In this episode of the Project 7 to Q Podcast, Carlo Ople sits down with entrepreneur and Gentry Timepieces founder Hayb Anzures, better known as Pareng Hayb.
Behind the watches, the businesses, and the larger-than-life social media presence is a story of starting from humble beginnings, taking risks, trying different ventures, and eventually finding his footing in the world of luxury watches and entrepreneurship. Hayb shares how his experiences shaped the businessman he is today and how the people he partnered with along the way played a crucial role in his journey.
The conversation goes behind the scenes of building Gentry Timepieces and the realities of growing a business in a highly competitive industry. Hayb also talks about his evolution as a content creator, the lessons he’s picked up from his successes and failures, and what it takes to keep growing when you’ve already achieved more than you once imagined.
Carlo and Hayb also look ahead at what’s next—from the continued expansion of his businesses to his plans for Gentry and his growing involvement in projects outside the watch industry, including his push to elevate Philippine tennis through the Gentry Open.
Expect a candid conversation about humble beginnings, entrepreneurship, partnerships, ambition, and the mindset behind building something bigger than yourself.
