You additionally may know him from his days at Timezone or Antiquorum or Bonhams, or possibly from his spot on the jury of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneva. He’s been deeply entrenched within the watch neighborhood for many years and he’s somebody that I’ve lengthy recognized and admired. Whether or not we’re speaking about watches, tailoring, French poetry, or some new restaurant, I do know I’m going to come back out of the dialog higher for having had it.
Then we’ve obtained our personal editor-in-chief, Jack Forster. He’s proper up there with William when it comes to legend standing, and after we determined to have William on the present it was a no brainer that Jack co-host. Between the 2 of those guys we’ve obtained about as a lot horological data and perception as anybody may ask for, and as you’ll see on this episode, I simply need to get as a lot of it out of them as doable.
