IWC versus Rolex & Cartier: Brand Marketing
Former Marketing Director at Richemont, IWC Schaffhausen
Interview Extract
... Jens Fabian Herdieckerhoff: I think it’s absolutely key. It doesn’t mean that you can’t build a new brand out of a brilliant idea or some superb design, but especially for hard luxury goods, say, watches and jewelry. The heritage is key because people want to buy a product that has a timeless value. That’s what’s so important about it. If you buy a piece of clothing, we’re not talking about fast-fashion, even if you buy a piece of clothing that’s worth a lot of money, you know that it’s going to go out of fashion at some point. With a watch, that’s not the case. If you buy a classic such as an IWC Portuguese or a Rolex Oyster or whatever, you know that you can probably pass it on as Patek Philippe says in the advertising, you pass it onto the next generation or even more than that. That’s why having the background, seeing the brand has been around for so long, it gives you the comfort of believing that the intrinsic value stays and you’re not squandering your money, it’s quite simple. ...January 29, 2020
Challenges for Young Leaders: Moving Into a Leadership Position
Former Executive Committee Member and Head of HR, Novartis
Interview Extract
... Norman Walker: And that is very telling because that ensures you do not define yourself as whatever the job title is, which is a big, big risk. And it also keeps your feet on the ground in terms of, “This is not my job; I’m the placeholder.” I rather like the Patek Philippe advertisement, which says you never own a Patek Phillipe watch, you’re simply the guardian for the next generation. That’s how you should think about your job, particularly the most senior positions. ...September 25, 2021

Azenta Life Sciences, Biostorage, & Medical Lab Equipment
Former Director at Brooks Life Science Systems, Azenta
Partner Interview
Azenta Life SciencesInterview Extract
... BioStorage had historically procured Philips freezers. They had a pretty large contract with Philips for their negative [E 0:12:25] mechanical freezers, and we had first right of refusal to expand the space in Indianapolis. So it was an outsourced model for freezers, and it still is, to a large extent. There's a good balance between robotics that Brooks brought to the table and put in place in Indianapolis and some of their own liquid nitrogen technology. But they still do outsource a fair amount of freezers from manufacturers. ...October 27, 2021

Spirax Sarco: Thermocoax & Thermal Heating Solutions
Former Managing Director at Thermocoax
Interview Extract
... German Schild: The core technology of Thermocoax comes from Philips. It was a business unit of Philips and it was the same story in the late 80s, when Philips cleaned up their house and there was a buy-out and that was when it specialized in this heating technology. In those days, I think the majority was really for nuclear. In the French market, it was a nuclear business. They have a technology which is used from some other companies called, MI, mineral insulated cable production. That means it is an electrical cable with an outer metal sheet and they produce it for heating as well as for sensor applications. One of the core businesses was and is still nuclear business. Not only in France; they already had bits and pieces in China and some other areas as well. ...

... Primark, influenced by the traditional Philip Green mentality in the UK market, likes to make changes [to samples]. They might approve the black T-shirt but then request the sleeves to be three centimeters shorter, which necessitates a revised sample. Each fit operation takes a week to process. So, if you send me a fit comment today, and I start revising the pattern tomorrow, it will take me three days to send you a fit sample. This means that you will fit the sample on the sixth day, which is a week. Every round of fitting takes a week. - Zara Tier 1 Supplier, Turkey ...IP Research Resource
