Discover the Powerful Bond Between Watch Brands, Their Artisans, and the Autonomy that Feeds their Passion

This week, Ariel Adams, the founder of aBlogtoWatch, invites Ahmad Shahriar to the Superlative Podcast. Shahriar, an old hand in the watch industry, confides his insights garnered from his successful trajectory with several prestigious brands such as Arnold & Son, Ulysse Nardin, Blancpain, and Breguet along with the reputed Angelus, and Favre Leuba in North America.

At the core of his discussion, Shahriar underscores the critical significance of a passionate and accessible team steering a watch brand. He reflects upon the profound impact of interpersonal relationships on the behaviour and preferences of collectors, and more importantly, why independent brands are resonating with enthusiasts. His current role, as he discloses, has enabled him to reconnect with a more personalised, hands-on approach to managing a watch enterprise.

Pairing this with an insight into evolving collector expectations, Shahriar reiterates the importance of acknowledging and celebrating not just the product but the individuals behind them. He underscores the industry’s undervalued asset - strong, meaningful relationships.
