Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast episode 694! In this long-awaited episode of the Scottish Watches Podcast, we welcome back Jonathan, formerly the face of Edinburgh Watch Company, now officially retired but forever part of the watch community. We rewind the clock to hear about his journey from motorsports to banking to building one of the UK’s most trusted independent watch dealerships. With Edinburgh Watch Company now closed and retirement officially underway, Jonathan reflects candidly on what led to that decision, the process of stepping away, and the passions—cars, watches, and storytelling—that still drive him today.
