"Hello, Mr. JK, I'm Bruce, the manager of this store, and it's an honor to meet you. Bruce looked at John excitedly, this mysterious family is so low-key that it is difficult to see in ordinary times.

John looked at the fat middle-aged man in front of him and apologized slightly: "Hello Manager Bruce! I'm very sorry for causing you trouble because of my arrival." ”

"No, no, no......" Bruce quickly waved his hand. "Mr. JK, it is an honor for you to come to Patek Philippe. ”

Although the Morgan family bought very few watches from Patek Philippe, he was still Patek Philippe's most distinguished guests because the Morgan family was prominent enough.

Some people buy Patek Philippe to show their status through Patek Philippe. Sometimes, however, Patek Philippe has to shine the light of some of its guests.

Why Patek Philippe's high-end image is unmatched by many other watch brands. It is because Patek Philippe's client list has 100 kings, 54 queens, as well as Einstein, Marie Curie, Charlotte Blunt, Tchaikovsky and other prominent people.

Without advertising, this list alone is enough to make Patek Philippe shine in a way that no other brand can match.

John looked at the store manager Bruce and smiled: "Manager Bruce, let me introduce to you, this is Miss Peggy Rockefeller of the Rockefeller family, and this one is my assistant Miss Dani Miller." ”

Listening to John's introduction, Bruce was taken aback, he originally thought that the person who could follow John must be unusual, but he never expected to be such a heavyweight.

The Rockefellers are the most famous family in the United States. And John's assistant is also a powerful figure in the Morgan family, so Bruce does not dare to slack off. "Hello Miss Rockefeller!

"Hello Manager Bruce. Peggy Rockefeller and Dani nodded slightly.

Bruce looked at Peggy Rockefeller in front of him, and wondered in his heart, when the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family could play together, aren't these two competitors both commercially or politically!

And John on the side naturally didn't know what Bruce was thinking, after introducing the people around him, what he had to do next was to go into the temple to worship God, since he came to Patek Philippe, he naturally had to say hello to the host's house: "Manager Bruce, please take me to convey my greetings to Mr. Philip Stern." ”

The real bosses of Patek Philippe are not the Patek family, nor the Philippe family, but the Stearns. Philip Stern is the third generation patriarch of the Stern family and president of Patek Philippe.

Bruce bent over when he heard John's words. "I will definitely convey your greetings. ”

After the two sides finished politely and John also worshipped God, he officially entered the topic. "Manager Bruce, this time I came to Patek Philippe, I want to customize a few watches, I don't know if it's okay?"

"It is a privilege for Patek Philippe to be able to serve you. What do you want from the table?" Bruce said, holding his notebook and waiting for John's answer.

"Well......" John said after thinking about it, "I'm going to set up a crown award within the company to reward the best filmmakers in the company, so I want to customize twelve watches and give them to the winners as a trophy for the crown award." So I hope you can use the best craftsmanship, the best design, and the price is controlled at $500,000 a piece. ”

John's idea was to make twelve watches to be sent to the film company director, cinematography, editing, props, screenwriting, lighting, styling, blasting, sets, music editing, music production, and costume design.

As for using a $500,000 watch as an honorary award, the value is already very high, you must know that even if it is a world-famous Oscar statuette, its production cost is only a few hundred dollars.

But the only difference is that the Oscars are held every year, but John's crown award time is uncertain, and only those who have reached the level of industry masters in technology and have made great contributions to Crown Studios will receive such a corresponding watch as an honorary award.

And in these twelve positions, the three positions of blasting, modeling and lighting, which are a little out of the way, may not be able to get such a piece for more than ten years. It may take at least ten years for a relatively easy directing, editing, and cinematography to be able to get such a piece.

The reason why John set such harsh conditions was not to be economical, but to increase the honor value of the crown award, and the more difficult it is to obtain, the more precious it is.

After saying what he had done, John went on to say the style of the watch: "As for the style, the bezel was to be made of rose and platinum and decorated with a lotus motif. The back cover is engraved with the name of the time and honoree. The crown is made into a tiny crown. The strap comes with two pairs, one in metal and one in leather. The dial is divided into three base colors, red, blue, and black, and the theme on the dial is dominated by the logo of Studio Crown, and the position in the direction of 12 o'clock is replaced by different symbols.

The camera represents the photographer, the film represents the editor, the compass represents the prop master, the notes represent the music editor and composer, the tape measure represents the costume designer, the quill represents the screenwriter, the light bulb represents the gaffer, the detonator represents the demolitionist, the scissors and eyebrow pencil represent the stylist, the ruler represents the set designer, and the director uses the megaphone. ”

The reason why John thought of using a megaphone to represent the director is because when filming "Stealing Love", he used the loudspeaker the most, which may be called empathy!

Bruce, on the side, listened to John and recorded John's request in detail. The use of Patek Philippe as an honor to film practitioners is definitely a good thing for Patek Philippe.

After the watch matter was settled, John left Patek Philippe with Peggy Rockefeller and Dani, and he understood that the twelve watches he had customized would take at least five or six years to obtain.

It can take tens of thousands of hours to design a watch at Patek Philippe, not to mention the manufacturing of movement parts, so it can be obtained in five or six years, which is already fast.

After the watch matter was settled, the three of John left Patek Philippe, and they were naturally tired and had no intention of shopping, but chose to rush back to the manor to rest.

And Peggy Rockefeller left Los Angeles on the third day and returned to New York, and after graduating, she worked in the family's subordinate company, which is also a busy person, so naturally she has little time to stay in Los Angeles for a long time.

After a few days of relaxation, John also threw himself into work after Peggy Rockefeller left, and now is the important moment of "Stealing Love", and he must pay attention to it all the time.
