Reading Time: 7 minutes Key takeaways • SpaceOne and Baltic Watches collaborated to create the Seconde Majeure, a timepiece combining vintage-inspired design with a futuristic jumping-hour complication. • The watch features a unique kinematic display using sapphire discs and a specialized module developed by Théo Auffret, housed in an entirely new 38.5mm stainless steel case. • Pre-orders are limited to a six-day window from May 12 to May 17, 2026, with prices starting at 2,500€ excluding taxes and shipping scheduled for November 2026. A PARISIAN INCIDENT  People are tied together, not brands. There seems to be no reason for entities like Baltic and SpaceOne to collaborate. Two philosophies are at odds.

Reading Time: 8 minutes Key Takeaways: • Curiosity helps sales teams build trust by redirecting technical questions toward the emotional reasons behind a purchase, such as a proposal plan. • Deep inventory knowledge, including the stories behind specific lines, allows sales staff to match products to guest needs more effectively and confidently. • Embracing curiosity regarding new technologies and business practices helps teams distinguish between valuable innovations and temporary fads without judgment.

It can even be a superpower for sales teams if they know how to use it effectively. In jewelry sales, it’s often guests who ask most of t...
