In Conversation With Watchmaker Dr. Rebecca Struthers And Lewis Heath Of AnOrdain | Hodinkee Radio
Our guests this week are watchmaker Dr. Rebecca Struthers and Lewis Heath, founder of AnOrdain. The two are friends and collaborators, so it was fun to get them both together for a conversation about watchmaking in the U.K., what they’re up to, and what’s next.
We chat about both of their companies, the state of watchmaking and craftsmanship in the U.K., and the opportunities and challenges they face.

He got his start designing motorcycles and cars, most notably for brands like BMW and Ducati. And before starting his own namesake brand, Berneron, Sylvain spent five years at Breitling, where he eventually became Chief Product Officer. There, he helped completely revamp and bui...
Ressence Type 1 Squared | A Week On The Wrist
Переглядів 15 тис.День тому
I know what you're thinking, and I'll go ahead and say it: no one asked for this. The Ressence Type 1 Squared is seven years old at this point, so why do A Week On The Wrist? Ever since I started working with watches years ago, Ressence has been a brand that I've been intrigued by, but believe it or not I haven't really had a chance to spend any meaningful time with one. So I did what anyone el...

Reviewing 6 Of Our Own Watches With Ben And James | Hodinkee Radio
Переглядів 17 тис.21 день тому
In this week’s episode, I’m running the three-man weave with Ben and James. I gave the guys a bit of homework before we recorded. Last month, Ben mentioned in his review of the Rolex “Le Mans” Daytona that maybe we should do “A Week On (An Owner’s) Wrist” reviews every once in a while. Talking about - and reviewing - watches that we’ve recently acquired. I thought it was a pretty good idea (nic...

The Most Complicated Watch In The World, The Vacheron Constantin Berkley Grand Complication
Переглядів 18 тис.Місяць тому
About a month before Watches & Wonders, a Vacheron Constantin team member told me something big would come from the Maison just ahead of the trade show. They also told me they thought I would be uniquely suited to cover the news, which to me meant only one thing: there was a pocket watch coming from Vacheron. For all the jokes from friends and colleagues, my passion for horology started with po...

    this is why these watches maintain their value. If they were to land on the market , it would collapse. Its like DeBeers hording all the diamonds. Keeping supply artificially low therefore the prices stay high. Watch "collecting" allows watches in general have any value at all. if people didn't have so many watches just collecting dust in safes, the watch market would implode.

    Coming back to this video in 2024, those 'masterpieces' he talks about at 11:16 are actually pretty good value on the used market. They're probably not popular because the cases are small, but they're gorgeous watches. Seems like a bit of a shame how Swatch has handled Blancpain since they acquired it. It seems like the brand has had difficult times at least since this video was released, which is 10 years ago now.

    Very interesting to see. The current model has identical measurements to an AirKing from the 80s, so the 19mm lugs and the taper to 14mm are tried and tested. Even more controversial than the two tone might be the 40, which is a real giant.

    The Cartier Santos is an iconic beauty but I would not buy one. Why? Because the Santos is very scratch prone, especially on the high polished bezel. Cartier knows about this flaw and refuses to fix it, meanwhile, UA-camrs keep making excuses for the flawed and subpar metal casing. Silver colored watches, such as stainless steel and titanium, are the defacto metal of choice. There are stainless steels that prone to scratches and stainless steels that are not prone to scratches, as well as coatings too. Why, in 2024, aren't manufacturers making "scratch-proof" watches? There are PVD coatings and nomenclatures like 316L steel, super titanium, TinSkin 3.0, and platinum encasements. A company as profitable and well funded as Cartier has no excuse for making watches that are scratch prone. Invest a little R&D and fix this problem. Having the bezel on a Cartier Santos scratched by something as innocuous as the cuff of your shirt is unforgivable.It's not just a Cartier problem, but most luxury watchmakers don't put in the effort to ensure their watches are "scratch-proof" or as scratch resistant as possible. It's a shame. For this reason alone I would never buy a Cartier Santos. Profits above all. So what are the most scratch resistant metals? Tegiment steel and UltraHex titanium.

    accurate time keeping ? this astron cant even change to daylight saving time like a radio controlled watch can. I went abroad and my astron wont automatically change the time,I needed to do it manualy. when back to uk ,it took few hours to adjust to local time,but 1h behind (no daylight saving time). a radio controlled watch is perfect for travel . I dont think i will ever buy an Astron again. Seiko should add a Bluetooth function

    Thanks for presenting this update from Rebecca Struthers. I read her book shortly after it was released, and thoroughly enjoyed it. The collaboration with Lewis Heath is also interesting news. As a fan of enamel dial watches, I’ll want to check out the AnOrdain catalog. Swiss companies like Ulysse Nardin acquired dial-making businesses in the past, that allowed them to offer the beautiful enamel dials that were available on their San Marcos line of watches.

    The approachability and friendliness of AnOrdain towards their customers is an object lesson in how to build a brand. There's a wait list, but they will make you a watch if you're patient, and it will be superb.

Her book was the tipping point to dive deep into watch mechanics, design, and focused research of a couple of historic brands. Great job, Tony!
