We've spoken to our share of UK-based watchmakers over the years, and one name that kept popping up was Struthers Watchmaking. So it was somewhat inevitable that we would speak to them at some point. We chatted to Dr Rebecca Struthers, one half of Struthers Watchmaking, about how she ended up as a watchmaker, and more importantly, where she's taking it — specifically the gorgeous and exclusive Project 248. But it's not just watches that Rebecca crafts, she's also on the eve of publishing Hands of Time, A Watchmakers History of Time, which takes us through 40,000-odd years of timekeeping with precision and style.

Today we chat with Giles Ellis, the infectiously passionate founder of Schofield Watches. Ellis has been making his distinctively-cased watches since 2010. Ellis started making watches for the best possible reason — he was looking for a watch he wanted to wear, and nothing on the market at the time was *quite* right, so he made his own. The brand came about organically after that, and Ellis has stuck to his design principles since then. We also chat to Ellis about why UK watchmaking has the appeal and cachet that it does, and what a watch inspired by Japan looks like. Before that, Felix and Andy chat about why the latest MoonSwatch is an object lesson in hype management and why Mr Porter's list of the best watch podcasts is on the money.

Recently Andy has been raving about a well-sized, vintage-inspired chronograph that's had a firm place on his wrist for the last few weeks: The Antigua from Méraud Watches. So it only made sense to get the founder of this boutique Belgian brand — Stijn Busschaert — on for a chat. Stijn tells us how passion led him to start his own brand, and how a burgeoning new wave of online independents has supercharged the space. Of course, we also dig into the details of the Antigua, in particular the vintage Landeron 248 movements Stijn sourced, to ensure a pure spirit and slim profile. Plus, an unlikely Unimatic collab and possible big corporate moves.

It's not just the Australian weather that's heating up — things in watchland are getting buzzier than Jerry Seinfeld's Bee Movie. Andy and Felix have been partying down with Panerai, and Felix finally caught up with the charming and erudite founder of Fears Watches, Nicholas Bowman-Scargill, as well as get the low down on a new kind of dive watch. Beyond that, Louis Vuitton calls on the power of celebrity for its latest Creative Director, and Hodinkee gets sexy, but not just with Ben Clymer and Kevin Hart. Watch news; who said it wasn't exciting!

After years of low-key stalking, a royal stack of Rolex Midas models was all it took for Felix to invite Anders, AKA @everydaycollector onto the pod. Anders, hailing from sunny Norway has a stunning collection of watches, including the aforementioned Rolex. On top of that, there's vintage Cartier, Royal Oaks, Vacheron Constantin 222s and more. All these watches are incredibly hot right now, but Anders has been ahead of the curve. We talk about approaches to collecting, design watches and what it's like to be the world's first Aeropress world champion.

We're officially one-twelfth of the way through the year, and the watch releases are coming thick and fast — just like Andy's love of the new 37mm Royal Oak in yellow gold with a turquoise dial. Honestly, he hasn't been so excited about a watch since Rolex released a watch with a turquoise dial. Maybe it's just turquoise. Aside from AP, there's also the new chonky Speedy hiding impressive innovation inside. Then there are the Daniel Craig Conspiracy theories. What more do you need?

It's been a long time since UK-born, NYC-residing visual artist and all-around geezer Phil Toledano, AKA Mister Enthusiast, graced OT: — too long, honestly. We started our interview with a clear direction and purpose, to grill him about weird cars, oddball watches and the latest trends in jumpsuits, but our conversation quickly veered very left of centre. Sure, we spoke to Phil about many of these topics, as well as his upcoming watch venture, the fabled four-way collab and his love of all things Italian.

As if watches weren't niche enough. Today we dive into the vintage watch ad rabbit hole with Nick Federowicz, better known by his online persona of Ad Patina. Nick makes a living scouring the world for old copies of obscure magazines and finding the nostalgic treasures encased within. Not only do these ads offer a period-correct glimpse of our favourite watches, they shine a light on the world in which they were created, and show us just how much it has changed. Nick explains to us that while these ads show us the watches, what they really offer is a glimpse into the past.
On top of all that, Felix and Andy talk through some of their favourite new releases, including the standouts of LVMH Watch Week, and the re-launched Cartier Tank Française, but more on that next week.

Kim Frank wears many hats. She's a writer, editor and explorer. In fact, she's a fellow at the Explorers Club and was recently the recipient of the Explorers Club Rolex Award. Kim tells us exactly what this is, what it entails and what it's really like to wear a Rolex while working on stories about how Asian elephants co-exist with humans in the Eastern Himalayas. We also learn about her love of other old watches, old cars and some lessons from a life well travelled. But before that meaningful content, Andy and Felix discuss wrestlers turned actors, glass onions and the dream of the four-way watch collab.

Happy New Year, everyone! We're kicking off 2023 in fine form with none other than veteran watch and jewellery writer Victoria Gomelsky. It seems like every other week, one of us is referencing one of Victoria's excellent articles for The New York Times, Robb Report or one of the other excellent titles Victoria writes for. So we pretty much had to get her on, and we are so glad we did. From what trade publications can teach you about the business of watches and how watches and jewellery intersect. Throughout all of it, we get Victoria's take on macro trends, through to what's hot (or not) in watches, from sustainability and lab-grown stones, and what a slowing global economy might mean for the business of watches.
New year, new strap! Get an Artem here.
