Welcome to the Scottish Watches Podcast Episode 723!

This episode of the Scottish Watches Podcast shifts gears from pure horology to extreme velocity. Recorded from the Peninsula Hotel’s Napier Room, it brings together the minds behind Brooklands Watch Company and a lineup of guests who quite literally live life in the fast lane.

Returning guest Simon Jeffs unveils the new Spectrum and Spectrum 2 models, a vivid evolutions of the brand’s speed-inspired Triple Four chronograph. While sharing the table with legendary figures like Andy Wallace, the man who piloted Bugattis beyond 300 mph, Alastair Gibson, former F1 chief mechanic turned carbon-fiber artist and land speed racer, Andy Green, the only human to go supersonic on land, and Richard Noble, who’s currently aiming for the water speed record and having been the king of speed in the analogue age.

From aerodynamic testing at breakneck speeds to the art of sculpting motion itself, the discussion becomes a deep dive into how engineering, precision, and obsession intersect across watches, cars motorcycles and more!
