BCG as Vacheron
1. Member of the holy trinity
2. More under the radar than Patek (McK)
3. Unlike AP (Bain), it has more than one thing it's known for 😉

PWC could be Omega ( of old) and now the Swatch group.
We sold our consulting practice to IBM (post Enron / quartz crisis) and lost our edge.
We’ve been on a mission to get back to the top and have made a bunch of acquisitions:
- PRTM (Longines)
- Diamond ( Tissot)
- Bearing point(Hamilton)
- Booz & Co (Breguet)
…..
We keep repackaging our stuff ( think limited editions / new colored dials) but do offer some decent value 😛

Hi! I'm a GedEd Middle School ELA teacher in Texas. This year I'm teaching 3 sections of coteach ELA and it's been a nightmare. I don't know if the coteach model is just a nighmare or if it's just the way my school/district has rolled it out that is making it a nightmare. Does anyone have experience with coteach? Any help is appreciated.

I’m dating someone new and it is going very well. He is kind, not high strung, with great values and shares my sense of humor. It is so easy and natural to spend multiple days with him.
Still I am having doubts because I think he isn’t very “intellectual”. To be clear, he’s intelligent! He is a great STEM role that requires an advanced degree. We share a love of reading as well. However he is not really interested in world affairs, does not follow the news closely, does not have a strong grasp

Breitling updated the Navitimer and now there is a mint dial option. How did I miss this? I think it looks great; not sure I like mint better than black but so happy they put wings back on the dial. Any other Navitimer fans out there?
