Brian Kim damn right! He has an infectiously (pun intended) awesome personality!

That speech between 5:00 and 10:00 gave me goosebumps.

please be with us Jean Claud, for another 100 years

And Wei Koh’s way of conducting the interview is conducive to getting the best out of JCB. The questions posed are clever and timely. Excellent work. Very professional!

Whenever I see JCB I’ve learned to hit like and then press play. Respect ✊

If JCB was a political leader he would garner a lot of influence. The world needs passionate, foward thinkers and amazing leaders like him. A great father figure and incredible CEO.

This is one of the best interviews I've seen the last decades. This is more than a watch talk. The thoughts are the vision of next economy generation. Eternal, life as the important asset, King and Queen as customer and product which needs to be combined perfectly. Love as social, ethic etc. Behavior. And much more. Let an economist create business theories of that things.

Mr Biver is a pure gentleman. I am in awe discovering who he is. Thank you KZread and thank you Mr Biver.

The most interesting conversation I've watched in a long time. Way beyond watch talk. Great job.

amazing person and as always: beautiful speeches

Having watched JCB's previous speeches in different occasions many times and knowing his basic ideology and critical thinking, I still felt this was an amazing interview with a great deal of passion and food of thought! One might not agree with everything he said, of course. But as he is arguably one of the most experienced living person in the watch industry for the past half century, it's always beneficial to listen to and ponder about what he says. Bravo!!

Thank you for this interview. It gave me a great deal of inspiration.

A true leader. Inspiring passion in people. Bless you and bless the excellent interviewer.

Thank You Mr Jean Claude. Thank You for yours interviews Wei!

Fantastic interview. So much to learn from Mr. Biver with respect to business ethics and strategy and in leading a purposeful life.

It is always mesmerizing to hear the great JCB talk! As a passionate student of the watchmaking industry, it is always the best class that I can attend. Thank you for conducting and sharing this, Wei Koh, you touched upon some great points. This was much needed, especially in these dark times.

Great interview, both of them are gems of men. Quick suggestion to the channel, if i may, The shelf behind Wei shouldn't be. A plain wall would do too. Doesn't make it any worse the way it is, but it will certainly make the video better. Thanks for the upload. Cheers

great questions Wei and of course great to hear JC, we so much need this level of consciousness and attitude. Thanks JC, Wei.

Thank you Wei for this great interview of JCB! Fantastic content, please bring us more

Fantastic interview!! Please keep doing these (especially now) as it gives us watch nuts something to look forward to while staying at home.

Always a please to watch mr Biver. A true gentleman !

Always a pleasure to hear the genius of M. Biver

thank you so much Revolution, this is not only about watches, but about what we have been doing wrong all this time, and what has to be done to better our world

Absolutely awesome to watch. This man should run the world

It's so cool how Jean Claude Biver does these interviews

Please release more content like that. JCB is always to the point. Also love the "mess" behind Wei :)

So many thoughts to take away . Thank you both...well done!

This needs more views.....pure logic.

Great interview, Wei! JCB, oh how I love listening to you! I always learn so much about business, philosophy, and leadership from you. What indomitable spirit!

I love listening to JLC, such a smart guy knowing what he‘s talking about, always with a childish smile. He knows what he‘s talking about.

Surtout des gens comme vous ! ...esperont qu'il y aie plus de gens qui comprennent ...Peace & Love,...et merci !

Your questions were just terrific Wei !!! Thank you !!!

This is the best video I have ever seen. So humble of both people that I respect. One question, which watch is JCB wearing on this video?

I love jc Biver. Just made my day. What a man #jcbiverforworldpresident

Great interview! This will be a golden age for independent watchmaking!

Fantastic interview, what a legend

Best interview so far

Good to see you sir! And Wei, looking good man!

This is a gem

This guy is always the best!

JCB extremely brilliant man, could listen to Jean for hours

I love the passion and he has some good points. Connection to the eternal through watches seems like a theme that is already going on ... 0-service Rolex should be a thing. But I disagree with some aspects: - this is not the same as the Spanish flu which killed 2.7% of the entire world population (would be equivalent to 210 mio. today) in 1918 nobody was getting on a plane from Wuhan to NYC in a day ... - digital mass surveillance will not solve this but decrease everybody's freedom

@@yenrodeiro9731 is that so ? I don't believe it. We have learned a lot since then but there remains to be a lot to discover. I would argue that science has figured out things about the new virus within 3 months that took almost 2 years in the case of SARS-1 and where never discovered for the Spanish Flu. We have devoleped a lot ... Jean-Claude actually pointed out that South Korea and Singapore have used smartphones to mitigate the outbreak - 21st century technology. Clearly not all is well but I would not short sell human development in the last 100 years.

