Description

We discuss the tradeoffs involved in managing a fast-growing watch brand – in particular, how independent watch brand Czapek is navigating a period of intense growth and demand. Together with Xavier de Roquemaurel (CEO of Czapek & Cie.), we look at what’s going on behind the scenes to expand their operations, manage customer relationships, and plan sustainably for the long term.

Hosted by Asher Rapkin and Gabe Reilly, co-founders of Collective Horology, Openwork goes inside the watch industry.
