Brigham also discusses his experience modding outside the world Seiko, which is quite rare! Thanks for educating us Brigham!

In our discussion, we chat with Alex about his collecting philosophy, how we decided to concentrate on pocket watches, the importance of escapements and mechanical ingenuity, and how his collection was assembled and prepared for the HSNY exhibition.
If you are a fan of horological scholarship - you will enjoy this.