You are so right that patek does not need to sell online. It is the ADs who need this flexibility to survive!

Well said Gentlemen.... Catastrophic failing of the old ways.... the environmental cost and human cost....If politicians can’t think straight, business leaders will have to watch this episode and think even harder... the world bank on you now.

Top notch interview 💯

top bloke. would be a dream come true to blaze a cheeky one with JC and Wim Hof. two of my favourite hippies. stay well.

America are you listening? We need solidarity and love!👍

The King has spoken!

Happy weekend I am more interested of all your video!!!

Can you imagine a conversation beteen JCB and FPJ? Even with all respect that JCB has shown in this interview, two men are opposites like Hublot Big Bang and Chronometre Bleue.

You should take opportunity of the current lockdown to do a bit of decluttering for your next interview! JCB is fantastic as usual

How do I meet this man in person? All of his content is awesome.

New century needs new approach. 100% agree. The crisis will be catalytic of a change we will see in months and years to come.

Thoughts on Grand Seiko?

im glad time heals.

I don't understand why people hate jcb so much. Every time I heard his interview I am in awe.

inspirational !

Great job

wow , Wei , ou hit a home run having him on , like the finest Rabbi

great guy - visionary

Who is going to write JCB’s biography ?

Not sure he is correct on Art Nouveau prices being down, I've not noticed much change. maybe at the very high end where he does his shopping!

Absolute genius I love it

Teaching Europeans that customer is the boss is like teaching Basel World owners that you must not keep customer's money without their consent while your Fair has been cancelled. Changing European business culture into Anglo-Saxon or American culture of customer service and customer-focus would require cultural and generational change. In other words it will take another 30-50 years at a minimum. Customer always right is antithetical idea to most businesses in Europe. That is why there is very little trust between consumers and retailers in EU (especially online).

sorry but that's nonsense. customer service is no better in the UK or US than in continental Europe. would you buy a Ford over Mercedes or Porsche? Ralph Lauren over Chanel? I can't even think of a decent, never mind a luxury US watch brand. and as for the way the US manages health care, social services and education... I think I know where I'd rather live. you can keep your apple watches also thanks.

That defines your life experience and it will not likely change. The examples you have listed tell me you don't even grasp the argument. Customer focus has NOTHING to do with luxury brands. We are talking about CULTURE not RL vs. Chanel.

@@anonymousonlineuser6543 Well I think you are being trite and making such sweeping generalisations that they render your argument pointless, and not a little arrogant. I've found actual existing US companies terrible to deal with and have had few problems in France, Italy, Portugal or Spain. If customer service is so great in the US how do you explain the bizarre (and I would assert profoundly unequal) way the US runs things like its healthcare, third level education system, social services and so on - this would lead me to despair if I was unlucky enough to live there again (yes I lived in the US for a while and also in Continental Europe). as for living 2 hours from where I was born, I live in Ireland so nowhere is much more than 3 hours from anywhere else so you have me on that one...

I disagree on new consumer wanting new things only to connect to the future. What has happen in the past 20 years is completely opposite. Thanks to internet people become more educated and more discerning consumers and thus demand hand made traditional article of clothing, watchmaking , vintage cars , mid century furniture and architecture, etc. People through proliferation of information connect to the true value and true excellence in craftsmanship and design. There will always be a market for stupid people with money (modern art, vintage wines), but true craftsmanship and quality are rare and more and more sought after. So blanket statements about new generations needing only new sneakers, electric cars and new I-Phones is superficial and ignoring obvious trend of looking back in times for true examples of excellence.

Mr Biver is so right, i live in Italy and the luck of support from the EU and other European contruies is really disgraceful. This virus is making us splitting instead of combining us and making support each other to overcome this terrible situation. Every country needs many people with Mr Biver mindset and probably the world will be a better place to live

Jean-Claude Biver is a GENIUS & STRONG. The very BEST leader of the industry.

Mr Biver makes some great points but seems to be missing the bigger picture and thus seems to be engaging in various degrees of contradictions. He talks about a new consciousness, the need to love, the need to protect the planet, but then talks about buying Amazon and Alibaba shares, as if these two companies were not at the forefront of the system that is currently destroying the planet. He talks about entering the 21st century but that seems only to entail online commerce, whereas all other goals should pretty much stay the same. Overall, he doesn't seem to realize that the very nature of the business he's worked in all his life goes against all the values he preaches.

Luciole Dizerot you do realize that he is not Mahatma Gandhi, but rather a businessman and that he was percisely asked about the future of the watch industry, not the future of wold trade and resourceful world economics? Also you seem to miss the irony he expressed and that he clearly said he is not in the banking business. Also if you are searching for life answers, you should ask yourself, not a stranger. He might have answers, but they might not apply to you, or your needs and visions. God bless.
