Earlier this week, Breitling took to the skies (literally) to relaunch the iconic Navitimer, a watch that, 70 years ago, defined the pilot\\u2019s watch with its functionality and purpose. Today though, we chat to the man who masterminded the relaunch, Breitling CEO Georges Kern. Kern has, throughout his long career in the watch business, been a dynamic leader with a strong vision of what a successful watch brand looks like. Felix finds out how in a few short years, he\\u2019s steered the brand into its most authentic expression yet, and how the Navitimer has maintained its relevance in an era of ubiquitous technology. On top of that, we get Mr Kern\\u2019s take on the state of supply, demand and the watch market.

Before that though, Andy and Felix chat about MoonSwatch drama, Tiffany\\u2019s questionable NFTs and what it\\u2019s like on the ground in Geneva.

This episode is sponsored by Breitling. Head into your local boutique to check out the new Navitimer, or head to breitling.com and buy it online.

Oh, and Felix is also (still) in love with his Artem Strap \\u2014 check them out here.
