Interview:

1- What does the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève represent for you?
2- Why did you agree to be jury member?
3- What makes in your opinion the value of a watch?

1. The Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève represents to me a vital and effective process in the continual search for excellence and innovation at the centre of the watch industry.

2. I agree to be a Jury member because it is an honour and  pleasure to judge excellence and innovation in the production of man's most universal companion, -the watch.

3. The value in a watch is in the artistry, workmanship and ingenuity that has been put into it.
