By combining these attributes, this book serves as an intelligent, plush, and often fun exposition on a topic that tends toward the tedious. Schmidt is a natural writer, his voice refreshingly casual and to the point as he moves through technical expl...2018-02-211h 01

The Worn & Wound PodcastEpisode 32: Knowing Your Customer – Interview with Raymond Weil CEO Elie BernheimSwiss watchmaking is largely the domain of large conglomerates. Independents, while not necessarily scarce, are certainly the minority, and those that do exist largely play in the arena of haute horlogerie. Founded 40 years ago, Raymond Weil is a relative newcomer to the world of Swiss horology, but in that time it’s maintained its independence by staying a family-owned company. Today, we’re speaking to Elie Bernheim, who became the third-generation CEO of Raymond Weil in 2014, taking over from his father, Olivier Bernheim.
