RECOMMENDED LISTENING: H. Moser’s Edouard Meylan on running a watch brand like a startup 

Felix Scholz

Two figures who I respect tremendously in their respective fields are H. Moser & Cie. CEO Edouard Meylan and Blamo! host (and man who can rock a soft yellow hat like nobody else) Jeremy Kirkland. So when the two got together on the latest edition of the podcast, I knew it was going to pop. 

Even though Edouard Meylan comes from a family with deep roots in watchmaking, his take on running the boutique brand (slash plucky upstart) is far less traditional than you’d expect. Kirkland asks the right questions about taking risks, failure, the American approach to business, and fostering a culture that allows your team to come up with crazier ideas than you. 

This pod isn’t about the watches of Moser, but it perfectly encapsulates the brand. Listen here (or wherever you get your podcasts).
