The Grey NATO – 204 – Oris North America CEO VJ Geronimo From Windup Chicago

This week – for the last episode before TGN’s two-week summer break – we have the final installment of our Windup Chicago chats and we saved a great guest for last: Oris North America’s CEO, VJ Geronimo. He’s been helping to shape Oris’ strategy for more than a decade and we chat with VJ about how the watch industry has changed, the value of shows (both big and small), Oris’ many special projects, and the brand’s continued focus on sustainability.

It was a blast to have VJ on the show and to dig a bit deeper into the Oris backstory and their plans for the future. Before that, Jason and James touch base on the TGN shop, Jason’s latest arrival, and then the show ends on a varied Final Notes that will have you back in the caves and considering how to improve your home desk setup.
