Scottish Watches Podcast #726 : Escape From New York … Watch Week
Description
Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 726! Barbara’s back from New York and she’s got plenty to say. Fresh off the 10th anniversaries of both WatchTime and WindUp, she joins us to give a proper boots-on-the-ground look at what went down across America’s biggest week in watches.
From the grandeur of Gotham Hall, where brands like Czapek, Moser, MB&F, GF, and Chopard showed off their latest creations to the packed energy of WindUp, where over 140 micro and independent brands had crowds queuing around the block.
Barbara brings all the behind-the-scenes stories and first impressions you won’t find in a press release. We get into how the U.S. watch scene has exploded, the growing diversity of collectors, creators, and newcomers. She also reflects on her upcoming role as a GPHG jury member (tonight on launch day of this show) offering a glimpse into the preparation and anticipation leading up to Geneva’s most prestigious awards.
