’s @nytimes.
