Andy has referred to today’s guest as the ‘Felix Scholz of the UK’, but to everyone else, he’s known as Tim Barber and is, just quietly, a far more professional watch journalist than Felix will ever be. We chat to Tim about how his descent into the world of watches, as well as his take on Davide Cerrato’s new job as Bremont CEO, anOrdain’s latest, MoonSwatch and the future of the Swatch Group. Before that, it’s a mixed bag of possibly sociopathic hit men, missing princesses and Tudor watches.

This episode is sponsored by IWC; you can listen to the episode to get our take on the new Ingenieur, or find out more about it here.
