Talking Watches With Jean Todt: The Icon Of Motorsport

Welcome to the first episode of a brand new season of Talking Watches. To kick off an incredible set of guests, we are thrilled to feature the collection of Jean Todt, a true motorsport legend, a humanitarian, and an ardent, thoughtful watch enthusiast. I don't use "legend" lightly either, as Jean has the resume to back it up. He was CEO of Ferrari from 2004-2006, and in 2009, he became the 9th President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (aka, the FIA, the governing body of motorsport, including Formula One).

Alongside these impressive motorsports accolades, Jean is also an author and active philanthropist focused on road safety and brain disorders. He won (along with his wife, Michelle Yeoh) Humanitarian of the Year in 2016 from the United Nations Association of New York (surrounding his work as the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for Road Safety, and you can read his book on the topic "Millions of Lives to Save on the Roads") He is also the Co-Founder of the Institut du Cerveau (Paris Brain Institute), a research platform focusing on both brain and spinal cord disorders, and the recipient of both the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour and the Olympic Order. As I said, a legend. We couldn't be more excited to have Jean Todt for this episode of Talking Watches.
