Nicolas G. Hayek Center
Wrapping up a day full of conference calls and emails, I went out for dinner in Ginza, and stumbled upon the brand new Nicolas G. Hayek Center. This incredible building was commissioned by the Swatch Group, and is home for seven boutiques devoted to the Breguet, Blancpain, Glashütte Original, Jaquet-Droz, Leon Hatot, Omega and Swatch brands. Each boutique gets its own glass elevator, turning the ground floor’s open space into a futuristic launchpad for watch aficionados. Following this serendipitous encounter, I had dinner with Masubuchi San, who is certainly one of Japan’s most passionate IT practitioners. Together with Sawada San and Jacques-Alexandre, we compared notes on the state of the IT industry in our respective countries, and enjoyed delicious Italian food. Many thanks to Masubuchi San for this exceptional dinner. I look forward to meeting you again in San Francisco for the upcoming Office 2.0 Conference.
