Sit back and listen to Giles Ellis, creator of the Schofield Watch Company as he waxes lyrical about his watches, why he makes them, and how he created his very unique watch brand. A refreshing insight into when passion trumps financial reward and why it is so important for him to maintain control of every detailed aspect of what he designs and manufactures.  

Find out why optimum design language and uniqueness are key to what Schofield  Watch Company makes and why the generic and ubiquitous just isn't what Giles envisions for his company. Also, find out how thirty separate suppliers were used to make one particular creation of his and how painstakingly challenging each aspect was to design, plan, and coordinate.

So buckle up and enjoy the ride, we can guarantee you're going to be fascinated with what Giles has to say.

Can you ever own one watch? Is it possible to only have one timepiece for life and find horological nirvana?

In a puzzle as old as watch collecting the boys have an in depth discussion and debate on one of the most posing and difficult questions known to the watch enthusiast.

They certainly dig deep and get into some real psychological back-and-forth, explaining their watch collecting habits with their influences, and if they can give it all up for that holy grail "one and done" watch?

So sit tight and buckle up once more as Parm and Andy take a closer look at the watches they have, the watches they let go and ultimately themselves to see if they can make the ultimate sacrifice of a one watch collection.

Join in the debate and see where we end up. Do all roads lead to Rolex? Is Patek Philippe the ultimate grail? Or is Swatch the great equaliser?

Ever wanted to know about independent watch brands but were too afraid to ask? 

Then join Parm and Andy as they put themselves to task to find the best independent watch brands that not everyone would know about and give the low down as only they can do. It wouldn't be Chrono Passion 7 if they didn't also set themselves an almost impossible task too! So they have picked an independent brand and two watches from each brand,  at the three price points: (i) up to £5K, (ii) up to £20K and (iii) a sky's the limit any amount of money pick , so have a listen to how they get on and see if you agree with their selections.

Can Parm describe these complicated movements? Can Andy master French? Most importantly can 2024 be huge year for independent brands and also Chrono Passion 7???

So today forget your Rolex, Cartier, Omega and Swatch, to buckle up and join this white knuckle ride as we once again get stuck in!

HERE WE GO!
