Back in April, Vacheron Constantin celebrated Madison Avenue Watch Week by hosting three breakfasts for clients and friends of the brand. The first of the three was a personal look into the idea of collecting watches hosted by the great Jack Forster of Revolution Magazine along with noted collector Andrew Jacoobs. The second was a look at vintage watches with Forbes’ Richard Nalley and our own John Reardon (who happens to moonlight as a VP at Sotheby’s).
The final breakfast was slightly different. Instead of talking to someone whose life, personal or professional, revolves around timepieces, we spoke to a man whose life revolves around something else entirely, cooking. Chef Eric Ripert is the co-owner and executive chef at one of the world’s finest restaurants, Le Bernardin. He is also a friend and collector of Vacheron. Our own executive editor Ben Clymer sat down with Chef Ripert to chat about how watchmaking and cooking relate. Enjoy!
