Today on the Worn & Wound podcast, we're talking all about British watchmaking, and our guests are exactly the two people you'd want to speak to about the subject. Mike France is a co-founder of Christopher Ward, a British brand that will be very familiar to most Worn & Wound readers, and Roger W. Smith is a British watchmaker based on the Isle of Man who produces about 15 handmade watches per year. Mike and Roger occupy very different segments of the British watch market, but have joined together to form the Alliance of British Watch & Clock Makers, a newly formed trade body that exists to promote British watchmaking throughout the world. On today's show, they talk about forming the Alliance, how it came about, and some of the unique characteristics of watchmaking in Britain that make it special and unique.This week's episode of the Worn & Wound podcast is brought to you by Citizen and their iconic line of Eco-Drive watches. For over 40 years, Citizen has been producing watches with Eco-Drive technology.

In this episode, joined by Michael Senderovich of the On Time Podcast, we discuss our favorite independent watchmakers! We define an independent as not only a watchmaker outside the typical fold of corporate ownership, but a watchmaker-led business not held down by its own traditions. Independent watchmakers can freely design avant garde pieces in small volume and sell them for extraordinary amounts of money. We explore Roger W. Smith, H. Moser, RGM, MB&F, Vianney Halter, Habring, and more in this episode. This episode is available as a video!
