Living our values

“I recently turned my hand to trying to build automatic watches from parts I found online. My first attempt was - in the nicest terms - a shambles, but the process taught me a lot about patience and avoiding short cuts because, let’s face it, nobody wants a watch where the hands fall off every time it hits midday. This small life lesson ties in perfectly with one of Apax’s own values, which is to always choose right over easy. Be it making a half-functioning watch on my kitchen table or working day-to-day at Apax, right trumps easy every time.”
