What happens when a small-town entrepreneur takes on an $8 billion global giant—and wins? In this powerful episode, Jason Duncan sits down with R.T. Custer, founder of Vortic Watch Company, to talk about what it really means to bet everything on a vision, fight Goliath in court, and still come out swinging.

He also opens up about the dark side of entrepreneurship and how he's building more than a business—he's building a legacy rooted in craftsmanship, transparency, and asking the right questions.

These days, it seems like independent watchmakers and brands are everywhere – celebrated in watch media, on display at major retailers worldwide, hotly discussed in collector circles, and of course gaining share in an otherwise entrenched industry. But it's an overnight success decades in the making. And today we have the perfect guest to guide us through the rise of the independents: Tim Jackson. Tim is a passionate advocate for independent watchmaking, with a deep-rooted appreciation for mechanical timepieces that dates back to his childhood near Liverpool, England. His journey began with a Timex at age 10 and evolved into a lifelong fascination with horology that's spanned a career in the UK and now here in California. With over 30 years in the watch world, Tim has developed a particular admiration for independent artisans who push the boundaries of traditional watchmaking. Today, he continues to champion these masters of micro-mechanical art, helping enthusiasts discover and acquire truly exceptional timepieces through his business Independent in Time.

As watch fans, we tend to attribute designs and innovations to certain brands. But when it comes to truly groundbreaking high-end complicated watch movements, there are a small number of individual elite watchmakers at the top doing most of the actual inventing. David Candaux is among that elite. If you're into luxury watches, you might have heard of watches like the MB&F HM6 Space Pirate or the Jaeger-LeCoultre Hybris Mechanica à Grande Sonnerie, even if you didn't know David Candaux was involved. Since 2017, he's been putting his efforts into his own brand, and D. Candaux watches are getting plenty of deserved attention in the over-$200,000 segment.If you like what you're listening to please let us know!

For years, we've followed the GPHG – the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève – with great excitement and interest as it's essentially the Oscars of Watches. And with this year's award ceremony taking place November 13, we figured it would be helpful to lift the veil on what goes on behind the scenes. Who are the people who nominate these watches, and what does voting look like? Does the GPHG meaningfully drive sales for brands, and what's involved in participating? We get into all of that and more, as we share our own experience as voting GPHG academy members.

If you're considering a career in watchmaking, it's essential to know whether you have what it takes. Watchmaking is a very individualized career with a specific set of skills, and while it takes years of training, it also requires some innate traits and talent.

In this episode we answer a questioner from Jordi about how we actually time things with mechanical watches. Except for a very select and expensive few watches, there aren't many options in mechanical watches for minute-level accuracy timers which actually notify you. So, what are we to do? We also talk a little about the new Apple Watches and some of the very watch industry terminology they seem to be using when talking about their Apple Watch (don't call it a smart watch!).

Dan Spitz is a true pioneer in every sense of the word. As the lead guitarist of legendary band Anthrax, Dan was one of the innovators who birthed the entire genre of thrash metal music. Anthrax is one of the “Big Four” thrash metal bands, a group that also includes Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. He sold millions of albums, played on the world's biggest stages, and saw his music influence legions of acts that would follow. In 1995, as Anthrax continued to reach new heights, something changed. Dan realized his heart was no longer in it, so he quit the band without a plan for what was next. Dan had been exposed to watchmaking at a young age through his grandfather, who owned a jewelry store where he repaired watches in New York's Catskill Mountains. That childhood experience came rushing back when he stumbled across an ad for the Bulova watchmaking school. The pieces fit together as perfectly as the mechanics of a complicated watch, and Dan enrolled, graduating a four-year program in 18 months. Then he became the first American to be accepted into a Swiss watchmaking school, and his incredible second act was official. Today, Dan is one of the world's most sought-after master watchmakers. He's the watchmaker who watchmakers go to when they can't solve a problem. In this episode, you'll hear some of the details about the birth of thrash metal, the conflict that led to Dan's departure from Anthrax, and the journey that led a thrash metal legend become a legend in the world of fine watches. You can learn more about Dan Spitz by visiting his website at www.delraybeachvintagewatches.com, and www.danspitz.com. Second Act Stories theme music: "Between 1 and 3 am" by Echoes

