A New Take on an Old World
Can a modern consumer product, no matter how traditional its roots, be truly sustainable?
In an era where newer is always better, how can luxury reassociate itself with longevity?
In Tick Talk #9, we will explore disruptive and insightful views on sustainability in the world of fine watchmaking.
