RedBar Global Meetup Day 2 Part 1: featuring Baume et Mercier; panel discussions; Analog Shift
Breakfast with Baume et Mercier, industry panels and whiskey with Analog Shift.
Attendees arrived bright and early at the General Society Library for breakfast sponsored by Baume et Mercier, with a special look at their current collection, including the Clifton Baumatic with its beautiful gradient blue dial.
After breakfast, we had two panel discussions:
The Collectors Panel: A Deep Dive into the Meaning, Methods, and Motivations Behind Watch Collecting with David Sharp, RedBar London; Kathleen McGivney, RedBar NYC; Gary Getz, Quill & Pad; and Vasu Kulkarni, RedBar NYC. Moderated by Blake Buettner, StockX. Watch on YouTube here.
The State of The Watch Industry: an Insider Look at the Present and an In-depth Conversation on What’s to Come with VJ Geronimo, Oris; Fred Martel, Baume et Mercier; Hyla Bauer, Luxury Watch Expert; and Blake Malin, Worn & Wound. Moderated by Adam Craniotes, RedBar & Revolution. Watch on YouTube here.
In the afternoon, attendees were treated to whiskey tastings courtesy of Glenfiddich, hosted by Analog Shift, while they got hands-on with Analog Shift’s vintage watch collections.
We’ll cover the rest of Saturday in our next two installments.