  This is Superlative: A Podcast about watches, the people behind them, and the worlds that inspire them. This week on the Superlative Podcast, host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is joined by Matthieu Haverlan, the Managing Director at Ulysse Nardin. Ariel starts the show by having Matthieu talk about his rising path through Ulysse Nardin from being a Chief Commercial Officer to being the Managing Director of the brand. They dive into the ownership change of Ulysse Nardin from the french luxury group Kering to its current owner, Sowind Group SA, which was awarded by Deloitte as one of Switzerland's Best Managed Companies of 2024. As they move on to talk about the brand and their watches, Ariel asks Matthieu about his preferred primary way that he wishes to see Ulysse Nardin use to sell their product, and how formative experiences in certain places, like Paris, can influence someone into becoming a watch lover. While addressing how they can appeal to younger generations of enthusiasts with a good price point, Ariel asks about their range of pricing and how that enables them to compete with entry level brands as well as higher costing luxury brands.

Watchmaking may date back two centuries but in the hands of Maximilian Büsser, it has been revived as a contemporary art form. Büsser is the founder of MB&F, or Max Büsser and Friends, which he describes as a “horological concept laboratory.” Now MB&F has opened a gallery on Two Rodeo Drive, filled with his collective's kinetic art and mechanical art devices, like World Sky by Breakfast Studio with whirring discs that spin between functions: camera, mirror, and weather report; and the MB&F's Architect HM11, inspired by an organic Charles Haertling house in Colorado, and comprising multiple “rooms.” “We deconstruct traditional, beautiful, high end watchmaking and reconstruct it into sculpture, which gives time,” Büsser tells Lyn Winter, on the latest episode of Rodeo Drive - The Podcast. Büsser shares his journey from being a directionless teen in Switzerland to reaching the top of the watch business at Jaeger-LeCoultre and Harry Winston, and then realizing he needed to “find his true north.” “I started imagining this fairy tale, I was going to have my own little company, where I would create only what I believed in. I didn't want any investors. I didn't want anybody telling me about growth and profits and all that stuff. It was all about, we're going to create some incredible watchmaking, even though we know there are no clients out there for it.”Now MB&F has built a strong clientele willing to pay top dollar for the company's unusual timepieces. But it was not always easy. Büsser reflects on the financial ups and downs, life lessons learned along the way, and the things he wished he had told his father. Finally, he revels in the joy of crafting mechanical instruments with a group of “friends” who share his obsession with “balance wheels,” “perpetual calendars” and other analog components of horology.Winter closes by asking if there is a future for such an old world craft, and Büsser talks about the appeal of his company's products to young people.“MB&F is all about, ‘Live your dreams'. Do whatever you believe in. It is possible. Look at us. It seemed totally impossible, but we managed. And so it resonates strongly with a younger client base, and I love it.”Season 5 of Rodeo Drive – The Podcast is presented by the Rodeo Drive Committee with the support of The Hayman Family, Two Rodeo Drive, Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, and the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau.Season 5 Credits:Executive Producer and Host: Lyn WinterOn behalf of the Rodeo Drive Committee: Kay Monica RoseScriptwriter and Editorial Advisor: Frances AndertonEditor and Videographer: Hans FjellestadTheme music by Brian BanksProduction Assistant: Isabelle Alfonso.Listen, subscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.Visit the website: https://rodeodrive-bh.com/podcast/Watch moments from the series on YouTubeJoin us on Instagram @rodeodrive Hosted on Acast.

Called "a poem in clockwork," the self-winding Breguet watch made for Marie Antionette was meant to be the most beautiful example of mechanical art in the world. Yet when she was imprisoned in the Tour du Temple, she wanted only a simple watch that would mark the passing of the hours until her meeting with the guillotine. Listen as Rebecca Struthers, the watchmaker, antiquarian horologist, and author of the Hands of Time talks with EconTalk's Russ Roberts about how our need to keep time has shaped watchmaking history, and how, in turn, the development of watches has shaped human culture and society. Other topics include the precise and painstaking craft of bespoke watchmaking and the challenge of restoring watches from another time.

After the 1844 Paris expo, Robert-Houdin turned his efforts to creating his own stage show. He created automata tricks that still delight today, and quickly became a very famous magician.
