Jean-Claude Biver: A Retrospective. Share, Respect, Forgive
This is NOT a video we taped and produced, this is a video done by the auction house Phillips founded in London in 1796. I am extremely proud to be able to share this VERY, VERY emotional video with you here on our RU-vid channel.
Thank you Phillips! Thank you Arthur! Thank you Aurel!
Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo is honored and delighted to present Jean-Claude Biver: A Retrospective. Share, Respect, Forgive, a traveling exhibition of the industry titan’s private collection.
Click on the link to get to the article written by Arthur Touchot:
www.phillips.c...
Headquartered in New York and London, with offices throughout the world, Phillips conducts sales in a select number of categories: Contemporary Art, Photographs, Editions, Design, Watches and Jewelry. Additionally, the core art business includes special exhibitions, private sales, advising private estates and corporate clients, museum and arts sponsorships, and consulting.
In recent years, Phillips in Association with Bacs & Russo was primarily known for sourcing the world’s rarest vintage watches. Their team of experts are committed to sharing their passion with the widest possible audience. In its continuing search for exclusive horological moments to enjoy with this audience, Phillips had the great pleasure to cross the path of Jean-Claude Biver, better known as a cornerstone of the modern Swiss Watch Industry, who helped build, influence and cement the destiny of watch brands such as Blancpain, Omega, Hublot and more recently TAG Heuer and Zenith.
He now serves as Non-Executive President of LVMH’s Group Watch Division. Visionary, taste-maker, leader, legend and charismatic are just some of the recurrent adjectives that come to mind when describing Mr. Jean-Claude Biver, a man whose brains are behind the meteoric rise of some of the most iconic luxury watch brands in the industry.
Phillips is absolutely honored to present “Jean-Claude Biver: A Retrospective. Share, Respect, Forgive” a very special exhibition through the eyes of an industry luminary. This non-selling exhibition exclusively consists of Mr Biver’s private collection of watches and will be held in Geneva during Phillips’ watch auction weekend, from November 7 to 10, 2019 at Hotel La Réserve. This exhibition will then tour across three continents over the coming months in Hong Kong, New York and London. Models presented include exceptional pieces of horology made by some of the world’s most important watchmakers notably Patek Philippe, Rolex and independents like Philippe Dufour and Rexhep Rexhepi, or by brands Mr Biver represented notably Blancpain, Omega, Hublot, Tag Heuer or Zenith.
Exhibitions Details: 7-9 November at the Hôtel La Réserve in Geneva, Switzerland
Viewing Open:
Thursday 7: 10am-9pm
Friday 8: 10am-6pm
Saturday 9: 10am-5pm
Sunday 10: 10am-4pm
The exhibition will go on an international tour, with stops scheduled in Hong Kong and New York during our upcoming end-of-year sales, before heading to London during the first months of 2020.

Biver is open minded and pretty relaxed... Since he started from scratch and he had seen what happened with the Swiss watch industry after the quartz crises he appreciates what talented watchmakers and engineers were/are able to do. That differentiates him from lateral entrants coming from elite universities. The letter if not opening their mind do in fact endanger the industry...

WatchAdvisor and Mr Biver always speaks about them with great reverence. I don’t think people really understand how much Mr Biver supports innovative up and coming independent watchmakers, just like AP who do the same, it’s the likes of these people and Gruebel and Mr Dufour who are keeping traditional watchmaking alive and that does have a trickle down effect. Just look how Mr Biver has transformed Zenith which has been in the doldrums for decades, now producing exciting and highly innovative watches as well as keeping the hey day past in mind. TAG is the same since he took over. They were really getting tired but he has injected life and higher quality into the brand. The mans achievements in Horology are incredible

Mr Biver said that he collects watches because he is passionate about watches and is open to the other brands and not just the brands he manages, so why am i not seeing a Grand Seiko in his collection? I'm guessing he probably can't relate to a brand like Grand Seiko because it is situated in the Far East, so the emotional connection to Seiko's history and heritage is not there.
@WatchAdvisor

People like stainless steel watches these days a lot. Sure enough, it is seen in the market when you go to any dealer anywhere. But it is always pieces like the Patek Philippe dual-Sided Cloisonné Enamel pocket watch with the boat and the Patek building scene which makes me admire these watchmakers so much more. I feel there is a superior level of craftsmanship involved in pieces like those. I don't know how many people like the rare handcraft models made by various watchmakers, but if I were a collector, I'd chase them more than the popular stainless steel watches.

As a child I played with markers and pencils because my parents were too poor to afford actual action figures. “As a kid I remember going into my fathers office and playing with his watch box of Rolex’s and expensive watches”. 🤯 God bless JCB. Truly an amazing man.

Between him and his son I can see a Biver watch brand appearing sooner rather than later and knowing from past interviews he is scaling back a bit due to his recent health issues that would be a wonderful cap to a fascinating career I think and hands the Baton to the next generation beautifully
