Recently Andy has been raving about a well-sized, vintage-inspired chronograph that’s had a firm place on his wrist for the last few weeks: The Antigua from Méraud Watches. So it only made sense to get the founder of this boutique Belgian brand — Stijn Busschaert — on for a chat. Stijn tells us how passion led him to start his own brand, and how a burgeoning new wave of online independents has supercharged the space. Of course, we also dig into the details of the Antigua, in particular the vintage Landeron 248 movements Stijn sourced, to ensure a pure spirit and slim profile. Plus, an unlikely Unimatic collab and possible big corporate moves.
