Kevin O'Leary's Hot Takes on Watches & Wonders 2024 and the Watch Industry

A couple of months ago, Mr. Wonderful and I met up in Geneva during Watches & Wonders 2024. We discussed the industry in general, our favorite pieces we saw during the show, and whether Kevin considers all the other brand's exhibiting outside Watches & Wonders "Pirates".

    For those who are confused about Kevin O'Leary's statement: he said the first watch he purchased was a Cartier. However, his first watch was a 1976 Speedmaster given to him by his dad. The difference is that the Speedmaster was his first watch but was a gift, whereas 10 years later, he personally purchased his first watch, which was the Cartier Panthere.

    WilliamWood Chrono regular production is on the $3k. The $7k may be a special order or that specific one for Shark Tank.

    For the last several years, Tudor has released some amazing models: the Marine Nationale FXD, the BB54, the new BB58GMT. Glad to see Nomos keeping the Tangente fresh with the new dial offerings.

    He seldom talks about Cartier. And now that he got the crash, he starts talking about it. Definitely a promo for his access to buy the crash. I’m jealous
