- ▶ 2:40:01 David Rosenthal Do I go back to the Apple Watch?
- ▶ 3:03:07 David Rosenthal You know, wearing an Apple watch, what model, what style, what band says a lot about you too.
- ▶ 3:03:11 David Rosenthal I wear my Hermes band on my Apple watch.
- ▶ 3:04:43 Ben Gilbert It's a fashion strategy, but it's not a luxury strategy, and it's still subject to a functional displacement, like what happened with the Apple Watch.
- ▶ 3:46:51 David Rosenthal You can't walk out of there with a Birkin, but you sure as hell can walk out of there with a scarf or a piece of furniture or, uh, you know, Apple watch strap, you know, et cetera, et cetera.
- ▶ 4:16:54 David Rosenthal Apple alone ships way more Apple watches every year than the entire Swiss watch industry.

- ▶ 4:38:36 Ben Gilbert The Apple Watch addressed a completely new market.
- ▶ 4:38:39 Ben Gilbert So high-end watch people weren't going to buy an Apple Watch, period.
- ▶ 4:38:44 Ben Gilbert But for all the new people who were willing to buy an Apple watch, there was no reason to buy a 10,000 dollar watch.
- ▶ 4:38:51 David Rosenthal And for a small subset of those people who bought Apple watches, it then became the gateway into the high-end mechanical watch industry.
- ▶ 4:39:22 Ben Gilbert I mean, in the nineties, these quartz watches suddenly made 25 dollar watches possible, and like, that market went entirely away with the Apple Watch.
- ▶ 4:39:32 Ben Gilbert The, uh, the Fossil Watch stock went down 99% since the Apple Watch came out.

- ▶ 1:54:10 David Rosenthal And, well, we'll get to the Apple partnership in a little bit, but I was passed around between a few different people in the store until, ultimately, Susan helped me out, and she was great, and I think she actually might be a higher-level…

- ▶ 3:00:22 Ben Gilbert I wear an Apple Watch all day, every day.
- ▶ 3:01:20 Ben Gilbert Which is expensive for an Apple watch band, but it's sort of like in the ballpark of Apple accessories.

- ▶ 3:05:39 David Rosenthal I don't want to fully judge or leave a negative mark on the company solely because of the Apple Watch thing, but I just gotta say, you know, we've seen with a few times here in these generations that the seeds of the next challenge are…
- ▶ 3:07:03 Ben Gilbert If they're going to address the whole world, they're gonna have to change what they sell, and the Apple Watch may be the first little version of that.
- ▶ 3:08:12 Ben Gilbert And that Apple Watch represents the second faction.

- ▶ 3:21:49 Ben Gilbert There's Internet of Things, which is Apple Watch.
- ▶ 3:40:29 Ben Gilbert But in other ways, kind of like the Apple Watch thing that they do, or the perfume, they are looking for ways to be more approachable.
