Really enjoyed this wide-ranging conversation with Rebecca. Her love of what she does (making and restoring watches + watch history) shines through in so many ways. There's a lot of great advice for how to nurture your creativity, stories from history of watches and how they've shaped our perception and understanding of time and travel (think longitudinal prize for navigation, maps etc), plus a glimpse of how Rebecca sees our perception of time being transformed in the not too distant future (right at the end!). Hope you enjoy the conversation and pictures from the book, illustrated by Rebecca's husband, Craig.
Fantastic interview with an interesting and thoughtful perspective on the history of learning how to tell time by our own creations…and in that act have fallen in love with our objects of timekeeping. So much heart from Ms. Struthers, and optimism for the future of watchmaking.
A fascinating and enchanting interview with Rebecca masterfully conducted by James. I thank you both. My own copy of Rebecca's book arrived this afternoon and I look forward to reading it. Thank you and I appreciate your efforts.
Thank you very much @wellsmarshall2297 for watching and taking the time to leave such a kind comment. I'm so pleased you enjoyed the conversation and I hope you enjoy Rebecca's book! With best wishes, James.
As Rebecca mentions, in the 1780s Breguet came to London. But not generally known is that he met John Arnold who gave him information about:- Watch jewelling Compenation balances Floating balances Detent escapements Non ferrous balance springs ie those of gold The overcoil, enabling isochronal adjustment in watches The idea of theTourbillon None of the above were invented by Breguet, so IMHO it was Arnold who made the greatest contribution to watchmaking.
Time can be seen as a perception to articulate the world of a watchmaker with all its complexities and abstraction I question the viability of the pursuit the result of one's effort has to do the talking I feel

This blew me away. All I wanna do is study time now. Maybe a doctorate ? Thankyou Rebecca. You have given me direction now.
Glad you enjoyed the conversation and found it so inspiring!

Ordered it already. I can't wait. Hehe. Where's that time dilation when you need it. 😊
This is one of the best video/podcasts I have listened to for ages! I am very interested in horology and this is brilliant. I will be buying the book!

Could we hear a composition of the sonorific watches. Any DJ's into horology. 55:32
