Of course, the blackout was unexpected, even amongst the closest friends of the show.

Most tellingly, their flagship YouTube channel is still online.Īs a background to those that have never seen the show, it’s weekly “A Day in the Life Of” YouTube show about being a secondary watch dealer and it’s not scripted per se, but as someone that’s watched all episodes - because it offers an interesting and educational behind-the-scenes look at the secondary watch market - there’s clearly a storyline. Also important to note, the website being set to “Private Site” does not mean it was deleted, and social media accounts can typically be set to private or paused without actually deleting them. In fact, the lawyer went on record to say that all investors who have put in money to be part of their VIP watch network have been able to reach the team during this media blackout. Running off with investors’ money is definitely illegal, but as the lawyer representing The Timepiece Gentleman rightly stated ( i n this video from today), there’s no evidence that Anthony Farrer or his business partner Marco Nicolini ran away with anyone’s money. Going dark on social media is not something an active company typically does - although Bottega Veneta famously deleted all of its social media accounts earlier this year. The Timepiece Gentleman is a Dallas-based secondary watch dealer that has become rather famous over the past few years, leading up to this week when all its social media channels went dark.
