It's a rainy week in both Bristol and Burlingame, and while our fearless leader Russ is off on a rumspringa in far East Asia, sitting in for Russ is our longtime pal, sixth generation Managing Director of Fears, Nicholas Bowman Scargill to talk about the latest generation of exciting British brands (including Fears' own ten-year anniversary) who are collectively bringing watchmaking back to British shores.

As always, you can reach the boys for questions and comments at [email protected]. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!
