e had the chance to see Adam Craniotes in action during a watch event earlier in the year at the Montblanc store in Aventura, north of Miami. The RedBar founder, widely recognisable with his New York accent, energetic outspokenness and thick beard, was presenting the new SIHH offerings from the Richemont brand to a panel of visitors. There’s no doubt that Montblanc’s neo-vintage style, initiated under the watchful eye of Davide Cerrato (read his interview here), has won over this community of watch enthusiasts.
