Patek Philippe

Hello Dauster, I see our Moderator Patrick has already perfectly answered your question --- I am the Patek Philippe moderator for this platform, and I am not on Patek Philippe's payroll :-)

 

Of course, I have a good personal relationship with the Brand, and during the last three years, it's been both a pleasure and an honor to make some very important (sometimes exclusive) announcements on their behalf, to the benefit of this remarkable collector community.


In general, most major Brands are of course represented by a dedicated forum and by a moderator here on WPS (GO even has two moderators....who have my unrelenting admiration! ;-) It goes without saying that none of us would be able to properly function as moderators for such a relevant platform if we didn't enjoy a strong relationship with our respective Brands, were not regularly in touch with them, and weren't sent all the relevant materials to be shared with our fora (for mine, the live announcements of Patek's new models are obviously the most important moments of the year)... Plus, we do *lots* of other work behind the scenes that you might never get to see on here! smile

But yes, all that I do on or for WPS is done entirely for free --- I was never paid a cent by either WPS or Patek Philippe smile I believe this to be the case for all moderators who preceded me, and for those who will come after me.

It was simply the appreciation for the work done on here that I was shown by so many of our valuable members, by my fellow moderators, and by Patek Philippe itself that has kept me going for the last three years... Oftentimes, with the same passion, intellectual curiosity, enthusiasm, and....lack of sleep of day one! smile

Thanks again, and I have also tried to answer some of your questions from other recent Patek threads smile

Cheers, FabR
