TALK by Time to Watches

About TALK by Time to Watches

TALK by Time to Watches is where the watch industry takes a moment to slow down and speak openly. Recorded at the heart of the exhibition, each episode brings together founders, independents, executives, creators, and experts for conversations that go beyond the surface — human, honest and genuinely insightful. We talk business, but with depth: the decisions that matter, the doubts behind the strategies, the challenges brands face, the risks they take, the lessons learned, and the vision they’re building for tomorrow. Just real people sharing real experiences — the kind you rarely hear on stage or in press releases. If you want to understand not only how the industry moves, but why it moves — and the people who make it happen — this is the place to listen. Hosted on Ausha.

   Fashion & Watchmaking – Do we still wear a watch to tell the time… or to express who we are? [EN]

   🎙 Fashion & Watchmaking – Do we still wear a watch to tell the time… or to express who we are? [EN] Recorded at Time to Watches 2026 in Geneva, Manon Kolodziejczyk welcomes Nicolas Ducoudert (Beaubleu), Maxime Couturier (HEIST-OUT), Elizabeth Fischer (HEAD Geneva), and Jeff Gaudinet (Atelier Indépendant & HEAD Geneva) for a conversation exploring the intersection of watchmaking, fashion, design, and contemporary culture. Throughout the discussion, one idea clearly emerges: the watch has moved far beyond its original function. Today, it operates as an emotional, cultural, and identity-driven object, reflecting personal narratives as much as aesthetic choices. The guests examine how watches have become part of a broader visual language, integrated into outfits and creative expression. They discuss their role as cultural markers and the growing importance of storytelling, both from brands and wearers, as watches accumulate memories and personal history. At the crossroads of design and fashion, the speakers reflect on the balance between concept and function, trend and timelessness, individuality and universality. Ultimately, in a world where time is accessible everywhere, the watch is no longer a necessity: it becomes an experience, a statement, and a medium for self-expression.

   Héritage & Innovation : Comment la tradition et l’innovation se nourrissent-elles mutuellement dans l’horlogerie ? [FR]

   🎙 Héritage & Innovation : Comment la tradition et l’innovation se nourrissent-elles mutuellement dans l’horlogerie ? [FR] Invités: Lukas Gisler (SHG), Serge Maillard (Europa Star), Martine Depresle (The Watch Library) Animé par : Manon Kolodziejczyk Enregistré à : Time to Watches 2026 – Genève Partenaire principal : STISS (www.stiss.ch (http://www.stiss.ch)) Cet épisode, produit par Time to Watches et vous ait présenté par STISS (www.stiss.ch (http://www.stiss.ch)). Enregistré à Genève lors de Time to Watches 2026, Manon Kolodziejczyk y reçoit Lukas Gisler, Serge Maillard et Martine Depresle pour une discussion consacrée au dialogue entre héritage et innovation dans l’horlogerie. Au cœur de cet échange, une question essentielle : comment une industrie fondée sur la mémoire, la transmission et le geste peut-elle se réinventer sans perdre son identité ? Loin d’être figé, le passé horloger apparaît comme un socle vivant, constamment réinterprété et remis en perspective. Les invités croisent leurs expériences pour explorer la place de cet héritage : moteur créatif, outil stratégique, parfois contrainte, mais toujours langage commun. La discussion aborde également la transmission des savoir-faire, le rôle des archives et la manière dont les nouvelles générations se réapproprient cette histoire. Car dans l’horlogerie, l’innovation ne naît pas nécessairement en rupture avec le passé, mais dans sa réinterprétation constante. Une conversation sur cet équilibre subtil entre mémoire et création, tradition et rupture, transmission et invention.
