This episode features a delightful chat with Dr. Rebecca Struthers, the award-winning British watchmaker, one half of Struthers Watchmakers, and the author of the book “Hands of Time: A Watchmaker’s History”. Dr. Struthers is the only U.K based watchmaker to hold a PhD in horology and the book looks into the history of timekeeping and the engineering that made it possible. It’s a fascinating read and we highly recommend you get a copy. Jason and James spoke to Dr. Struthers about her start in watches, what makes for a great watch movement, what it was like to design a movement from scratch, and much more.
Got the book from the public library and loved it. Because it was such a momentous read, I bought my own copy afterwards. That copy remains unread and unworn.
Amazing interview, thanks The Gray Nato! I resonated with something she said “I like things that can be repaired”… I immediately thought of my custom steel road bike, which I’ve actually already repaired, a little bit painfully because it had to go to Italy and come back to México, but I prefer that than changing a complete carbon bike.
