Terrific interview. I was not aware of Rebecca and her husband and their incredible watch work until this production. Thank you Richard for sharing.

One correction from the interviewer, Rolex used display case backs in their Cellini Prince watches [four models in gold, ref. 5440/41/42 & 43] in 2005 through 2015. These Art Deco watches used a beautiful COSC certified manual wind, and decorated movement, caliber 7040. This shaped mechanism is fitted with innovations such as a Breguet overcoil, Microstella nuts in gold, and Paraflex shock absorbers. These features make the Caliber 7040 amagnetic and both shock and temperature resistant.

A great subject and interview. Have always wanted to delve more into what some of the interesting artist watchmakers are doing, what they think about, and the future of the craft. Great insight and immense appreciation for this story. Much thanks and bravo to Ms. Struthers!

What a treat to hear an interview of Rebecca Struthers! Thank you for getting her on the show! 🙏 Wonderful interview, and a follow-up down the road would be fantastic! 👏👏👏👏👏

@edgeyt1 Год назад

Just ordered her book, arriving tomorrow - can't wait.

@righton1 Год назад

That was a lovely interview. Can’t wait to get ahold of that book here in Canada when I can.

@michaelgallon9431 Год назад

This was fantastic, and Rebecca is just a breath of fresh air, I wish my wife was even interested in watches never mind passionate about them. Cant wait to read her book. Book ordered.

@anthonystevens8683 Год назад

What a superb discussion Richard and Rebecca. Wonderfully open and informative and I take my hat off to you both. It's great to hear about the watchmakers café. I now have a new book to purchase as well that I'm sure will irritate people I know when I start to talk about it. Yes this has happened before. Many thanks for sharing, much appreciated. EDIT: Book has just been purchased.

@NaNByZero Год назад

Ordered her book immediately. Looking forward to holding it in hands next week. 🕐🍸🍸

@tubezaspiak Год назад

The best RU-vid post for watch lovers ever! Thank you. Dr. Struthers is simply remarkable.

@JasonCohenphoto Год назад

What a great interview!

@jameshoward9700 Год назад

Excellent interview. I wish Dr Struthers and her husband all the best in their endeavours. A British Habring2 (albeit at a higher level) - it would be great if British watchmaking could return to at least a semblance of its illustrious past. Off to buy a book now..!

@VicharB Год назад

Great subject and awesome interview and information, she is truly cool. :)

@choond Год назад

Great interesting interview.

@edwardblack7133 Год назад

Fantastic to listen and be inspired. I am an expat Englishman abroad and it’s a source of pride to wear my UK connected watches. Shout out James Lamb a case maker and watch maker. I hope I can save up and one day commission a Struthers watch ❤

@canadianwatchmonkey3992 Год назад

I would have asked her take on Silcon hairsprings

@edgeyt1 Год назад

Great stuff.

@DoubleD42 Год назад

The very first 20secs of this is pure gold 👌 Everything i buy gets held to that standard, class.

@DoubleD42 Год назад

I wish I could go into watchmaking. I started learning a year ago as a hobby, absolutely love it. My friend is a jeweler, who has a drawer full of broken watches, that I attempt to repair 😂 Ive repaired two though, which I wear now.

@canadianwatchmonkey3992 Год назад

❤What a wonderful interview. Dr. Rebecca Struthers seems like a wonderful person with infinite knowledge about the inner workings of watches. With regards to movements being displayed or not my answer is that if the movement is worthy of display it should be displayed, when I see a basic completely un decorated movement on display it detracts from the watch. ❤

Excellent!

@antonioraffa123 Год назад

My 1994 Omega Speedmaster (25 years Apollo 11) ran as a daily beater from July 1994 to June 2016, that was almost 22 years before it needed a service !!! #MoonwatchUniverse

@cedarcanoe Год назад

I wonder how Rebecca looks at the other couple in watchmaking (Maria and Richard Habring). They also produce their own movements.

@bullnose01 Год назад

Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏

G. Daniels, R. Smith, R. Struthers, Can it get any better?

@67NewEngland Год назад

- I never heard him answer which Seiko… 🤷🏼‍♂️

@kojiattwood Год назад

Rolex had a display caseback (and a nicely finished one) with the Cellini Prince; sadly no one has ever been interested in it.

@danigomb Месяц назад

how? well, regularly change batteries

@jhatgotagat300 Год назад

Okay let’s think about this. First you find a amazing watch maker willing to make you the 1/1 watch you’ve wanted 2. She’s no hack the husband wife duo are killer watch makers 3, they fucking ask you if we could name a line of watches after you and oh ya it’s the watch you ordered we are going to be making. I think I’d break down crying then promptly offer them all the money I had for this privilege.

@jamalkherry5296 Год назад

I can't agree with servicing a modern watch. Vintage high horology pieces I understand semi regular services as keeping all original movement components is valuable at least in ones own mind if not monitarily. However it's part of the cost of the service to repair any worn down parts. I encourage people to wear a mechanical watch till it stops running or keeping good time then see your watchmaker. It's not like a vintage car. If you vintage car breaks down you're stuck somewhere. If your watch breaks down you still have your phone in your pocket and clocks everywhere. Unless you have a professional requirement for the watch. You're not saving money in the long run you're burning it.

@bikeman123 Год назад

Servicing? The biggest risk to your watch is when it is dismantled into a 100 pieces. A watch will let you know when it needs servicing by keeping poor time.
