Omega CEO interviewed on CNN
This was a fun interview! Recorded on the day before USA's Thanksgiving, the Omega CEO (Raynald Aeschlimann) did a really nice job bringing forth the joy of wearing a nice wristwatch. A few highlights:

- He responded graciously, when the interviewer turned out to be kind of a doofus.

- He emphasized how the purpose of a nice watch is simply to bring pleasure and joy to the wearer.....ain't that the truth! 😊.

- He encouraged people to go ahead and wear their watches, versus keeping them stored away safe & sound.

- And he expressed, lightheartedly, that Omega "is not arrogant."

"With an Omega, you will have many more smiles than dangers." 😁😁😁

Enjoy! And cheers.

saw it on Youtube. It was a fun interview. Came across much better than Peter from Family Guy who is currently running Patek.

If he thinks that Omega is not arrogant then he needs to have a serious talk with the swatch parts department inn the USA.
