At Tag Heuer -
Although Miss Tweed had floated this news the middle of last week, I am a bit of a traditionalist and also think when you are unceremoniously dumped by the love of your life, you should be afforded some measure of dignity. So I have been waiting for an official announcement which has now been made. Former Tag Heuer Antoine Pin has, in the words of the caring, compassionate folks in the LVMH PR Department:
“decided to start a new chapter in his career”.
I have to be honest, that level of sentimentality gets me all choked up...
How do you sum up the career of someone who, let's be honest, gave A LOT to Tag Heuer and what was to become the LVMH watch division over several decades? Ideally something more eloquent than what was offered by the wordsmiths in LVMH's gas factory.
But as Watch Town has taught yours truly not so long ago - you can give and give and give, but nothing trumps family. Now in truth, unless Arnault - The Even Younger, or Arnault - The Gleam In The Milkman's Eye is kitted-up and stretching on the touch line, LVMH Watch Week is going to have the not-so-discreet waft of a damp fart with the absence of a CEO of the most important jewel in the crown.
We shall wait, and we shall see, but we wish Mr. Pin good luck and Godspeed.
