Thank you Kip!

Post by KLR_Redux »

My travels brought me to Nashua, NH and I was able to visit the showroom. Kip took an hour from his schedule to talk about the brand, watches, and life in general. Highly recommended as a stop should you find yourself in the Northeast US.

Thank you for your time sir.

Any pressure to purchase? Or was it truly an informational and brand consideration conversation?

I didn't ask if it was a hard sell. Expectation probably would have been a more appropriate term than pressure. Was trying to better understand if someone should wait until they are ready to pull the trigger on a purchase before they were to make an appointment. Our if can truly be a discovery and learning session.

Very low-key. Informative, relaxed, nice. We talked Swiss movements, the ETA ebauche controversy, etc.

No new toys- great stuff but I wish to remain married. :silent:

Consider it an information station- real world version of the forum.

It was definitely a neat experience- high end showrooms are not my typical operating environment. I am grateful for the gift of his time.
