Taiwan4 years ago - Well researched and informed content
Definitely a different and more thorough approach to content than so many of those opinion based editorial or advertising interviews found elsewhere. I really enjoyed most of the episodes so far. Stephen, if I can make some small suggestion it would be to please please please rehearse the French pronunciation of various terminology and names (ex: “Montbrillant”).

Stephen & Serge's decision to bring historic moments in watchmaking to a narrated form is truly a gift. The two are not only genuinely passionate about the subjects they tackle, but they're able to craft the stories in a succinct manner all the while incorporating cultural, technical, and contextual details that watch nerds obsess over. Very happy with the episodes thus far and their written counterparts. Can't wait to learn more
