We also discuss Bremont’s new global marketing chief, Singer Reimagined takes vintage Valjoux 72 movements and gives them the Singer treatment with the Heritage 72, we get into the hand-finishing details of gold alloys and what “1N” actually means, then Seiko teams up with Honda on a collaboration that is considerably more fun than you might expect, and the Ciga Design Hunter Vintage.
