SummaryScottish Watches Podcast #780 : TAG, Formula 1 and Duckworth Prestex’s Most Creative Watch Yet – The Marcato
1w ago00:51:28Summary readyOne of our favorite industry veterans, Neil Duckworth, was too busy to come on the show last year, and in this episode, we’ll discover why.

The conversation also explores the growth of enthusiast-led watch shows across the UK, Europe, and America, the opening of Prestex’s first dedicated showroom in Buckinghamshire, and Neil’s continuing role as UK distributor for the revived Favre Leuba brand.

The challenges of independently organizing large-scale watch events while balancing full-time careers and personal responsibilities highlight the passion required to sustain projects within the enthusiast watch community. The episode also emphasizes the creativity and craftsmanship of independent brands such as Pinion, Christopher Ward, Maurice Lacroix, and Out of Order, while examining how modern microbrands draw inspiration from automotive design, engineering, aviation, and British manufacturing heritage to create distinctive timepieces.

SummaryScottish Watches Podcast #775 : We Talk To Christopher Ward’s CEO About The New Sealander Watches
4w ago01:04:33Summary readyChristopher Ward unveils the next evolution of their most popular collection: the Sealander. Rather than a simple refresh, this update represents the culmination of years of incremental technical refinement. Five years on from the original launch, the Sealander line has been re-engineered: a redesigned Light-catcher case with improved proportions, newly faceted and polished indexes for enhanced light play, a cleaner dial layout with the Sealander name now proudly displayed, and a more assertive bezel. Click here to read along and see the photos in our show notes as you listen – http://www.scottishwatches.co.uk/2026/04/30/scottish-watches-podcast-775-we-talk-to-christopher-wards-ceo-about-the-new-sealander-watches/ Under the hood, the collection benefits from meaningful mechanical upgrades, including the introduction of the latest Sellita movement with an extended power reserve in the automatic models, alongside continued refinement of the GMT functionality. Just as significant is the development of the new “I-Link” bracelet system. An in-house engineered, tool-free sizing mechanism that reflects Christopher Ward’s growing focus on user-centric design and manufacturing innovation. CEO Mike France is here to update us on all these developments and the backstory surrounding them.

SummaryScottish Watches Podcast #774 : The Independent View With Pietro
Apr 2700:54:56Summary readyThis episode of the Scottish Watches Podcast recaps the whirlwind of Watches and Wonders through the eyes of Pietro from The Limited Edition. Beyond the main Palexpo event, the discussion highlights the growing ecosystem of independent showcases like Time to Watches, the AHCI showcase, Chronopolis, and private hotel suites. Pietro gives us his top standout pieces! Specific highlights include the technically groundbreaking minute repeater resonance from Armin Strom, as well as standout creativity from Singer Reimagined, alongside emerging or niche names like Samuel Gillioz, Cavasino, Breva, Stephane Pierre, and other brilliant independent watchmaking artists. We don’t neglect the contributions of the big guys, such as the new Cartier Crash and the smaller Bvlgari Octo Finissimo.
