Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S18 E10: Federico Ziviani, CEO of Gerald Charles
Q: What features did you carry over and what do you update to make the Maestro feel right for the way people live and dress today?
Ziviani says the company preserved the Maestro's design language, shape, Baroque inspiration, and mechanical complication while making it thinner and lighter, using materials such as titanium, and adding shock resistance and 100-meter water resistance.
S18 E10: Federico Ziviani, CEO of Gerald Charles
Q: What did Gerald Genta believe he was creating with Gerald Charles, and why was it important that it exists as its own house?
Ziviani says Genta wanted to make watches under his own name as a personal creative pursuit after selling his first brand. Gerald Charles gave him freedom to create bespoke pieces without commercial constraints, and his family views its role as stewarding that legacy.
S18 E09: Omer Acar, CEO of Raffles and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
Q: You joined to lead Raffles and Orient Express in 2023, then were tasked with Raffles and Fairmont in 2024. What motivated pairing the two brands, and how has that shifted your mandate?
The pairing aimed to give each brand its own identity under one umbrella, sustaining strong P&Ls while growing purposefully across the globe; the focus remains restoring legacy and reshaping the future for both brands.
S18 E09: Omer Acar, CEO of Raffles and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts
Q: Do you manage the economics of Raffles and Fairmont differently in terms of pipeline, room counts, and market entry?
Yes, the two brands are grown intentionally with discipline in different markets and scales, maintaining distinct identities while leveraging shared corporate governance to optimize value for owners, guests, and the brand.
S18 E08: Robert Dundon, CEO of Stetson
Q: Why Texas as the initial launch market for Stetson Bourbon?
Texas was chosen due to its large bourbon market, existing loyal brand base, and a controlled, market-by-market approach to learn and scale before broader expansion.
