Discussion
We start by introducing each guest and hearing about their backgrounds:

We get into how the collaboration came together, with Jackie sharing why partnering with Selten for the group’s 2nd anniversary felt natural.
We then explore the standout features of the Jui 聚:
The Tahitian Black Mother of Pearl dial with intricate CNC guilloché pattern – inspiration and design process
Skeletonised sword hands and subtle design elements like the chapter ring
Exhibition caseback with custom rotor featuring a Celtic tree knot and Cantonese text – symbolising community

Jackie talks about what’s next for Watch Ho & Co – from more GTGs to educational sessions and a third-anniversary model already in the works.
