In partnership with UBS, we hosted a get-together and series of talks in New York City called "House of Craft." The event featured a who's who of watch-world luminaries, including industry legend Jean-Claude Biver, actor Keegan Allen, chef Alton Brown, AP CEO of the Americas Ginny Wright, actor Daniel Dae Kim, journalist Jay Fielden, independent watchmaker Simon Brette, actor and comedian Ronny Chieng, dealer and collector Alessandro Fanciulli, auction specialist Geoff Hess, and menswear designer Todd Snyder.

For this installment, Geoff Hess joins Rich Fordon to talk about his career in watches, his decades of experience as a watch collector (see @manhattanrollie), and his recent move to become Global Head of Watches for Sotheby's. Rich is also no stranger to the watch auction world, and the two have a fascinating chat that offers several behind-the-scenes looks at the world behind some of the biggest lots in recent history. Geoff is a true industry insider and auction expert, and it was nothing short of a treat to have him come and speak at the UBS House of Craft – we hope you love it.
