Our Spending Time Podcast mini-series about Dubai Watch Week 2021 returns with Episode 3, which you can listen to below. The show once again features aBlogtoWatch founder Ariel Adams (@ArieltoWatch) and co-host @RickTickTalk as they introduce a series of interviews conducted on-scene in Dubai at the event in November 2021.

In this episode of Spending Time Dubai Watch Week 2021, Ariel interviews three members of the WatchBox organization, including Tim Mosso, to discuss the future of pre-owned and the international growth of the timepiece retail organization. Next, we speak to MB&F founder Max Busser, as well as MB&F head of communications Charris Yadigaroglou about maintaining market positioning and how a successful independent watch brand continues to evolve in a changing marketplace.

Then, we speak with Leonard Dreifuss, who now runs the Zurich-based watchmaker Maurice de Mauriac with his brother (and founded by their father), about personalization, customization, and how small brands make their mark in a sea of competition. Finally, we speak to the legendary watch designer Alain Silberstein about his recent design collaborations and the state of the watch world from the perspective of his more than 35 years of experience.
