My Interview with Don Cochrane from Vertex 

As others have already said, Don Cochrane is a real gentleman. I can testify that he interacts personally with customers in a very kind and friendly way. The project to revive his family company is evidently something he is very passionate about, and something which is currently operating at a fairly exclusive 'bijou' scale. It's nice, in a way, that this is all happening under the radar among either service personnel or connoisseur-collectors of vintage military watches. But I also think he deserves to succeed at a much bigger level. His company has the golden advantage of genuine historical pedigree, and (so far at least) he has shown an unerring instinct for designs which preserve the historical DNA while also being new and contemporary. I can see massive potential here. If he got some heavy hitting investors on board this could literally end up going head-to-head with names like Omega, IWC, etc.

And Don does reply personally to you.... a gentleman to correspond with. Got into the brand thanks to you Rich and picked up a 45

Great work Rich. I love Vertex. You certainly did a lot of research. Bravo. 👏

Interesting interview it gives a new optic to appreciate this resurrected brand!.

Rich, enjoyed the interview. Cool tshirt

I like the M series, it's a classic field watch, though Don is playing it safe with 40mm, that's the market, aye! Great interview and sweet shirt, you got there...looks like Tudor😜👍

Great content keep up the good work more grand Seiko content please... 😉

What is a Dirty Dozen watch in formal terms? For example, IWC's was the Mark 10. So were all of them Mark 10?

Hello Rich, hope you are well. I enjoyed the virtual watch show and will view the segments I missed over the next couple of weeks. ⌚️
