·Quite interesting. I think you meant to post this in the Vintage Heuer section, rather than here in the Connected Discussions.

·You know what's funny? I've been following Jean-Jacques von Erlach (aka @heuerlach) on Instagram for quite some time. I had no idea he was the grandson of Hubert Heuer! 😲
He really should publish that book by his grandfather shown in the video. What a treasure trove of information! 📖

·I thought this was a tongue-in-cheek video of your grandson, who I really hoped your son/daughter had not named Jean-Jacques von Erlach 😜

·I watched the video last night.
It all seems very strange to me. They are pitching the video as a "tell all" . . . "breaking news" . . . "reveals all", but there is really not much new in the video, if anything at all.
My summary -- they are repeating some well-known / well-documented history, positioned as "Click Bait" with these dramatic phrases. Still some nice watches to see in Jean-Jacque's collection and good to get his perspective on the family / brand history!!
What am I missing here?

·Let's blame it on the David Harper Antiques TV channel . . . they seem to specialize in the SPECTACULAR!!
But, in my view, that approach didn't serve either Jean-Jacques or Jonathan well.

·I learnt that JJ's grandmother was the saviour for Heuer. A fact I had never heard.

·I find you harsh, a video which shows pretty vintage heuer is always interesting in my opinion.
Do you know if this famous manuscript will one day come out?
