I can’t really remember the exact moment I met Carlos. But one thing I’m sure of, it was a million lifetimes ago. Probably at a press presentation during SIHH, at a launch event or maybe it was at a casual brand dinner. What I remember was being excited to meet a fellow countryman passionate about watches.
MORE THAN A WATCH JOURNALIST
Carlos is a living, breathing encyclopedia to anything related to watches. Not only is he unbeatable when it comes to technical expertise; but he has a deep knowledge of watchmaking history and the industry itself. After being an editor and contributor for the most important Portuguese watch publications; he has built an impeccable international reputation widely recognized by independent watchmakers, brands and auction houses alike.
We had many topics to choose from for this session. From the uncertain future of trade shows, retail vs wholesale, or the impact of this outbreak on the industry.
We decided to tackle one issue that is at the very core of the matter. The evolution of consumer behavior.
It was an enlightened conversation per usual, backed with an active participation from our dear followers. Thanks for that!
Thanks to Carlos for graciously agreeing to switch roles and be interviewed, delighting us with such an insightful conversation.
