This is Superlative: A Podcast about watches, the people behind them, and the worlds that inspire them. This week on the Superlative Podcast, our host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by Stephane von Gunten, Founder of Haute-Rive Watches. To start the show Ariel has Stephane dive into his journey from working at multiple brands to creating his own watch brand. They begin to talk about how Stephane grew up in the same area that his family’s ancestors were making watches in, and how the world of engineering and watch making intercept. Ariel asks about what Stephane did at Ulysses Nardin with researching silicone, where those efforts led, and what his research team did when he worked at Patek Philippe as well. As they transition into Haute-Rive from talking about Stephane’s career, Ariel and Stephane discuss the tech specs behind the Honoris 1 with its 1000 hour power reserve, and what the future of the brand’s designs might entail. Ariel asks about the initial strategy for securing the investment needed to start the brand, and he inquires into how the testing is being done in the Swiss luxury industry.
