Dealing With Henki and Tempus Fugit
340 views • 3/3/2018
He's worked in the business, he calls bullshit when he sees it, and he does not care if you like him or not.
00:00 - 00:03 | I can't believe he posted that! |
00:04 - 00:05 | I mean, it's the truth, but damn! |
00:05 - 00:07 | He thinks he can fool us |
00:08 - 00:12 | He moved to Boston from California |
00:12 - 00:15 | But it's the same guy. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Maybe if we send him an invite to... |
00:19 - 00:21 | Some event we know he can't attend... |
00:24 - 00:26 | I don't think that will work. |
00:27 - 00:28 | He'll simply say he can't go. |
00:31 - 00:33 | We tried offering a free watch |
00:34 - 00:36 | But he said with the new FTC regulations... |
00:53 - 00:58 | The F'ing FTC... |
01:13 - 01:15 | But that doesn't stop some of the others! |
01:15 - 01:17 | They have their grasping hands out for everything! |
01:18 - 01:23 | It was bad enough when it was considered a gift... |
01:25 - 01:28 | But Henki said that the new rules are clear, no more freebies! |
01:29 - 01:31 | We used to be able to buy these people |
01:31 - 01:34 | "here's something shiny!" |
01:34 - 01:37 | "You're a friend of the brand"! |
01:37 - 01:40 | When did paying for a good review become wrong? |
01:40 - 01:42 | Well, before the FTC ruling it was just an ethical issue... |
01:42 - 01:46 | Ethics?!? What does that have to do with watches? |
01:46 - 01:48 | But now that it's the law, Henki won't budge! |
01:48 - 01:52 | That slippery little turd! |
01:53 - 01:54 | Fine, let him have his "ethics"! |
01:56 - 01:57 | He won't make any money that way. |
01:57 - 02:00 | Once he can't pay the rent, he'll change his tune! |
02:00 - 02:03 | He'll be back in our pocket in no time! |
02:04 - 02:08 | He'll see the others... |
02:08 - 02:13 | Hamptons trips, surfing lessons, business class travel... |
02:14 - 02:16 | This is the way the game is played! |
02:17 - 02:21 | He's only fooling himself! |
02:27 - 02:29 | I mean, we grease all of the big outlets and get coverage... |
02:30 - 02:34 | Ethics? Ethics has nothing to do with us! |
02:34 - 02:36 | Money, freebies, paid vacations... |
02:41 - 02:42 | That's how you manage the press! |
02:43 - 02:47 | He even said no to the SIHH! |
02:48 - 02:53 | Who DOES that? |
02:54 - 02:56 | We'll cancel his BaselWorld appointments! |
02:56 - 02:59 | We won't send him press releases... |
03:00 - 03:02 | We won't invite him to our cocktail parties |
03:04 - 03:07 | This happens every year, it's okay |
03:14 - 03:16 | Ethics... |
03:19 - 03:23 | Well "Mr. Henki"... |
03:25 - 03:26 | I've got your "ethics" right here! |
03:31 - 03:33 | I miss the old days... |
03:40 - 03:46 | Journalists were affordable... |
03:46 - 03:49 | And not so hard to manage. |
03:53 - 03:56 | Any other ideas? |
