This year’s Windup Watch Fair in New York featured a selection of panel discussions featuring a range of brands exhibiting at the show. We talked about the resurgence of British watch brands, finding niche audiences, and shepherding heritage, among other fun topics. If you were unable to make the show this year, but are still interested in hearing those discussions, we’ve got you covered. Audio from the panels will soon be available on our podcast channel, and below you can find a roundup of each panel in video form. Here’s what you can expect to see in each:
The New British Invasion Presented by Christopher Ward
This year’s fair saw the largest collection of British watch brands ever assembled in the US. In this discussion, moderated by Blake Buettner, we explore what it means to be a British watch brand, how they utilize one another’s strengths, and how they’ve formalized a working relationship with one another for the benefit of brands young and old alike. Participants include: Mike France of Christopher Ward; Nicholas Bowman-Scargill, 4th Managing Director of Fears; Jonny Garrett of William Wood; and Richard Benc, founder of Studio Underd0g.
